On a related note, here's the portrait and 3D model of Haru that I made myself in 2014...

... versus the current assets commissioned from actual artists 😁

Super Night Riders S1 (Season One)

I've made up my mind for what next for the Night Riders series.

I'll actually be making 2 games: S1 and S2.

S1 will be a remake of the original Super Night Riders - playing as Alice in the 6 original locations.

But as a remake, it will feature improved graphics, gameplay, game modes and balancing.

For instance, I'm planning a versus rival mode where you'd compete against either an AI or a friend in split-screen!

S2 will be a proper sequel including all the improvements from S1, but featuring 100% new content - playing as Yoko in 6 new locations.

So, I've been mostly working on S1 this month. Here's the new model of Alice.

And here's a few screenshots.

Please note that these are still very early work-in-progress, but you can already see some improvements such as the new red-rider model, better lighting, reflections, a few improved assets etc.

Bonus

Here's the cover I'm planning to use for Super Night Riders S1.

It's the same artwork as the original, but with a different expression.

Actually, this is the original illustration from the artist. The different expression in the old Super Night Riders was edited by me.

What's Next?

Next month, I'm planning to get the Steam page of Super Night Riders S1 up.

The release will probably be around Q2 2022 via Early Access.

I'm also planning a playable demo for Q1 2022.

Nintendo Switch

I've finally ordered a Nintendo Switch devkit!

Should receive it sometimes next month, and then start experimenting a bit before deciding what I should port first - probably Light Fairytale Episode 1 if no major issues are found.

That's it!

As always, thank you so much for your continuous support. See you next month 😉
