New trailer up over here:



Demo updated 1.3:

• The game now has a proper pause and map screens. Escape/enter pauses, Tab - map screen.
  
• The game can't be quit by just tapping Escape (but you can quit it instantly with Ctrl+Q).
• Flowers now die and don't come back.
• Bunnies attack with a grace period, and wouldn't just gnaw at your health continuously.
• Iya now crouches properly under the ladders.
• The game-options are now get loaded properly every time.
• Not exactly a huge update, and if you already tried the demo - you don't need to re-download, but if you haven't - you totally should.

That's awesome! The new trailer blows the old one away.

The Kickstarter is in its final hours - if you feel like supporting this game - now'd be a good time: )

In unrelated news - been drawing a new tileset!


A bit generic at the moment...

Also - due to kickstarter have been drawing a lot of Iya portraits like so:

Can you pledge to your own project?

[DarkFalzX]

Technically no. But unsure how KS feels about donations from relatives.

[Conker534]

By the way I dig the hell out of everything about this game man, if I had money I'd throw $100 this way, sadly I'm broke as hell but I managed to throw $30. Been watching this kickstarter since day 1, so happy its blowing up.

[DarkFalzX]

Dude - I can understand that a 100%, and a thousand thanks for your support - I've been ridiculously poor for a while now (though despite my better judgement still pledging a bit of money to Ghost Song http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192311215/ghost-song-a-journey-of-hope)

you can make it but you'll need to make more noise

[J-Snake]

HINT:
If it becomes critical then just spend the few thousends from your own pocket or ask a friend to do it for you.

Even though I strongly disliked the philosophy and execution of gameplay in the demo so far I am positive with help since it is your passion.

[Swifty]

I bumped my pledge from $5 to $30 - You've got this!

[dhontecillas]

You have my little contribution too (only 15$, sorry). I can not pledge too much because I'm currently living on my savings, but I've retweeted and shared it. You are going to make it! I'm sure you won't have to put any money from your pocket.
Also, I'm sure you will keep your eye on the kickstarter page for the next few hours. Good luck!  

[moi]

it's only $500 left, so you know what you have to do

[Keops]

290 to go! This is one kickstarter for the annals of indie kickstarter history! The last two days have been amazing.

EDIT!

Whoa! A bump to 75321! You got this! Congrats dark!

[dhontecillas]

Congrats !!

[devMidgard]

You've been funded! Congrats!!

[Raiyumi]

That's an amazing comeback! Haha, congrats!

[Chis]

you have my $20, and congratulations!! would've hated to see this fail.

I tried the demo now and while the graphics are absolutely amazing, almost even better than Henk Nieborg's stuff, the animations take far to long to complete, and the fact that you must wait for an animation to complete until the character moves makes the game feel like moving through syrup... or not really controlling the character directly, only influencing what she should do, which is not what you expect from a platformer like this.

I missed backing, but if there is ever an updated demo, I'll absolutely be there for it. Right now, this is an amazing art project. I just hope the game comes together as well!



PS. Imo, the demo should not default to fullscreen. It's too pixelly for modern monitors. The title screen logo can't even be read, it's just a blur. It's gorgeous in a window, though.

Late to the party (as usual!) but this game looks like it could be an instant classic.  I'll be trying the demo out sometime this coming weekend.  Glad you made the Kickstarter goal!  I'll help you spread the word...
