Let's get a demo! When can I try this bad boy out?

DAY 316 - February 28, 2012

• Started and got halfway through a paper design of the entire world (will post photos tomorrow).

So Lumberjack is wrapping up, and once that's done (in maybe a week from now), I'm gonna get serious about getting this game playable from start to finish. The project has slowed down development of this game as you can probably tell, but at the same time, it's been super beneficial. My animation skill has improved twofold, and I've learned a hell of a lot about pacing and finishing a project. And we'll likely be continuing the Bytown series (albeit probably not at our original 1-per-month schedule (probably 1-per-month with a couple week break in between)), which is awesome. /ramble

@rek
I've actually added some cool areas that are picture worthy, but most of them revolve around the endgame so I'd rather keep them secret for the time being. I love posting screenshots here and hearing your guyses feedback, but for the sake of keeping some surprises, I'm gonna keep the updates sparse. Also, lazy.

Hey, that's awesome! 
I'm glad Bytown has been so beneficial for you.
I should do something like that too

DAY 317 - February 29, 2012

• Worked on Land of Dead Trees.

MYSTERIOUS.

[mokesmoe]

I've been there.


(As in BC after the forest fires. Maybe this picture could be some inspiration?)

DAY 318 - March 1, 2012

• Worked on Realm of the Lutins.

Haven't been able to finish that world map due to Lumberjack, but will try to tonight. I'll also post screenshots of all these places on Screenshot Saturday.

@mokesmoe
That's pretty crazy. I've been in some small forests around here that have died due to disease but never a huge forest fire like that.

DAY 319 - March 2, 2012

• World map is 80% complete.

I know the pages look blank, but trust me they are actually quite full. It's the lighting!

[Rob Lach]

I love that you drew it out like that on big sheets of paper.
