Insektum

October Progress Update

Added 2024-10-16 22:12:48 +0000 UTC

Hello, so far this month I've been mostly working on technical items such as unifying/improving UI elements, improving the save system, and setting up proper version control. These things are admittedly quite boring but as mentioned in previous posts, I want to release a free public demo soon and have some technical debt that needs paying off first.

As for the next creature, he's coming along and the 3D modelling has been completed. Here's how he's looking currently: Texturing has also begun and once that's completed I can begin the rigging process. In keeping with my very unoriginal naming scheme of using romaji, this species will be called an Inoru Mantis.

While I have some more work to do on the technical side of things, my other main task to be completed this month is actually explaining some of the game's mechanics in game. Previously I haven't bothered explaining much in game due to things possibly changing however I need to start working on an actual "tutorial" of sorts. Likewise I've decided on the game's real title and basic plot and will be talking about that more when the public demo releases.

Currently my plan is to release the next build just before the end of the month and hopefully get some feedback. Then about a week later I'll release the free public demo with some of that feedback incorporated into it. After that progress will continue and new builds will only be released for supporters as before until the game is completed.

Anyways, expect the next build in about two weeks from now, thank you.
