It's been a crazy past few weeks with the opening of the Kickstarter.
The reaction has been very good so far, but it's a lot to keep in control. I try to get at least 7 hours a day of work in on the actual game, but that can be hard when there are other things that need your attention.
However, that doesn't mean I haven't made progress... it just hasn't been as easy as it was. I spent the week perfecting the games “Item World”... so as to what that is... I guess I'll just copy and paste the thing I wrote up for the kickstarter blurb about it (not yet posted)
(For the videos we're creating about each important party member.
[we're not really showing all of them]):
:Mark cassidile Plays an important, yet slightly humorous role.
While developing two brothers, it was important to us to address an issue that always arises in video games: How does the hero carry all of those items?
In our game, the answer is simple.
in order to a transport huge amount of items, the player needs a party member with a large bag. One example of this character type is Roy Guarder's close friend Mark Cassidile.
To access items in the game, the player enters an “item world.” this is the inside of marks huge bag that holds all of roy's belongings. However, there are secrets to be found here... so keep an eye out!
Previously the Item World I had created worked, but it didn't look too pretty. Now it's like a very strange looking interior area with all of Roy's junk thrown everywhere.
Basically, once you jump in the item carriers bag you can quickly gain access to all the items you've collected to equip them... this system has a lot more depth but I'd rather show that than just say it.
I'll post some images or video of that later. In the mean time I'll leave you with an image of the first item carrier type party member you encounter: (Mark)
