Vis, the mechanic from Milkmaid. Testing out my Surface Pro 4, really like painting on it.
In other news, this week Milkmaid is releasing! Finally! Getting ready for January 5th, hoping that someone out there wants to play this game I’ve been working so hard on. Did I just say hardon? Pardon.
Needed to take a break from marketing and e-mail and managing review copies et cetera. My new Surface Pro 4 arrived, and I took the app “Sketchable” for a spin. This is Queen Amrita from the game, drawing on a bigger screen feels pretty nice!
A little preview poster I painted. Been a while since I did any brushwork, so fun to do a little piece.
Alpha!
Wow! It’s strange, but I’ve managed to complete the major gameplay elements of Milkmaid! Can someone please pat my back?

It’s a major milestone for me, meaning that most of the game has actually been created, painted, animated and coded. I can now play the game from the intro titles all the way to the credits. It feels pretty awesome! Of course there are lots of work left. There are bugs. There are strange things happening to the cameras when you save. There are dialogue lines in rhyme that will make you groan. But it also means that I’m entering another phase where everything I do from now will only make Milkmaid better.
Almost all game and story design questions have been discussed (I’m quite good at arguing with myself) and decided on. From now on, there won’t be many changes. Right now we’re moving houses, so I won’t get to do much work on Milkmaid until late July, probably. Then it’s sound and music work, I’m really looking forward to that.
After that I’m going to do some playtesting and discover bugs and annoyances, and spend the last part of development on fixing these. I’m doing the iOS version first, and hoping there won’t be too much extra work in compiling and fixing the OSX and Win versions. I’m still shooting for a autumn 2016 release if things go smoothly.
And if you want something fresh this summer, try Ruth’s cheese receipe!

Trying to get one scene done per week now, busy with work and life and moving houses. This scene is not quite finished, it needs some refinement. There are just a few more spaceship scenes to design now before I’m headed towards the ending scenes. Looking forward to that!
Milkmaid, preview of a new scene. You can also see some objects in the inventory. I’m keeping the gameplay mechanics quite simple. You click to walk, double-click to run. Click an object to take/interact with it, and drag objects from the inventory onto other things to use them. You can also click on an object in the inventory to examine them. Simple, but seems to work fine, both on computers and on the iPad!
How to ride a hoversled, part I.
Lykke lending a helping hoof :)
