That's a pretty interesting take on it, and I do hope it turns out to be true.

Gave the two songs a listen! I love atmospheric stuff. Particularly liked the second one, although I'm biased since it had a sound that reminded me of Anodyne. Signed up to the newsletter, looking forward to recieving something!

Thanks! I'm revisiting a little bit of Anodyne's style with this soundtrack - creating synth instruments resembling older FM tones, more some straightforward pop-structure/pop-melody style game music. Some of that popped up in Even the Ocean's OST but a lot of ETO's OST was exploring more ambient territory.

Hi Superb Joe!

[melos]

Hey all, wanted to throw a quick update here - I have a rough trailer that will be going up hopefully this weekend, as well as the live steam page. The name will be revealed....

[melos]

ANNOUNCING... All Our Asias!!

I'll probably post this to Social Media tomorrow...

[Alce]

Lovely! Music is awesome, the PSX graphics are great in motion, and the name is intriguing. Hadn't realized your avatar is that tank-ish vehicle thingy though, but it looks interesting!

[Pixel Noise]

Nice! I like the trailer, nice visuals and music.

[melos]

Thanks all! I am actually making some changes to the trailer and UI modifications. (There's nice portrait art from Ray Chen I want to include).

And yeah, the avatar being a tank is because making a human-shaped avatar look okay against environments is a little beyond me - it's really easy for people to tell scale is off or things look weird.

In some ways though, the tank thing is kind of weirdly memorable. And it's easier to get away with a wider variety of environments that aren't perfectly to scale.

On a symbolic level, the game is about a person exploring ideas that are new to him, so the idea of being in a sheltered tank, like a travelling observer, is interesting to me.

[melos]

So, here is a new trailer with the updates.





Mostly working on music recently, and some coding stuff. Was thinking about IGF... won't submit. the timing wasn't great for All Our Asias and wasn't in a position where a push for development would have gotten it to a reasonable point. I'd much rather submit the whole game, so I might do that for other competitions? Plus, I feel more iffy on awards ceremonies as I grow older, so yeah.

[melos]

So, I announced the game as well as a trailer. Go ahead and retweet this: https://twitter.com/sean_HTCH/status/916014291526004737

For the interested, you can follow me on Itch.io , or wishlist the game on Steam.

new devlog :~) https://sean-han-tani.itch.io/aoa/devlog/12703/011-all-our-asias

Working on more music... and slowly implementing more cutscenes. I'm planning on having the game in testing by this year, release January, probably.

I might release a song from the game this week - I'm sitting on a ton of music right now, which is unusual for me since I've tended to be prone to sharing in the past.

The music for this game has an interesting feeling to it... there's a big focus on there being many more melodies while not feeling too in the way, we'll see how it goes. I've still got the occasional ambient track here and there, which I think will be interesting as well. I feel like this soundtrack is meshing together really well..! (The game too, ha ha)

[melos]

Implemented more cutscenes this week. Not much music work related to the game. Also been playing a lot of the new Mario, which is great.

One thing I want to mention is as I'm revising the dialogue I've been making it read more like a novel, vs. conversations in a game. So there's some non-dialogue description of the main character observing or doing stuff. I think this helps bridge the lo-fi gap - there are basically only two NPC models in the game, so having descriptions lets people form some mental images. Not an ideal solution, but it works for my budget.

So instead of something like

Manager: No. Not letting you out of here.

It would be

The Manager glares at Yuito. "No. Not letting you out of here," he says.
Yuito looks down at the desk.

Story-wise, it's not really adding much. I think it helps, because otherwise some of the conversations feel a little flat without extra visuals or movements.

here's a music snippet!

Some new art.

Same as usual. Finishing up music, modeling areas, implementing the dialogue, cleaning dialogue. Hopefully wrapping this up this month!

[melos]

Howdy all, got a new devlog update coming soon. Recently got 3 out of the 4 commissioned songs into the game. I've started on every song but two, and those two are quite short. It's nice to be finishing music. I think the soundtrack will come in around an hour or so? Not quite sure.

In the meantime, if you're hungry for some gameplay footage... and music:

I posted a full song from the OST! https://soundcloud.com/seagaia/all-our-asias-ost-desert-crossroads

Past few weeks have been good - I have had some days off from teaching and have made a lot of headway on the game. In particular, I'll probably finish the OST this week!  I also finished my final revision of the dialogue. The last thing to do is finish a few areas visually and get a few NPCs into the game.

The game should be out next month, stay tuned!

[Alce]

Nice song! Love the ambience the wind SFX adds. Do you have any plans for the OST when you release the game? (as in selling it, uploading it for free, etc.)

Yep, the OST will be on sale for $5-7 (not sure yet) on Steam/Itch/Bandcamp. However I will likely also upload it to my Youtube account which would effectively be free!

[melos]

Hey all, so the game is nearly complete! It'll be out end of this month or early february, again for free but you can opt to pay for a collection of screenshots and the soundtrack!!

And I put out a new song, too. https://soundcloud.com/seagaia/help-them-out The OST was finished a few weeks ago, and features music from a few artists - EQUIP, _zebra, Bryant Canelo and kynes/ari gateau

Here's a picture in the meantime!

The graphics remind me of the LSD Dream Emulator.

Good Job
