Hey, a new micro-update

Our friends of Esoteric Software have made a second kickstarter for their amazing bone-animation program: Spine. Give it a try if you didn't yet, and please,consider supporting them because the new features are really cool: Free Form Deformation, Meshes, IK...(c'mon we need it desperately for development of Trashman !!!).And... We're on their new KickStarter video!

Hey! We're still alive and working hard!

This week we've been working on some enemies (space turrets and jelly enemies with a shield), particle effects, the HUD and some decorative elements.

Here you have some plants sketches...

...and their final animated version:

Lastly we want to show you the first video of The Intergalactic Trashman (from march 2013). It's an animations and physics early test. Hope you enjoy it

Hey!

Sorry for the lack of updates, we're working hard on the last details of the first playable alpha.

To sum up, this week...

- ...We've completed the space turrets (or satellites).
- ...We've included text windows (pop ups) the tutorial tips, mission objectives and clarifications about things that haven't been included in the game yet (crafting system for example).
- ...We've added the connection between the "sandbox" and "special" space stages. This connection has been made using portals! Note: sandbox = exploration part ; special = a mini-arcade stage to complete an specific objective.
- ...We've created the main menu (a provisional main menu of course, the final main menu is planned and It'll be more interesting than the actual main menu )
- ...We've solved bugs.
- ...We've drunk liters of coffee.
- ...We've (almost) done our new typography (aka font).

(Provisional) Main menu! (the text (play,exit,options...) is hidden in this gif)

Space (gatling) turrets:

The screenshot for the screenshot saturday.There is no ambient light on it, and an error on the color of the tiles...but wow look! the new shield enemy is there!  and the little spiderbot too

The last #ScreenshotSaturday screenshot  .

Today, it's a great day, We're merging space and platforms at last!.

We're not dead (yet). We're working day and night on this (yes, "just" for the release of the alpha 1, almost 30% of the whole game.)

Cheers!  



Hey I forgot the new computers!

Since it's on IndieDB will it be on Desura? :D

Looks cool and congrats on getting near Alpha 1. Nice milestone.

Thank you Trentg! 

Yep, we want to be on Desura, Humble bundle store, Steam...I hope so! 

We're working now on the last (damn) details. Then, we'll do an internal and intensive testing and finally, we'll release the alpha to the public

Current pre-alpha screenshots (we're on internal testing right now!)




 

[karlozalb]

Yes, we're still alive  

Last week we released a "friend version" of the pre-alpha, in order to solve the max number of bugs for public release. We've solved a lot of little damn bugs, and now we want to add some features.

Final tasks for this week: Translate everything to english (we've done all the texts in spanish for our families and friends), solve a couple of weird bugs, and add the gamepad support. Thank you for your interest and patience  

And... BTW, our Ludum Dare 28 game "Wilhelm's escape" (Trashman is hidden inside )

PRE-ALPHA1 IS OUT!!

Finally! Here you have The Intergalactic Trashman public pre-alpha 1!

This is our first milestone, and it's just a "techdemo". Currently, the game lacks of many things, but we already have a lot of plans for the next milestone.

Be aware of bugs/paranormal activities inside the game   (and send it to us via forum or webpage contact form, please!)

Give it a try and tell us what you think about the game in every aspect (gameplay, design, music, sound...) We need your feedback to improve!

Thank you all for your support!

IMPORTANT: Read README.txt for controls! and use 'E' (action key) to select the desired option in the menu and gameover.

Notes:
- Windows version is a .exe file. The pack contains a jre version so, you don't need to install java if you don't want to.
- All-platforms jar version needs java 7 installed on your computer.

Hey!

We're alive. There is an explanation about the lack of updates: we're working on the future crowdfunding campaign (artworks & a trailer that shows all the new and supercool features).

That's the design/music work. About coding work, we're including some new features and improving the overall game to support even more features (like conversations, the main character's special habilities, and a lot of supersecret stuff )

Here you have an artwork, hope you like it! and thank you for your support and patience!

Hi all!

It's been a while since last update. We have two major updates:

- We're working on our KickStarter campaign: we're making sketches, artworks, the trailer, talking about rewards, goals,...
We hope we will launch the KickStarter campaign on one or two months but, you know, it's a lot of work if we want a successful campaign.

- We're moving from Java/LibGDX to Unity: We almost have the first pre-alpha ported to Unity. Why Unity? Because we can export
the game to more platforms, and the developing process tasks, such as adding assets, creating physics bodies, build planets,... are faster.
Testing and adjusting parameters in Java/LibGDX is a slow task too (in comparison with Unity, of course).
Another important reason is the level designing and building, we don't need an specific editor, just an Unity extension.

While the designers are working in all the art stuff for KickStarter, the coders are adding new cool features
(planet jumping, ropes, dash, new enemies, conversation system, ...).

Here you have some of the new stuff:

Mechanized enemy:

Ghoyold (your co-worker):

Your personal AI:

Explosive spiderbot!:

Hope you like it!

Cheers!

Nice artwork and animation as always. I'm sure I will be backing it as soon as its up! Kickstarters are a stressful thing, best of luck!
