Hi! Big, late update today from my devlog: Now that most of the core code is in place, I've switched my focus toward putting together content like new environments, character sprites, weather/day/night presets, etc. There's too much to list in full detail, but here's a whole bunch of screenshots. Enjoy! I've really begun to make full use of the character sprite generation pipeline I mentioned in an earlier post. Here's a high res of some character animations generated using the process (click for full resolution): I've also been putting together an official reveal video trailer for the project that I'll be sharing early next week, along with a Kickstarter campaign for the project! With the reveal and campaign launch, I'll be sharing much more in-depth info on the project, including details on what I'm aiming for with the story and combat system. The next week should be filled with lots of updates- follow along on by liking me on Facebook and following me on Twitter!

Lovely stuff. Although I'm not entirely sure however, do the characters have perspective based skewed proportions while the environments don't? That's kind of a weird decision. But I don't think it looks bad or anything, I only really thought of it after starting to write this. Lovely, really.

Thanks Alextended! Yep, the characters have some perspective while the environments don't. I wanted to keep some perspective on the characters since it allows for more pixels on their faces, but I haven't figured out a way to add perspective to the environments without breaking collision detection, etc. Plus I think maybe my eyes just got used to seeing big heads from my early jRPG days...

Great animations, I like that you have cut scenes using the in game graphics. It makes me think of the awesome little sprites backstabbing each other (literally and figuratively) in Final Fantasy Tactics. But yours are of higher fidelity and not SD. Awesome. I can't back it though, Kickstarter has banned me for linking to another site that provided background information of a scammer that started a project there despite the fact I had backed like 10.

I'm really iffy about Kickstarters because of the excess of time that passes between most Kickstarters and a tangible product.
When would closed beta be? That'd be a big factor in deciding whether or not I want to back the game. It looks great but I'm not one to put money towards a game I can't play for a year or so.

Well, the point of kickstarter is to fund projects to actually get developed (even if many these days use it as just for marketing and don't need the funds to make the product) so what you're iffy about is basically the whole point of its existence. Games take time (and sometimes money). You can wait and buy/pre-order the game proper I guess.

Hi Johnki, your concern's understandable. Personally I only back Kickstarters if I either feel its a safe bet from an established studio that I support, or if I feel like the developer is sincere and in need (with the understanding that some risk is involved). As far as the beta, my plan is to share playable builds by Q4 of this year. I hope to have something ready to submit for this years IGF deadline, meaning sometime before October. The full game won't be there, but there will be a completed early segment showcasing the core mechanics.

Well done on the Kickstarter! I can see from the video that you and I have followed a similar vein of thinking on how to distill tactical combat, but your solution is clearly more elegant. Can't wait to play it!

The game looks great but I feel like it's too clean compared to earlier screens, earlier ss felt more like a painting which I loved the aesthetic there was also this old nostalgic feeling to them which might be lost because things look more saturated. Kind of miss the hand painted characters, did you move to 3d because it's less work? something to consider is rendering the 3d models into a spritesheet and painting over the frames them when you have some extra time. Find this approach a lot easier/faster than hand painting frames directly and can get as good results.
Still it's a game I would to play : ) keep up the great work!

How couldn't I see this game before? Wah seems like a nice "cross-cultural" RPG between Western en Eastern influences, pretty cool indeed. Follow.

Yeah I agree, think you lost part of the original magic of the old art style. Good luck!

Made a ton of changes to our combat system. Instead of traditional turn based combat, I'm switching over to something closer to Transistor or Frozen Synapse, where unit actions occur simultaneously. Here's a link to the full update: http://www.codagames.com/big-changes/Some screens:

Hey guys, I'll be at GDC and the Indie Megabooth @ PAX East with a build of the game. If you'll be at either, come say hi and give the game a try! Also, here's a new trailer: !
