The trailer is very evocative and has definitely whet my appetite for the game!
How did you go about planning out what to put in the trailer and putting the whole thing together? I'm in the process of trying to put a video together at the minute and it's not something that I have the faintest idea where to start with it.

Thanks! The trailer came naturally from a song, which was based on understanding my game and the sorts of gameplay it has. Originally, the trailer was much longer - 2.5 minutes, fitting a song with a slow section and a faster section, based on a remix I made of the title screen song in the game. From there it was easy to weave a slight narrative together based on the game's story and various scenes. We thought of good moments to pick, then arranged some iin narrative order, then I made a list of the "colors" and feels of each scene to try to balance things out. Generally since it's an announcement trailer we want to capture a lot of people's attention fast... so fast cuts, lots of action in the scenes. It ends up being a little disingenuous to the pace of the game, but that's just marketing, I guess. So it was pretty intuitive after laying down some ground outlines. We eventually decided we wanted to keep the trailer very short so that we could still 'top ourselves' with later preview and release trailers. This is the original song for reference. I cut a lot out! https://soundcloud.com/seanhoganok/eto-trailer-song But a lot of that song is in the actual game. |

Woo hype!  I don't really enjoy the blurry hand drawn backgrounds or tiles (because I'm obsessed with crisp pixels, sorry), but I am excited to play the game! I know there's going to be some sweet game design and characters. Keep it up guys  |

This looks gorgeous, guys. The story and the atmosphere both look top-notch, and I'm seriously in love with that music!

Just a reminder: new website and trailer! Sign up for the newsletter!!!-- Thanks all! Re: the backgrounds - it's a stylistic choice, but also because this scale of a game just is impossible to finish if we use crisp pixel art - you just can't do it (with one artist) when the game has so many different areas, 15+ hrs of gameplay, etc. Glad you like the music and story stuff and atmosphere! -- Updates; I sent out some builds to friends today of the first 1/3 of the game, about 4-8 hours of gameplay (rough guess). It's finished! The first 3rd, that is. There's still missing and unfinished art, but the writing, music, level design is all there. exciting! project is definitely looking tractable. |

Hello! Things going well. Upgraded to the Flixel 4.0 API this weekend... took a while, but it's done! Mostly. Still some things to iron out, but enough is done that Joni can work on art while I do stuff.
