The Plot Thickens aka August 2023 Development Update
Added 2023-09-01 10:33:19 +0000 UTCHello dear Saregnarians!
After a scorching hot summer, hailstorms, floods, and the usual apocalyptic weather, nicer, cooler days are upon us.
Apart from taking a short summer break, the past weeks were spent 90% on writing. Specifically, the main storyline around Chapter One. Continuing, I will primarily focus on story content production and do the occasional scripting support to influence the game world within the Ink story language.
Distant mountains, hills, and forests
In between all that, I made a few graphical changes, too. The most visible are certainly the mountains in the distance.
The four layers I use to display the distant scenery, kind of like a skybox. Showing above, before and after.
Here's how it looks in the game. Quite the view, eh? π³π
Note that each major area in the game will have a different scenery. Can't have mountains all around when traveling down the Kingdom coast, can we?
Looking for Publishing
It is no major secret that we've been looking to strike a publishing deal for some time now. So far, we've been approached and have approached several, but we have yet to come together. Going into full-time development is the point of it all, which would shorten the dev time and bring in all sorts of goodies in the form of marketing, QA, porting, localization, etc.
Rest assured that we will keep you up-to-date on any new developments regarding future publishing deals. You certainly should be the first to know.
Lastly, let me express once again that we are most grateful for your continued support. Your donations here on Patreon are like fresh oil to a well-tuned machine.π
Thank you all. π
Love,
Rhuantavan
