Oh wow, no posts since October? Definitely my bad, I think I forgot I had this DevLog here!
SO! The game is VERY nearly done at this point. It's taken a lot longer than we thought, but it was worth the extra time we put in. Here's what's been going on!
Voices Complete!We cast the final character's voice actor, a very talented chap by the name of Michael Patterson. All of the VAs have recorded all their lines, save a few extras we might need to add now and then. They've all done an amazing job!
Cutscenes!Adam, the artist/animator of our team, decided that the game should have a bunch of fully animated cutscenes, some short, some long. Cue me trying to find the best balance of size and performance for fullscreen video. Most of the cutscenes are finished, and you can see some of the results below. First is a gif for easy sharing/difficult stealing, so ignore artefacts and off colours.
Animated Environments!While there's always been some movement on most screens, we decided that we'd like to really bring the swamp alive, with some animated areas! Almost all the areas now feature a lot more animation than before, and we're really happy with the result! Here's a short gif (that loops badly)
A Release Date!Sort of. We're hoping to be able to launch this August, all things permitting. It's been a long project, and it's been hard, financially and otherwise, but probably the most fun I've had working on a game.
