Video Description: Unity3d Game Window. There is a moving and rotating First Person style main character in a bedroom. They turn around and a 2D watercolor bed is shown. Quick update! I’ve implemented a little movement system in my game today, and I’m really excited by how the 2d elements look in this 3d space.
Update 6: Shipshape
Ahoy, mateys! It's me again! And of course, I have an update, as promised...
We’re on a new blog now, because we’ve been having a LOT of trouble with the old one... You can still visit it, but for now, we’re going to post more updates here. We hope you enjoy the new look of things!
Anyway, this week, we'll be going over some of the things we've been doing recently to improve the look and feel of the game! I think you'll be pleased to see what we have to share.
Moving A-head... A-gain!
If you've been with us for a while, you might remember these headsprites.
These old things were made a long time ago, and, as is usual in our team, we sought overtime to reiterate these headsprites to include more polished technique... And so I stayed up late for a few nights a while back and made these!
It's always been important to me that these characters express themselves in as many ways as they can, and headsprites help to really push that expression in a lot of fun ways. I've had a lot of fun so far making all of the various expressions you see here. And there will be plenty more where that came from, of course!
More text, more fun!
You may have seen our text UI in the video we posted last time. We like the look of it, but we realized recently that... it's a bit... constrained.
You see, writing text in an RPG format is a bit of a challenge, because lines have to fit the boundaries you set by your textbox, making every morsel of space you can get vital. It was becoming pretty clear that the space we had paired with size our font uses would lead to some very short and, frankly, not very interesting lines, so... We decided to make it wider! Here it is in action.
Hopefully, with this, we'll have a lot more space to work with... And a lot more jokes to tell!
Saving Face
We all like to save our game... I mean, who would want to lose the coveted memory of a grand adventure... Luckily, we know just the... parrot?!
Introducing Parakeep!
Parakeep is a very intelligent little bird who loves to talk and keep records of whatever someone tells them... They also love to wear hats.
Whenever someone comes close, they try their hardest to get the person's attention so they can have a conversation. People say that whatever you tell Parakeep, they can recite whenever they want... The question is, do they really know all this stuff, or is it just noises?
Jammer's Back...
It's Jam time! Enjoy a new song, courtesy of our music team! https://soundcloud.com/avast-jams/dead-of-night
Don't Forget Our Socials!
Liking what you see? Well, we love posting new stuff whenever we have it... And here's where you can find us! Our Twitter is where we usually post smaller things between updates... We've also made a NEW Tumblr (you’re here right now!) with a brand new, sleek look! This is where we will post the big updates from here on out! If you want to meet some of the crew and have a good place to hang out, you can also visit our Discord server! We'll also be launching a website in the foreseeable future... Stay tuned for it!
That's all for this time... But next time, we'll have a lot more exciting stuff to share...
See you then, and as always...
Bon voyage and smooth sailing!
It’s never too late for love!

Buy Now or Wait? How Gamers Feel About Early Access
I’m one among the many gamers eagerly anticipating Fields of Mistria’s full release on August 5th. I haven’t actually played much of it, despite hearing it recommended again and again as an incredible life sim, full of content and worth its price, even in early access! But I’ve held off. And now that early access is finally reaching its finish line, I’m asking myself: why did I wait? More…
What Black Tabby Games Gets Right About Content Marketing — and What Indie Devs Can Learn From It
Scarlet Hollow is an episodic horror-mystery visual novel and dating sim. What a combo! I was immediately drawn to this niche blend of genres, and when I read “a branching narrative so dense that you’ll see less than 1/5 of the game on a single playthrough” in its Steam description, I was sold. And, to my delight, it delivered. It’s a beautifully written story, and after one playthrough, I’ve…
Adventures Of Elliot Patch Lets You Remove The Incessant Voice Support
Silencing the Voice: How This Update Changes Everything
If you've ever played through Adventures of Elliot and found yourself reaching for the mute button every thirty seconds, you're not alone. The latest Elliot patch just dropped,. And it finally lets you disable that relentless, ever-present voice support that fans have been complaining about for months. This is the update the community has been begging for — and honestly, it's about time.
For the uninitiated, the "voice support" feature was designed to guide players through adventures — offering hints, encouragement,. And constant narration. Great in theory,. And exhausting in practiceThe new patch lets you toggle it off entirely, giving you back the immersive silence that made the original experience so magical.
Why This Patch Matters
The Elliot patch isn't just a cosmetic tweak — it's a genuine quality-of-life improvement. Developers listened to feedback and delivered a granular settings menu that lets you fine-tune exactly how much (or how little) hand-holding you want. Turn it off completely, dial it down,. Or keep it on for accessibility. That flexibility is a big win.
Think of it like don't Disturb mode on your phone,. But for an entire game world. Sometimes you just want to explore in peace.
What Developers Should Take Away
For the product managers and founders reading this: the story of Adventures of Elliot is a masterclass in shipping fast, then iterating on real user feedback. The team didn't defend a bad design decision — they fixed it. The patch lets players customize their experience,, and and that responsiveness builds long-term trust
Ship the toggle: When a feature divides your audience, don't remove it — make it optional.

There are two ways to look at this test tile set; you may see 19 unique tiles, or 9 subtiles. I put this together as a proof of concept for a dynamic tile system I plan on implementing. By using subtiles it is possible to reduce memory requirements for the tile set by 93%, which is frankly awesome. Not only does this save tons of memory, it saves a lot of time for me my graphic designer.
Additionally, using the subtile system reduces the number of pixels that need redrawn when an adjacent tile updates. To clarify, the graphics engine only updates tiles if they have been flagged as out of date, if adjacent tiles are updated, if a new light source is added, etc. Basically the screen is a static image that is only actively updating when it absolutely needs to.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that a viewport that moves with the player is out of the question - it simply saves on draw cycles when the player is not moving or when the viewport is set to be fixed (say, in a house or small cave).
Anyways, what do you think of the aesthetic? I don’t think this is the style I’ll end up going with, but the minimalism is rather pleasant.
