Looks great but Desi's voice is too quiet

[CEDE]

Thanks!

We still have to do our mastering session for the vocals.

I have not done an update in a while, but we definitely have been busy. We have a lot of the puzzles finished, and the bulk of the animated story. It seems like we are done to the last few weeks.

The downside though is that its hard to choose what shots of the puzzles to post. I kind of want to hold back on those until people can actually play them.

For now here are some screenshots of the servant and Desi's doctor:

moi: totally the vibe I was going for. 

Just wanted everyone to know we got the mastered soundtrack from Cornelis this week and it sounds amazing! His work is brilliant.

Also progress got a tiny bit slow for me in the beginning of November because I was working on a music video. I turned that in last week and got right back to Desi full time. Now things are beginning to wrap up very quickly.



We are hoping to finish up by early December and submit the iPad version to the App Store. After that we will release the additional versions every few weeks as they are completed. We still have the iPhone, Mac and PC desktop versions planned.

Speaking of platforms do any people here develop for Android?

Oh lawdy, I love the guy with the huge noes :D. I also like that he slipped on some hot pink lu lu lemons to go with his blazer. That guy has style.

The most stylish servant of all time!

Off topic: Here is the music video that delayed my work on Desi a little bit:

Its nearly that time!

We finished the iPad version of the game!

Yesterday we submitted it to the App Store. After it is through the review process we will know the release date.

For now we are working on stuff like the trailer and website getting ready for promo.

Do any of you here have iPads and want to try out the game early?

[CEDE]

Hello again!

I worked on a trailer over the past day and wanted to post it here before making it completely public.

Here is the direct link:



I am pretty happy with it and its an amazing feeling to see a whole year of your work come together in something like this.

Holy dang that was amazing. I'd spread it around, though the video is unlisted or something?

I was worried about the gameplay and except for the sliding puzzle it looks very solid.

Great work!

Thanks!

Its only unlisted for the moment. I kept it unlisted in case anyone I sent it to right now thought it was awful. But the feedback has been all been positive so I guess I should make it public.

Thanks! I definitely have more bonkers game ideas planned for 2012, including Desi Leaves Town 2.   

Oh and it was just approved minutes ago by apple!!!!

Just letting everyone know that I made an official announcement thread: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=23436.0

So most of the updates will be appearing there from now on.

[CEDE]

The iPhone / iPod Touch versions are wrapping up today and should be submitted soon.

Then its on to the desktop versions and a demo to send to Steam!

It's about time someone returned the favor. CEDE, you're awesome.

[happymonster]

It should look like a pixeled version of a post-it drawing really..

[Starflier]

This looks like a lot of fun, it reminds me of The Neverhood a little bit, from the way the puzzles and story seem to interact.

Thanks! This really makes me wish there were some mini game that looked like this. Its so cool.

That's awesome! I noticed your game on playism.jp. What was your experience like dealing with them?

Edit: This thread should also be stickied.

Working with the Playism guys has been great. They are a very motivated, helpful and genuinely nice group of people. They are working with us on a full translation in Japanese for release on their platform. We are hoping to see it released by March at the latest.

But if you are thinking of working with them, then I would say go for it. And they really do care a lot about the indie scene and are doing their part to grow it and also expose people in Japan to more of these kinds of games.

Also how do I go about making this a sticky? I have seen completed projects stickied at the top but don't know how to go about it.

Thanks! Also the iPhone / Touch version should be releasing this week and the desktop (PC / Mac) version is wrapping up too.
