Update on game
Added 2022-09-05 17:07:11 +0000 UTCHey, j a r s here! Thought I would provide an update on where we are at with the game. (Going to try to be better at providing updates as we get closer to finishing)
The structure is roughly split up into 3 main chapters and a prologue. The vast majority of the story is written and I would say most of the cut scenes for chapters 1-3 are in the game and working. Chapter 3 is the most finished, with all the side-quests (they will be called hangouts in the game) working and most of the art/tiles placed and finished, outside of small changes. We are still trying to figure out how we are going to resolve the story... we have kind of a big idea in our heads for it... but considering the large scope of the project already, we are going to keep the ending more simple and possibly expand on it with some sort of downloadable post-game content.
All of the big systems are basically done, and we're happy where we are at with the action-platformer parts. We mostly have the overworld traveling section working (mode7 looking stuff).
We still have a lot of art and sprite work to do, and Resni will be making some awesome music for the game as well. We want it to be pretty moody, which will fit in with the vibe of the game.
We still have lots of work to do, and tentatively hope to have the project done by early-mid 2023. Ideally, we would like to have the vast majority of the game done by the end of this year so we could spend a ton of time play-testing. There are a lot of things to refine through play-testing, so we want to dedicate a large chunk of time to it.
Anyway... it's labour day so I should get back to working on the game.
Thanks for reading :)
