Log 7/27/2019

A few days later, I present my first log.  Important: Every asset, sprites and tilesets alike are going to be replaced with customized assets. The current appearance is merely a placeholder. Things are very subject to change right now.

The beginning has changed from before - Kem’s more clearly involved in telling the “urban legend” at the begnning, and he drops you off at the village for a brief interaction with some villagers. There, you meet Static...And eventually make your way to the mansion.

And that’s the end of the log. Short, but keep in mind it’s been like two days since I started work on it again...From scratch....Gonna be some time! Thanks to everyone sticking around!

Here’s the Deal

I’m going to restart my work on Swamp Surgeon as of 7/25/2019. However, this means I’m going to do it entirely all over. A lot of what I want to happen has changed, since it was originally rushed for a PixelHorror Jam, when I only had so long to make it. Now I can think about what I want to do, and take my time.

So here’s what I’m doing. I’ll start by making the game entirely with RTP, and then later, I will fix it up with custom assets. This will speed up production I feel, and then I can focus later on assets I can keep. (Because if I draw everythng now I WILL want to change it..)

Thank you for your patience everyone! Swamp Surgeon is back in action!

“Is Swamp Surgeon Dead?”

Short answer: no, it’s just still on hiatus.

Long answer: I’m focusing on a lot of other projects before I dive back into here, nbut the project isn’t dead for good. Just fo r the time being! I still intend to bring htis game to life, but I have other priorities too. Thanks foru nderstanding and for sitcking around <3

I know I’m posting a lot today, but I actually am gonna be having all four of my wisdom teeth out on thursday, so I won’t be able to work on Swamp Surgeon much. So I figured I’d show some things now.

So here’s some settings I’ve put at the beginning of the game. They’re just options about the content of the game (eg gore) and aren’t essential to turn on or off, it just depends on your comfort.

[swampsurgeon]

I’m trying to sprite Static and added some more contrast in the second pic. Still tweaking around, but hopefully whatever I do to this sprite I can remember to replicate in the others. xD

[swampsurgeon]

does the dev have a personal? just wondering!

i do! however keep in mind being that it’s a personal, its not very professional or anything, which is proven by one of my latest posts just sort of quoting the entire hotel mario script. also i change the url sometimes, but right now you can find it on @nnyab

i do enjoy talking with new people though, beyond just being a dev. Thanks for asking! <3

The music i used for the “trailer” video and also music that will be found in the game at certain points. It’s also a variation of the “Panda Pearl” theme.

Presenting...The updated references! Some things to note about these new designs, particularly rennird’s -

Runi’s outfit was changed (for the time being) because I realized that being poor, she couldn’t afford a fancy dress like the one she had. So, she gets that dress later in the game. The hair was just a cute change.

The professor looks a lot different, but I assure you it’s not actually that drastic a change because this is only one of his appearances. The previous design and other designs will make appearances too!

Then there’s Static, who...really I just cut her hair and gave her an octopus clip akjsnf

I hope you guys enjoy, I honestly have been very eager to post these but had to wait until I did all three of the main ones akjdnsjdf

I’m a serious artist. Also a sneak preview of Runi’s new design sort of. This is part of her reference. Because. Uh. I don’t really know it made me laugh that’s why. jaksjdkjsf

okay so this isn't much of a trailer, I mostly was messing around and made this video, but hey. Why not. There's no assets or gameplay in this so-called “trailer” as I have none updated for the new run, but if I do future, actual proper trailers I'll of course add those. Music composed by me.

however this video was very fun to make, but there IS a lot of flashing images and colors, so be careful watching or don’t watch at all if you think it might harm you aaa

bigger update now

i know i just made an update, but heres another - and this ones pretty important.

For those of you not aware - Swamp Surgeon is sort of a prequel to a comic of mine called Panda Pearl. Some massive changes have been made to Panda Pearl, and will thus have an effect on the plot of Swamp Surgeon. So! here we go...

The changes.

First off, you’ll be seeing updated references/designs of the Professor, Static 003, and Runi. Possibly the others too. Their personalities and backstories remain, but as an example, I’m giving Runi some different hair and a new dress, and Static’s clothes will be updated. And I’m not entirely what I’ll be doing with the Professor - he may just get a new haircut or something.

Next - I’m not sure about this yet, but for plot flow reasons, I may make the Professor the playable character. This is kind of in the air right now, I’m going t ohave to play around with my script a lot more and I’ll let you guys know. That said, Runi isn’t any less crucial to the game - we might just have less time seeing it from her perspective. We’ll see.

Besides making new tilesets/sprites, there’s one thing I want to make clear now. I was going to hold back due to the limitations of the pixel horror jam rules, but as there’s less pressure on that, there will be a lot of gore in the game. I intend to try and give the player an option at the start whether they want to have those shots...conveniently censored, you know, or if they’re just gonna go through. But this is something to be aware of regardless. One of the characters also has an...ability of sorts, and it may be seen as suggestive, but I don’t intend to linger on that factor for reasons related to my own comfort. The gore is more something to be known, even if you can opt out of it. 

I’m sure I’ll have many more things to say as time goes on but for now that’s it. Thank you all for the support and let me know any questions or concerns you may have <3

Swamp Surgeon: Octopi High (Static003 Theme)

composed by Pandrena / Ren Weldon. Please do not use this for your own game!

here’s something I’m working on recently: BGM for the game. For some reasons...behind the scenes, all the songs are pretty much titled squid/octopus puns and similar things. <3

Also, this particular melody took inspiration from an all time favorite theme of mine from Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth’s. Hence the bells/drum patterns and other similarities. In game, this song loops.
