March Progress Report (Almost There...)
Added 2021-03-18 21:59:07 +0000 UTCWe're in the final bug fixing and polishing stage of development of the Battle Gem Ponies Combat Demo! This little PvE prototype shows off the basic mechanics of the game and gives players a taste of the gameplay we want to deliver.
Right now it's a matter of resolving a few game-breaking glitches and squeezing in as many attack animations as possible. And by the looks of things it shouldn't take longer than a week from now to finish. Beyond that there's a lot of videos we need to produce to help spread the word, so it's down to the wire in terms of the March work schedule. We just really need to get this done so we can focus on the Overworld half of the game in April to make the upcoming Kickstarter demo a real nice vertical slice.
All these delays come from us being a team of perfectionists wanting to make a good first impression after the years of murmuring about progress from the shadows.
But May is quickly approaching and we need to gather an audience immediately if we wanna stand a chance. We'll be uploading tons of videos in April to build hype and hopefully game the algorithm enough to get this game a decent following.
All our hopes and dreams depend on this Kickstarter going well, so we're going all in on this and getting the grand vision of this pony RPG across as clear as can be.
By the end of this month there will finally be a Combat Demo for everyone to play.
See you over on our YouTube Channel real soon!
