Rainshade • October 2020 Progress Report

Added 2020-11-01 04:38:12 +0000 UTC

HAPPY HALLOW'S WEEN!

As expected, surgery did a real number on my dev output, but I'm glad to say I'm recovering smoothly, and it's been quite an experience. Did you know it's not uncommon to have massive black eyes and blood vessel popping in your eyes if you get surgery in any part of your face? I didn't, and thank god I was attended by someone who pointed that out before I noticed I that going on!

In any event, while I was out of commission for those two weeks, I had a lot of time to think, and a lot of time to write. The outline of Rainshade's story got overhauled significantly, and everything is falling very neatly into place, in terms of both lore and events. The demo is finally fully planned out, which was SHOCKINGLY hard to figure out — I wanted to ensure players got a good taste of what the game has to offer, without making the demo too long. Unfortunately, some previously discussed/planned features will need to be cut, but I'm still incredibly excited for what's to come.

Unfortunately, the above work in progress feature (text messages) is all I can show for now! Most of the work was back-end (as mentioned above), or INCREDIBLY spoiler-heavy. Development is now entirely focused on content that'll be in the demo, though, so I'll hopefully be able to share a lot more soon! And, god willing, it'll be released in the next few months!

Thank you all so much for your continued support! We're all working real hard to make this a happen, and it wouldn't be possibly without you!
