fine I'll just mess with your emoticons. So I'm about 90% sure I'm switching my animation process from Flash to Toon Boom. TB went to a monthly sub model, so now it's acutally affordable. Plus, there is built in Unity integration. For starters you can now use an orthographic camera, which is a huge awesome plus. I don't really know at this point how useful that is when exporting to Unity right now tho. Im messing around with this now because I want the overworld map to be a psuedo-ortho viewpoint, like Dont Starve  |

i'm happy to report that progress on this game is resuming once again i'm in the planning stages of a Kickstarter campaign to fund the game's production no KS launch date yet - want to get everything sorted 110% before even thinking of a launch date a lot has happened in the past couple years. i'm on the lookout for another programmer as the game is taking a slightly different direction, but at it's core is still a hand animated platformer with tons of collectables, for PC & consoles. i'm way too excited to be working on this again  |

Awesome to hear this will be a thing and fully support the KS idea. What genre do you see this moving to? I'd assume that changes with the move to orthographic perspective...

Oh, nah, the ortho stuff is for testing out how an overworld map would look. the game is still a 2D side scroller
the changes aren't much & mostly behind the scenes stuff. I've learned a lot about how ambitious ideas can get vs. how practical they are to apply & have scaled the game back in a way that still has all the weird fun stuff in it but is actually doable within a reasonable timeframe & budget

Awesome! :D Game design is very iterative, it demands a good deal of courage to let go of pet ideas and take a few steps back but it pays out.

^ yes it's super tough. Having an idea that can be "anything & everything" usually ends up being nothing at all.
practicing some restraint & saying to yourself "Ok, this is a cool idea, but it doesn't really make sense for the whole" is tough but a good skill to have, I've learned.

yes yes yes yes!
weve got a super talented gentleman on board who is doing code & I'm building "levels" right now inside unity to test all of the basic mechanics we're shooting for to see whats fun.

Good ol' block prototyping... That's always fun. I always tend to get too distracted with the visuals to fully nail down the core mechanics first. Looking really solid...
