Will those things ever be localized? Seems like sort of a nightmare for localization

Nope! If we localise the game the non-English versions will have simple place names and no dialogue. The good thing is that all that is purely decorative.

[eigenbom]

Update: We're crunching now, just hammering out all the things..

place names are now in-game
added alternative starting and castle areas
added alternative house set (wooden)
added additional theming/bgs/palettes for areas
added travel transition animation
improved moon graphics
mob sets: designed and implemented
more planner work

March is nearly over, ehk! Unlikely we'll have the beta out this month. But I'm happy with our progress and I think there aren't too many hurdles left.

Here's the travel transition:

We

huuuh i thought it was only youuuu
who else?

A man is never alone while the Moon shines down upon him.

[Shackhal]

Like an adventure that lies upon the horizon.

At the moment, there's me, Alex (who does art and things) and Andrew (who is doing the SFX).

Oh and the Moon of course, it's always there..

Looking great and seems like you're progressing quite quickly with implementing things these days.

Like the fade to black for the travel transition and just curious on whether there'll also be animation for the character to move into the doorway?

Thanks FG. No animation planned but I agree that would add a nice finishing touch.

Update: This week we went through most items and selected and organised the ones for the beta. A few final elements for the planner need to be done, alongside some important bug fixes, and then I hope we have a version for testing soon. Workshops can also appear out of town now..

Here's the travel transition:

Nice, reminds me of Super Mario World etc.

Have to keep reminding myself I've already bought this. Quite often see an update here or elsewhere and think "yeah that's cool, gotta buy that... oh wait".

Thx yeah we've got a lot of backers and pre-orders, hoping to get beta out soon. Thx for supporting the game!

awsome

Update: Where have I been!??!

Well, it turns out, I had a baby. A gorgeous little girl. I posted about it on this Kickstarter update, but long story short, I took some time off to look after her and her mum, and will need to take a bit more time before getting back into Moonman. The game should be out in Beta in 2-3 months, although it's really hard to tell at this stage. I need more sleep!

[eigenbom]

Thanks! Yeah she's happy and healthy, we're both very lucky

[Schrompf]

Very cool! Congrats! Although I selfishly hope you'll to return to developing soon.
