We've started work on Excruciating Guitar Voyage 2!
It's an adventure game, with sprinklings of 2D platformy action!
Developers:
ME - programming/scripting/writing/design & construction
Kev - scripting/writing/design & construction/some programming
Tim/Emily - art
Various - voices & faces


Hooray!

I wrote a quick blog entry on some of the stuff I've done so far:

We’ve started work on EGV2. There’s no point keeping it secret. We’re working on EGV2 right now!

A few things have changed and improved since the first. We’re making a real effort to bring the characters and the whole EGV world to life… we’ve got better animation (including animated mouths!) which gives a lot more weight to the characters.. and we’ve made a few changes so the whole world feels a little less flat.

I started the week with the worryingly talented Daniel Gallagher (Dan Flashbang) recording some new material for the game… it worked out a lot better than we expected, especially given the time constraints we came up against on the night. We may have used a little too much time eating tacos (yes, really..) and watching “Hotel Inspector” (ugh), but we got the job finished by 11pm!

Then we’ve got this really great scene at the beginning of the game…. I don’t want to spoiler it yet, but I’ve been working on that.. There were a few technical challenges – we’ve got a far improved camera system, which has allowed us some really nice dynamic camera choreography for the intro scene… I’ve also written a pre-cache for our level geometry, which means we can do some neat dynamic effects mid-level.. instantly change the shape of whole buildings, etc.. with absolutely minimal overhead, as all the vertex buffers for the change have already been generated. A fairly obvious thing, in a way – but we hadn’t needed it in previous projects as level geometry had remained relatively static once created.. Not this time!

\m/ \m/ booooooooooooooo

I still have got to play the first one, man. It really got me curious and it looks like it's funny as fuck.
I saw that cutscene with a guy singing about his love affair with a chimney sweep and it was amazing.

Just out of curiosity, is EGV1 selling enough copies that you feel people want a sequel? Supply and demand, hombre.

Hey I just bought the first one and am wondering if you could add a dialogue skip button in this one.

I may as well post it here (seeing as there aren't many of you reading anyway!!)

Aaaw, your girl tears swayed me to see the video! Evil

Anyway, I haven't played EGV1 and didn't know what to expect, and, trite as the expression has become, I was actually blown away a bit! You have a special and very unique style and everything oozes irony and self-irony in the best possible way! There is a loving sense of pervasive B-ness that seems to have been intentionally crafted into ever single detail. At the same time the tech seems solid as tungsten and the game seems to play smooth and well! I think I love it Smiley

I wish I could offer some constructive or negative criticism, but I really don't know what to say without actually playing it.
