Beautiful music! I really enjoyed the demo too, definitely felt the Yume Nikki vibes with all the portals : D
Are those brown tiles ladders? If so, I'd opt to make them more readable.

Love the ending music alot :D that game will be incredible

[melos]

finished up ending song today...will go through and polish later.

Worked more on mountain area. pretty close to being happy with it though will need to breathe some life in with NPCs...walking around is great and all but..it's interesting to have little people in there who have their own views on how they feel about a certain part of the map (and it's pretty effortless to put them in etc.)

This means that the launch date won't be delayed and the game will be launched by Decemeber :D YaaaaaaaY :D

That's my feelings also The game is so incredible I hope it makes a huge success

[melos]

today this happened


(I want to submit to  pax east and go in March)



now to map the touch input in some way......

[melos]

aaand reasonably done...as good as it might get...there's a slight lag on some input but I don't really know what else I can do (using only 3 event listeners...)

just need to put in sprites for the "buttons" and then change words around.

and cross my fingers that pax east lets us go. that would be so cool

That's means that you are going to release Anodyne for Android too that's nice

But why you say they won't allow you to go to pax east (I didn't went to any game event before) does this means they choose the accepted games to be shown there?

Good Luck again there's only around one month left for the anodyne launch

[melos]

yup. I hope so!

haven't done much work today - went to a meetup downtown and played some others' games, got to
watch people play anodyne a bit.

the mobile release will definitely come after the PC release, juts because it's idiotic to release a mobile game in the holiday season..

tried to make a little "electronic" (not game-sounding) music and do some drawing, neither of which I am particularly good at...

anyways if you click this picture it twill take you to an indiedb news post. not too muchy ou wouldnt knowa bout from reasding hte devlog, though

Why is it idiotic to release a mobile game on the holiday season?

If you look at this article by the creator of SteamBirds, his sales peaked during holidays:

oh! perhaps not. my worry is that press might be inundated at that point and people may be busy playing other games...which are my main points of being unsure about putting anodyne out in december...but I do really want to have it out this year.

I have the same fears with that so I am thinking in releasing my new game on the early of 2013 to get away from the holiday season.

But I think if you got to PAX east you can make a hype of your game (becz its cool ) so it won't be affected by the holiday in a negative way but it can make use of that period

Yeah, it would be cool to do so and I wouldn't be as worried during release. Going to submit to that very soon!

Yesterday I didn't do much with the game...well, I DID plan out the ending credits sequence, so that's something. Wait, no, I did do stuff - I finalized mobile GUI and some stuff so I can just drop in Jon's sprites when he finishes them and we will be good to go.

If you go to PAX East tell me what day.

[melos]

If you go to PAX East tell me what day.

sure. are you going? I'm hoping I get into that indie showcase thing. Otherwise I'm not sure yte (I have to also pay for train/plane to boston etc.)

Well I plan on going since I live an hour away from Boston by train. Would be cool to meet up with some indies while I'm there.

This means that you have finished every aspect of the game (PC version) just some polishing stuffs and some menus missing but core game is ended Waiting on Fire

No, as much as I wished the game was finished, it just means that I finished porting it to mobile, the levels/etc. are not platform development. We still have a few areas to finihs.

We released a trailer of Son of Nor during GDC Europe. We thought it would be cool to have some news for a bigger gameshow. But as you said, press was so stuffed with other news, all our mails to the press literally drowned. I mailed a follow up 2 weeks later and some people apologized for not seeing it and they confirmed they had too many emails. So there you have it.

I guess releasing a game for holidays that the press is waiting for is certainly a good idea. A game that gets featured in the app stores of this world. Anything else might be a gamble. At least that's our experience.
