A game about flight attendant already sound amazing but a robot one!. cant wait to laser-beam a nut bag, or visual scan on the toilet to scolding on a couple or even the worst 'a child'

Thanks Khanin! I like those ideas lol - I can't promise any laser beaming, but the other two are possible

We showed our demo at Game Devs Of Color Expo in New York, NY this weekend. Check out pics of our sweet setup: https://twitter.com/NewBeings/status/1018149931268403200

I highly highly recommend trying to make it to this conference if you can!

Alright we're moving along

This week we implemented a greybox of the first scene of the game in which you wake up in a robot factory and get inspected by a technician wearing a weird glove who looks nothing like John Candy.



Progress!

Awesome! I really like the health metrics, i guess you can interpret how humans react to your conversation?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks vikepic : ) Yeah, the idea is that you can get a sense what they're feeling - if they're telling the truth, or excited/scared, or aroused... - sort of thinking their might be something that helps you interpret the raw data, but not sure about that yet.

Thanks for looking!

Those 3d scenes look absolutely stellar! good color choice and angry edges to things, haven't seen anything like that before

Thanks Jrap! All the 3D is by Jake: https://twitter.com/manofdingus?lang=en - He also wrote custom shaders for everything : )

Just made a page for our playable prologue/demo/proof-of-concept!

Feedback much appreciated : )

[newbeings]

Still going! Though life keeps getting in the way, we're pushing forward slowly.

[newbeings]

After Game Developers Conference we're back to it!

It's really hard to make games while working generally full time - but we're trying! We're newly focused and hope to use our GDC inspiration to push stuff forward more.

We've got another character and a new location in there now:





We've decided to make the game a lot smaller and hopefully that means we can finish it this year. Wish us luck : )
