Hey

It's been a while, the game is progressing well and I hope I'll have time to write a big news to announce you a lot of things by the end of the year.

Here is a video about my trip in Japan for Tokyo Game Show 2016:

More gif for you ^^

Hello

I wrote a news on IndieDB for Christmas.
It's also the time for me to announce big decision. I decided to leave my job at Persistant Studio on January to start working full time on Tako. It also means that I'll leave Paris to return to my hometown to save the more money as possible for the release and to prepare what's next. It's a big change in my life, a bit scary, but I feel that it's the right time to do it, focus all my energy on Tako to make it the best game as possible.

I can't tell you now, but some great news are coming up for the new year. Thank you all for you support and for making 2016 that great.

Hey

As this month was my last as a Parisian, I tried to see friends and visit the city rather than work on the game in Januray, but it's still progressing.

I'll leave my job at the end of the week, then I'll be full time on the game

To say goodbye to Paris, I met a french street artist known for displaying octopuses, GZUP (https://www.gzup.fr/in-the-streets/, and we did a little collaboration, GZUP X Tako. You can know find some of my sprites in the streets

I love everything about this especially the lovely palettes! How do you go about choosing new colours?

[chrisDeneos]

Thank you! I'm using the original game boy palets

In the game you can change the palet in the option menu or in game with the shoulder button of your gamepad.

It's not done yet but I think I'll make an option "auto palet" to change the palet according to where you are in the world.

[jctwood]

Ah wow I honestly did not know how varied those palettes were. THe auto palette idea is very nice!

[chrisDeneos]

Hey, sorry for not giving news here for ages!

A lot of things happened after I left my job in January to work fulltime on the project, but don't worry the game is still in development, I can now say that it's almost the end as I started working on the final scene.

There are multiple things I can't wait to announce you, but I can't yet



(PS: Here is the first official artwork, drawn by Valentin Seiche (http://airfortress.tumblr.com/ for the BitSummit in Kyoto, where I showcased the game in May).



See you soon with awesome news! ^^
