Hayes, racing to keep pace, emerged from the thick jungle canopy. His boots sunk into the dense earth as he approached on the ravine. He stopped to catch his breath a...

No one knows how the humans went from solar panels and fission plants to stellar cruisers and drone ships within such a short time - Rhyzark initially thought it was their replicator batches that were stolen. But the humans have surpassed far more than what they could create in the time allotted.
Rhzyark: "Such a primitive race, let loose on the galaxy - maybe I should have stuck around and put our foot down with the humans?"
Hmm, I wonder how well that would have gone?...
Who do you want to see more of?
I want to keep doing some showcases and devlogs as they aren't taxing, and gives me a sense of achievement (Demo is priority of course though).

I'm going to look at getting a new artist to do a whole species group, that way it saves time, and can at least be internally consistent.
If it doesn't come out well, i'll redo it myself 😅

TLDR: Demo on track for next month. Second demo the month after.
PLEASE if you have time, do me a solid, have a look at the questions at the end, and let me know your thoughts.
Personal blurb
Guys, it's been quite the journey for me.
When I first took this project on, I knew the coding side of things would generally be a piece of cake (apart from some pesky RTS math that's mostly been the ca...

Last major character reveal (for now). Meet Morrigan Quorialis
Yes you heard right, Quorialis.
This is Fel's sister.....
But wasn't Alara destroyed? Or was it? Why do different Sekarri tell different stories.
Why has Fel never mentioned Morrigan?
Mild Spoilers:
Well, Morrigan is the polar opposite of Fel. Instead of compassion, Morrigan is fierce and quick to anger. Like Fel, she is hyper passionate, but highly ambitious and untrusting of others.
Morrigan has had it tough though, ...
First human: She's a ship captain and needs a name
She also needs a backstory.
She is going to be one of your close contacts and allies within the human fleet.
Sometimes you'll serve side by side, others at a distance.
Remember, you are building your own combined alliance - it may occasionally grate against the humans and Sekarri. So she is a friend, maybe partially loyal but not 100% loyal.
Give me your ideas!
2024-06-16 13:55:46 +0000 UTC View PostAmu....this is Amu
That's the final design, colour and poses to come soon.
Amu is the most central character after yourself and Fel.
2024-06-12 21:24:43 +0000 UTC View PostAn old prototype of Fel...before I even knew I was building a game!
Sneak Peak at Evelyn
I might make this one quite detailed with lots of dialogue, explanation of their race, culture etc and bring Cypher and Simon into the mix.
Small Updates:
I've got lineart done for Amu and the special character..,they both look amazing! I'm deciding how I will share, I think its only fair tiered Patreons get first look and free patreons a few days or so after?
My optimising has been too good, the planes in the background are flying a bit too fast...
The Dutchess has her own plans (a refresher as i'm working on new Spider/Mirelixian scenes)
Hey gang, just my rotten luck - I somehow managed to catch the flu a second time. Fortunately I think i'm recovering well, yesterday was brutal though. So hoping i'm over the hump.
I've taken a break from RTS to do a new scene with Evelyn, Cypher and Simon (should be done today then get back to RTS tomorrow). I'll put the video on youtube this week.
Other than that, I managed a huge win, I reduced loading times by 80%!

The Dispersion Divide Chapters 1 & 2
Few notes: I've had some people asking for the full story, so i'll publish a chapter every few days to keep it going! Remember guys, this is a parallel world from the game, so some characters are the same but with variants. Though this gives you a good idea for what kind of story and writing style to expect from the game!

Originally, I had iterated on a bunch of designs.
I thought going straight for tony the tiger colours was a bit on the nose, especially since they are meant to alien.
I wanted to keep the genetic familiarities similar and relatable, but with a twist - that's why Kira is blue, and thats how I made an entire subspecies of Sekarri around it.
In the game it will go much more into detail why that is, their diet, where on the planet they were localised to. And how is it Krit...
As i'm deep in codingville: i'll post some recaps for newer members. I've also got some exciting new content i'll be working on next
Snow's intro got a mixed reaction...for me, it's one of my fav's
I loved the whole banter she has with you. Her voice behaviour isn't because of AI TTL but it's how I designed her cadence, i wanted those pauses and those intonations.
Because I was feeling a bit down...
I went and compared my early screens (such as this) with completed top selling games like I Wanna. Other than FMV cut scenes (which we will have plenty off) - I'd say i'm well on track. A lot of these type games don't even have talking animations, and very few pose va...

In other news,
RTS
Yesterday I think i finally finished core elements of the RTS.
The remaining hard job is to manage collisions and path finding then make the AI competent at 5 difficulty levels - at the moment i have some stand in logic....time to fix that.
Plot
I finished writing the preliminary scene for right in the middle of the game; an epic struggle and adventure that i'll use for trailer in demo 2 or 3. I legit a...

Back then she was still a digital assistant I might release that app as well just for the fun of it.
It was kind of silly, she'd quiz you on history, what you did the other day etc to keep your brain fresh.
Felt very 1990s in terms of interactivity...but there was a certain charm to the app.
2024-05-30 06:08:26 +0000 UTC View PostAbout me...and the game.
So, I thought i'd go with something a bit different today and finally give a background on who I am and the story about how this game came to be.
I'll also finish with a few small updates.

I don't want to bore you too much with my story, but here are the basics. I've been working with AI for 20 years. I'm also a linguist, I speak 7 languages and translator in 3. I'm at the to...
