Studio's Life
I've opened a (very) small blog on neko.works where I plan to talk about my projects, but also about the things I like.
Here's one post example: A selection of the best fanarts from the Light Fairytale series: neko.works/index.php?article=52
Light Fairytale Episode 3
Still working on the first dungeon: The Facility.
Vending machines π
The main puzzle in this dungeon: Opening the elevator door.
Deja vu? π€
Angel?!
Kuroko's explosive return π
Work have started for the key artwork of this episode. It will be used as the cover of the game.
Here's a couple drafts. I've selected the left one.
A couple female NPC designs for the Capital. The 3D models are in the work.
Bonus
A couple auto-fanart of Kuroko and the mysterious girl from the Light Fairytale series in a semi-realistic style.
Available in 4K in the downloads bellow.
Dark Fairytale
Here's the final 3D models of Rachel and her Doll. The female protagonist in Dark Fairytale - a story-driven action / shoot'em up set in a dark steampunk world. Currently still in concept / prototype stage.
Also available in 4K in the downloads bellow.
What's Next
Next month I'll turn 40 π
Other than this trivial thing, I'll focus on Light Fairytale Episode 3.
Working again on these first 45mn trying to finalize this part, as it's missing a few events and battles.
I should receive the final key artwork, so I'll publish the Steam page to start gathering wishlists.
I also would like to make a teaser trailer, but I'm waiting for the finalization of a new Anime cut - so maybe in November/December.
That's it for this month!
Thank you so much for your support. See you next time π
Comments
Feeling old π Yep, I've been making games since around 9 years. Unfortunately I've lost a lot of time in the past studying things I shouldn't have - for instance medical studies for 2 years. I've also worked as a web developer in Paris. About the physical, I think it's better this way. It's true that Episode 1 is a bit pricey due to the artbook and soundtrack. But we're now planning Episode 2 in a standard edition at $20. Releasing the whole series - 4 episodes in a single physical doesn't make sense in term of pricing as the digital equivalent is $40 - without the production cost and publisher part - so it would get too expensive. Also, I think it's better for collectors as each episode have a nice exclusive cover etc.

2022-09-28 22:19:20 +0000 UTCOkay, the 'turning 40 next month' part caught me by surprise! :D it doesn't really mean anything, as you said, but for whatever reason I had a totally different age in my head xD Not really criticism, just out of curiosity: why not wait until every episode is out before releasing a physical version?
