Chronicling Our Progress

Good evening, vampire hunters.

We have exciting news to share with you; Anthony Cronander is back on the squad!!! He's super excited to help out once more and cannot wait to show you guys what he is stirring up in between his romantic hiking trips and busy schedule. :D

For the time being, let's take a look at a skeleton key he fashioned to help Frederick unlock a door that one might conveniently find in an enchanted swamp. It's unfortunately out of reach for an average mortal, but once he takes the form of a mimic, he'll leap to extraordinary heights. It will allow him to not only find shortcuts, but quickly escape . Be careful. Coins that bear the likeness of the Dark Lord will only reappear when you turn back on the area so once you're stuck, you might as well return to square one. *shudders.*

Sidiyq Qadim, KawaiiPixelArts, Chubbo, and The.Pixel.Junky have also been assigned their respective projects to help prepare for the holiday seasons ahead in addition to upcoming content for The Heliotrope Chronicles and Michaela's story arc; Son of a Hustler. The development process for the latter will begin as soon as the demo for our new engine is completely fleshed out. But before we go wild, I first need to flesh out this seashell. 😅

Stay tuned for next week when I showcase two shocking, out-of-this-world storyline ideas I improvised on vacation when I discovered Cronix went above and beyond by giving Michaela and Treyton monstrous forms. What can I say? After a while, I learned to expect the unexpected from this imaginative dude.

Have a good weekend,

Going Wild with Art for the Summer

Good evening, vampire hunters.

Our artists have been busy bees lately. Cronix has just been given a long-term project to keep him occupied for summer's second leg (His own endeavors also take up some of his space. Have you seen his fanart for another fantasy game? It's stunning. :D), Sidiyq Qadim is tirelessly forging new weapons for our heroes and their enemies alike, and Chubbo is currently carving two ancient statues to decorate the Leafgroove Mountains as millennial adventurers from the magical sector recognize it. Long before Treyton's untimely visit, it was once a vibrant dwarven settlement. Outsiders were mostly welcomed with open arms and help during times of need were greatly appreciated as we'll soon see when Frederick and Eforie make a detour of their own. Unfortunately, heavy fighting during Humanity’s Abnegation had ravaged the settlement and some if not most of the surviving dwarfs have moved deeper underground. Those that remained behind guard their former home with their lives to prevent their remaining relics from being looted or destroyed. What preservationist wouldn't blame them?

An old amateurish animation I created in Autodesk Maya during my senior year in high school will soon be getting a 2D remake. Its storyline will remain the same, but it will be revised to feature Vlad Tepes's failed attempt to invade London in the 21st century and how three bystanders bravely helped Frederick, Eforie, and Abiataka thwart it. I've decided to try something by requesting KawaiiPixelArts to begin designing characters for a change and she started off with Esther, one such bystander whose best friend was abducted by the seductive Lucy Westerna. KawaiiPixelArts did such a beautiful job capturing Esther's innocence and beauty in her one-of-a-kind style that I decided to assign her with designing the remaining two bystanders next month. So brace yourselves for an imminent cuteness overload when she crosses that bridge. ^_^

As for me, I got back to work on a demo I started producing in Game Maker Studio last summer and it's looking promising. I've always wanted to develop a video game using real-world photos as backgrounds for the levels. I believe it will be an innovative way for the team to integrate fascinating world of photography into gaming and encourage our audience to educate themselves about our Spaceship Earth as well as interpret it through their own eyes. If all goes well, and that's a big "if" assuming boss battles can be implemented with this engine, I will be pleased to tell you this will be where we'll be producing future installments for Heliotrope Journey from that point forward. :)

Enjoy this preview of what we've got so far and have a good weekend.
