Hi everyone,
It's been a bit so I just wanted to let you all know what I've been up to:
I just released version .96 of the demo which fixes some cutscene animations, helped polish some of the character writing, and gave enemies some new attack (that took some time to balance but the variety feels a lot better to me now).
In the background I've been working a ton on the story which I am holding back from the demo so everyone can enjoy it in the full release which still has not definite date.
I've put together a sort of video devlog or walk through of my process on how I got from making a basic idea of a game to getting it to where it is now.
It's quite a lengthy watch so if you don't have the time to check it out:
Question your initial idea to see how it holds up
Create design pillars to keep you focused
Make as basic of a game as possible (but leave room for growth)
Expand upon the foundation as you test and learn
That's all for now.
More coming soon :D
