Okay, no update on this project for a minute because been working on an update for an older game and it takes a lot longer than I hoped. But its nearly complete so I have been returning to this. I have been working on scheduling more than anything. After preproduction and then actually doing production task for awhile,…
Okay so a lot of things done. I made schedule for 70 hours per character but I have finished the last three in about 12 hours or less. This is first draft of characters and not including animations, but nonetheless it seems like this art style is certainly a lot faster. A lot less technical things to think about so more…
Pay to play, if we keep up with the model of how things are going the micro-transaction game in a different way... is what i see/mean.That is why backing up all the old stuff is imperative and why they are attacking sources that do just that, so you have no options. Not to quickly reply or anything i just got to get ahead…
Okay, no new art, but some thoughts about marketing that might be something to think about even for other artist if they are thinking about how to market themselves with portfolio. So I will start making some youtube devlogs because the common advice is to get started with marketing as soon as possible. Since the game…
gonna go through with pitch deck and vertical slice demo. I just design the pitchdeck so what art I make for it can be reused. Begun a 2d artwork that will be kind of like a movie poster with a bunch of characters and enemies on it. Today I settled on the composition and color and started blocking in. its a big painting so…
I'm still not finished with my current game project, but I took a break from it for nearly two months to prototype some ideas for next project. The main problem I want to get around is that there is too much work for a solo developer. How can I make smaller games? But it still has to be something I want to play and am…
Project review: Getting close to six month review. I make a full review after completing my next milestone but a few short notes might be worth sharing here. In previous six months I have:* completed prototype, which tested out a few combat mechanics and discarded many ideas to focus on a focused ranged-only design *…
https://youtu.be/mdCZePVvFRk* Integrated two new satyrs. * added combat movement (crawl, duck, dive) to help in dealing with enemy archers. I couldn't find any reference for the dive animation so just made it up from memory of army times. It's fine for now, makes the gameplay work how I want. Naturally, most of these…
The main problem I want to get around is that there is too much work for a solo developer. How can I make smaller games? (…I'd assumed was rhetorical?!) However TBH, I think it's all relative. Basically in my opnion probably determined by ones character traits/workethic i.e. what might be a personally reasonable investment…
@Fabi_G wow! thank you so much. you ever have that feeling like you know you have forgotten something but aren't sure what it was? That's how I felt about these illustrations. Like they were close to what I wanted but not quite sure how to bring it all together. Your examples make them feel completed rather than abstract…
