[Mr Underhill]

Thank you so much, guys, it really took us by surprise! We're funded with 4 days to go, those stretch goals are now in sight! I'm working on a new update right now, it's been an amazing Easter Sunday (orthodox), great great feeling guys. Incredible. The game is going to happen and we couldn't be happier.



We're happy.

[and]

Awesome!!

Congratulations guys 

[Mr Underhill]

Woohoo, thanks so much!

Even greater news - we've just smashed through our second stretchgoal: we now will be Ultra Fully Voiced, and translate the game  into EFIGS (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish).

Here's the updated stretchgoals list:



Backers have been amazing, we couldn't be happier!!!

Whatup everybodaaaay! Whelp, it's been almost a year since I posted here. Uhm, was too busy, you know, making the game?

Gibbous is progressing super nicely.

Here are some gifs, y'all!





And a couple of characters:








We're adding a LOT OF STUFF TO IT!

Such as lighting effects:



Here's a



Happy Easter, everyone!

New teaser video! Any kind of feedback welcome 

[Seiseki]

Love the music and feeling!
I think it's best when you hear the voice overs at the same time.
I do think you're stretching the various clips too long though, they linger for a bit longer than you'd expect as a viewer.
The pacing would probably be a lot better if you cut most of them by 1-2 seconds.

If you want it to feel more dynamic you could probably look into different ways of doing transitions between clips.

Keep up the good work! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure Trailer https://youtube.com/watch?v=qSrxpdFSIRM  was really good, but the teaser is quite ... the opposite. 

Since this is a teaser, if you wanted to be minimalist (i.e. intended for people who are familiar with the game - e.g. Kickstarter supporters), showing the preacher scenes might be enough.  But for those that aren't familiar with the game, a "more inclusive" teaser, including some of the gameplay scenes would show that it is an adventure game.  And it is made clear at the end that it is a point and click game.  If you show the dialogue lines, then it's better to include the voiceover.  However, since the preacher's lines convey everything and the other in game dialogue wouldn't add much to the teaser, I'd remove the displayed dialogue text.

I'm not familiar with the story, but my guess is that starting with the preacher and showing him here and there with the other gameplay scenes in-between would be my first attempt to change it.

[Mr Underhill]

Thanks so much for the feedback, dudes. Unfortunately, since it's the last thing to get locked down, I only have a very small portion of the VO recorded, hence I couldn't use it where I would have wanted to. Going to ponder the length of the shots, too.

Either way, the project is still pretty far from completion, I sort of made this teaser because I had been capturing a lot of gameplay and I thought I might try and keep the game in everyone's minds.

Thanks again, I appreciate you taking your time to comment!

It's been a year since we got funded on Kickstarter, so as a thank you to our backers for their support and patience we've documented 4 weeks of working on the game and edited it into a one hour video that you can now watch on YouTube. Our own little documentary about making Gibbous for a month.

"A Month Making an Indie Game ..."  sounds like it took you a month to make the game   ... but the "A month-in-the-life documentary ..." under the video is a better way to describe it. 

Other than that, the making the video was a good idea and good luck with the development!

Yeah, I had to find a compromise so that the title length wouldn't be excessive. Hope the mini-doc shed a little light on what it's like to make this game  Thanks for your interest.

Gibbous currently has 57 characters, and they'll all be voiced.

Most of them talk. Some of them don't. This little guy below barks

Hey guys, just put up a hefty update on the VFX we'll be using in-game, which is pretty impressive if I do say so myself

Click the gif below to check it out.

Back after, woah, quite a while... It's #screenshotsaturday!

[Mr Underhill]

Hey guys! Here's our brand new, parallax scrolling main menu!

[JobLeonard]

So uh, I guess this is being developed still, given the existence of this post in the GIFs thread?

Yeah guys, you're almost as bad as me at updating your devlog!!

p.s - the GIF degradation of your main menu makes me want a pixelart version of the game hehe
