I showed this to my girlfriend last night and she said "I'd play this game". She doesn't like any games. Good job, good job.

Aw yay! Thanks, it means a lot! If we reach our stretch goal for Local Co-op on Kickstarter you two can play it together!  |

This is pretty damn awesome! The environments look great, and the gameplay sounds interesting; I'm quite fond of having multiple controllable characters with different playstyles, as well (Though I'm a bit biased ) And those cutscenes...  I can barely comprehend making a sprite, let alone an actual, fully animated scene. |

Wanted to post a few development updates here! Now that we're back in full production, its nice to get out and talk to the community again!: INTRODUCING THE NEREIS DESERT & OUR PROCESS  We got some interesting advice from game designer & entrepreneur Jordan Weissman- Start your development in the middle of your game. That way you know where you have to ramp up to from the first level and you know what the pace is to get to the end. And so we started with our 3rd level, the Nereis Desert. You may have seen this level in the Kickstarter promo materials, where Bart was nearly eaten by one of the Desert's fiercest foes, the burrowing, ravenous Ragworm.  Our development process works like this- First, Bryce draws out the level as an expansive, huge sketch in Photoshop. This gives us time to actually "play" the level on paper, design the puzzles and make sure every part of the level is packed with unique interactions and things to find. Already this process has revealed annoying puzzles and empty stretches that we were able to tweak and remove now as opposed to wasting time building it.  Then we lay out 'grayboxes', untextured platforms, in the actual game engine to test the flow of the level. We build the whole level this way and then move on to internal playtesting. Meanwhile, Lifu programs new features- elevators, Ragworm AI, new turrets. Finally, Bryce will begin the process of creating temporary artwork to define the colors and feel of a level.  Right now, we've begun the process of grayboxing the desert and already I can't wait to play it! If you've played the demo, I think you're going to be really amazed and how much those concepts and gameplay expand over a larger space. |

Interesting idea with the starting development in the middle idea! That's one I'll definitely use for my longer story-driven games. Can't wait to see more progress made in the coming months!

It's been pretty quiet as we've been hunkering down to work. One of the biggest changes we've made was shifting the perspective on the ground blocks:  We also re-worked Clu's explosive trap so that it's a little more, well, explosive:  Aside from that, it's mostly greyboxing for flow. One of the unique things about our levels is that Bryce actually handpaints the levels as opposed to using tiles. This gives us a chance to really build those levels and test them for flow before we committ. Unfortunately, it also means that our development screenshots are pretty gnarly. We've been talking about getting a co-op demo ready for sometime early next year- We'll keep you updated! |

Thanks, Grog! Dash and Atlas looks great- You had us at Blaster Master.
Anyway, we're hopefully moving our first level into Alpha testing next week and we'll have some cool gameplay footage!
