Post # 58 - The Hard Start

Hello, my dear friends!
Need to say that this January was a non-stop hard time for me.
Some problems in the family and some problems with health then.
As a result, I have not made an update in time as I planned.
But please, no need to worry now, all seems much better now. Just my big thanks for your kind support!
I wish to say the obvious thing, but please, continue to keep in mind that health and the family are things that are impossible to overestimate.
As hard times look ...

POST # 54 - Glorification v.1.01 (demo build)

Finally the day have come.

First I wished to collect quantity of working hours of every involved in this project, and estimate how many lines of code and so on, and after that became some epic number, to show it with inner proud of secret masochist...

But you know what? I don't give a damn about this!

And I will be proud only if that brings you fun and joy.

Feel free to share with me what was good on your opinion and what you wished to be different or improved.

POST # 53 - Next stop - the game!

So let the fights commence! Let the battle begin! Let the fun of violence and survival come!

Our next post will be about Releasing Demo. Finally!

I know how long that road was for all of us and, of course, my endless apologies that it was so long and winding. But we just tried to do our work as best we can.

There is still much that we have planned that will not be shown in the demo. This will just be a taste of what is to come!

I also truly believe that after releasing...

POST # 50 - Mapsploitation!

Dear friends, this is the last post about mapsploitation. I swear!

I just really wished to share our small achievements.

Here are the couple of them:

1) "You know the day destroys the night, and night divides the day"

Yeah, right, exactly, we are going to have day and night changes of time in our game. That should be easy to do for our programmer Arkady (because I believe that he is half-robot) .

2) "Come on baby, light my fire"

Yes, we already implemented ...

POST # 49 - Our Town (part 4)

The day has come!

No, not that day, not the day of release of Demo yet, not now. 

But the other day!

The day of almost-finished Global Map!

I know that you're probably already tired of seeing our town in all its details for several posts and you are probably curious about  what is inside of it, inside the Strip Club, or inside of the Arena, am I right? I know, I know and I kindly ask for your kind patience again. 

But please, let me share with you ...

POST # 47 - Our Town (part 2)

As it was mentioned before, I love hard sci-fi. And our Lead artist too. And our programmer too and supporting concept-artist also loves it, I am sure about that! Probably our second artist and sound-master are hard fans of hard sci-fi too, but need to find out.

So, if you feel warmer in your heart after the mention of “hard sci-fi”, this post is for you. If not, just scroll on! I promise to share some hot content right after this bit of detailed stuff. But for now please let me sha...

POST # 46 - Our Town

Hello again, my dear friends! First of all let me offer my sincere apologies for so few posts this month. Yeah, that sucks, but let me explain: they were so rare because I had to go back to my office job to earn more money to invest in the development of our game. So, my return to the office job is only a temporary sacrifice which I am happy to do in order to make "Glorification" release as soon as possible!

Well, let me share some good news too! Here I am proud to present the evolution...

POST # 43 - Locations (training yard)

Next will be a place of training, where your sweat will be mixed with blood and sand! 

Usually trainers say "The more sweat you spill on the floor, the less blood you will spill on arena." 

But we aren't sure about that. Ha-ha!

POST # 42 - Locations (medic)

Our next stop - the Medic. Because his location looks interesting. 

Why? Well, let me say that he will have an extremely sexy nurse assistant for you to catch a glimpse of when she comes in from her room.

POST # 41 - Locations (trader)

As you know, locations are important! 

Someone cool said that "The location is the backbone of a game." I'm not sure who said this, maybe it was even me. Ha-ha!

So we decided to dedicate next several Posts to Locations and their evolution. As it's a game about fighting, the first location will be that of the Weapons Trader.

  Here how the Trader's evolution happened:&...

POST # 40 - Creating Titiana

I am always happy to share with you the details about creation-characters process.
Here how we created Titiana, owner of striptease-club: 

POST # 39 - What is better?

what version of Jana you like more? 

POST with no number (cross-promotion)

I have a dream. 

I have a dream that one day... the success of my Patreon page will be comparable with the SadCrab team, who are benchmark for me in so many ways. I'm talking about these awesome guys:

“Good time of the day to all those who keep a stash of tissues next to them! I am Captain Sad Crab, and with our crew I would like to invite you for an adventure to the s...

POST # 38 - Gameplay Trailer

Our Programmer is still polishing our Fighting System, but it will be nice and have some innovative features!

While he's working, I collected some clips from his game tests and we made something that looks like a trailer to share with you how the gameplay will look. Share your opinion here, or in the Discord group!

POST # 37 - Creating Intro

We need to share some details on the creation of this intro clip. The voice behind the video belongs to the manager of the gladiator's team. We planned him as a former gladiator, one who has seen it all in the arena and survived because of his skill at treachery and deception more than his fighting skills, and who enjoys his privileged position now. He is an absolute sadistic ass, as you can easily tell by his manner of speaking. Maybe an ideal manager for the world of Glorification? LOL!

POST # 36 - Intro

Actually, we didn't plan to show this because we intended to demonstrate gameplay - blood, fire effects, and how fights in the arena happen.

But, the gods of the arena gave us a sudden and unexpected technical task. Which means about two more weeks of work for our Programmer.

So, we decided to share some material that was ready a while ago. We had planned to show it in combination with some gameplay, but there's no time like the present, right?

Okay, enough talk - here it is...

POST # 35 - Let's see that!

Finally that day has come!

We are happy to make announcement about how fighting process will happens and what the game will be look alike. 

The details will follow within one week!

Yay! 

POST # 30 - About the Evolution of our UI

Evolution... You will see that word often here, because our ideas are transforming and, very often, improving. And we continue that process until the final satisfaction at the final destination of each idea. 

Should I say that I saw about a dozen of versions before choosing the one which we will implement in the final game? 

Anyway, let me share with you with the evolution of concepts for our UI.

By the way, which version you prefer more - with or without lighting ...

POST # 29 - The Fighting Process

Here two simple facts about our fighting process: 1) we are rewriting the whole concept of fighting process for the third time now (yeah, the whole evolution) and, 2) we are re-coding from scratch for about seventh time by now, in order obtain the best result.

Why is it so hard? Let me explain this evolution step by step: 

First our concept was turn-based fighting. That was the most simple to make, but it wasn't too smooth and exiting and not “mind-exploding” enough, LOL....

POST # 28 - In Search of Close Ideal

April brings good news but new challenges too. 

We have been working hard, but still not ready to upload our Prototype right now. I have been silent for the whole month of April because I planned instead of promises to show you the final result and I was sure that we could do that in April, but we still need a few more weeks. 

Yeah, yeah, I know that one playable Prototype is better than 100 text posts, right?

So because of the delay, I will share with you why it's...

POST # 27 - Our March Marathon

POST # 12 - FIGHTING PROCESS

What can make fighting process more cool and impressing? 

Slow-mo? Epic intros of fighters before match? Fireworks by arena's perimeter? Numerous lights and projectors? Maybe roars of cruel crowd of watchers who came to enjoy bloody show? Yeah, all that too, and also cinematographic moments of palms, arms, heads and legs cut-offs, pleading for mercy from those who losing and smirks or taunts from those who winning.

But most impressing thing should be the co...

POST # 2 - WEAPONS

I'm a fan of cool-looking cold weapons.

So while creating this game I decided to make them brutal and sometimes creative looking.

As mentioned before, we plan to have 104 types of cold weapons, and about the first 30 are already done.

One-handed, two-handed, throwing, spears, big shields, small shields, daggers - I want them all and we just need time for the artists and animators .

Each will have its own weight and abilities, strong and weak sides, a...
