Development Update!

Our updates have been inconsistant lately, however, our progress is ongoing quite smoothly!

In the past two months, we've been doing 2-3 days long sessions, which gave us the opportunity to make a lot of progress. Here's a partial list of what we did:

With new tools to progress with, and giving more shape to the tale and machanisms, we're excited to finally get back to the linear progress in the tale. Thank you for keeping up with us!

A long awaited update

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

During the last few months, university has effectively prevented us from updating, but we haven’t stopped working! So, here are few of our accomplished tasks from that time frame:

With this, we’re ready to move forward with production. We are as excited as ever about this project, and will be bringing you guys further updates as it goes.

Hello everyone! This is a big day for us, as we are releasing our FIRST EVER teaser trailer! This has us very excited, as it’s our first major step in marketing. As you can see, we’ve announced a 2018 release year, and are hoping for a productive and exciting year of development. Video edited by Guy Marraton https://twitter.com/omknee

Another week, another update! Keeping you guys informed on our work is our goal, so without further ado:

This week we’ve progressed on puzzle design. Some old puzzles needed re-design prior to implementation, and now that that’s done we will be building them in the engine.

The current arc is more visually pleasing than the previous ones. That being said, graphical overhauls will be done once puzzles and cutscenes are complete.

In addition to that, we have a surprise for you guys coming sometime in the coming couple of weeks, so keep an eye out for that! It has us very excited, and hope you will like it as much as we do!

Thanks to everyone who follows us so early on, your support keep us motivated!

Hello, dear followers! Time for a semi- weekly progress update. More under the cut.

This week we’ve proceeded further into the second arc of the game. Two new puzzles were implemented, along with their mechanics and resources, and we are happy with the results! This second arc will be very visually appealing, and more mechanically engaging, as new main mechanics are introduced and explored in every arc.

Alongside this, we’re fine-tuning details in previous parts of the game, to have them match the standard of the later parts. Our skill as game devs improves as we progress, so this is bound to happen. Going back to improve on our work will allow the game to be more complete, and as engaging in the first parts as in the later parts.

We’ll leave you with a GIF of one mechanic we love in the new area, rain! Until next week!

Hello, everyone!

As we’re progressing further into development, we thought we’d give you guys some updates. This is something we’ll do every one or two weeks, to keep you informed. More under the cut.

This last month we began building the second out of three arcs in the game. This required some engine work for this level’s main mechanic. Now that we have that, we can proceed into the level itself.

This level will be our main focus for the next few months. As we’re working chronologically, we’re also testing the previous parts of the game. Some of our early testers are already giving us excellent feedback to work with, and it’s giving us a lot of motivation going forward.

That is it for today, stay tuned for more information very soon!
