HARUKA DEV REPORT #5

A lot of stuff has been done since the last report, it's a long list so I'm gonna save it but you can check the video to see some of them (the HUD, parallax mapping, save point...)

I'm planning to release a Test Build this month with the first level. (only for supporters and patrons)
Stay tune!

Regards.

HARUKA DEV REPORT #4

OK, after a lot of changes here is the final Haruka design. (Does anyone want to hug her? <3 )

On the other hand I've finished a prototype for the first level and after a lot of testing with Meguido I discovered that it needs much more work (I don't know if I'm rusty or simply is not my type of game XD).
In any case, just as I expected, development advances too slowly.

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 3/4/2025

Hello everyone!

I should just copy-paste the first few lines of the past report, since it’s what I wanted to say XD but I’ll directly talk Bioasshard thing.

If nothing goes wrong (I won’t say otherwise), this month characters should get finally finished. Updating on the %progress I threw in the last report, I’d say it’s around 87% now. Some clothes, textures and corrective fixes are what’s left to being done with ...

HARUKA DEV REPORT #3

All puzzle mechanics are ready!

Here is an example: you have to advance in the right order, otherwise you will return to the starting point.

Regards.

-Mr. Versus X

HARUKA DEV REPORT #2

Blocking for the 6 levels is done. I have not started with the graphic section yet because I want to implement the puzzles first, just in case I need to modify the mapping during the process. Fixing any problem in this way will be easier than with the final graphics.

Also, as can be seen in the image, Haruka has suffered a redesign (more about this in a future post) and this is its final charset.


Regards.

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 1/31/2025

Hello everyone!

Time for a new report.

It’s been a long time since the last one. It’s been somewhat hard weeks, but we’re finally getting into the flow again (well, Mr.Versus is ahead of me because he’s even working on other projects as well 😅).

Well, to the good news- A lot of progress has been made for all the characters. All of them passed the harder phases, so what’s left for them is just boring...

HARUKA DEV REPORT #1

Playing with boxes. (the graphics are placeholders, ignore them),

Just working on some gameplay mechanics to create puzzles.


Regards.

-Mr. Versus X

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello everyone, happy new year,

Mr. Versus X over here. I don't know how long it's been since my last post; the truth is that this past year has been quite bad for me for different reasons that I'm not going to go into, but the good thing about hitting rock bottom is that you can't go any lower and plus you can push yourself to stay afloat again XD. Luckily, as I turned into a shapeless mass of uselessness, a small part of me decided that perhaps it was a better idea to keep working and...

MERRY CHRISTMAS & BIOASSHARD UPDATE 12/25/2024

Hello everyone!

We didn't want to miss the opportunity to wish you all Merry Christmas!

And as a small gift, we want to unveil a new character joining Bioasshard 😉 (this one could be expected tho as she already appeared in the Failed Experiment comic we released some time ago).

Now, just like we've been doing, it's time to ask for your input on name ideas for her 😋. Leave your suggestions down below �...

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 12/13/2024

Hello everyone!

Back again to make a brief status update

I’d have like to make an update before but that has been impossible.

We usually never let this kind of stuff to get in our way, but this time was unavoidable. And it is because I had my dad in the hospital. He went for a one-day surgery but things complicated and he finally got back home yesterday. From returning home in the same day to spending weeks in there.
As you can imagine, I had almost no time to...

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 11/20/2024

Hello everyone!

Time for a new report.

I’m trying to progress on all the characters at once, because we’d like to have them finished first, so we can totally focus on just making the game instead of having to go back and forth.
And this is why, the reports are being so sparse lately, because it’s taking too much time to get this done and there’s nothing really fancy to show or talk about 😥. Not even mentioning the countless pr...

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 10/11/2024

Hello everyone, Meguido here!

Back again with an update on the development.

This time, I had an idea regarding the reduction on customizing options for characters mentioned in the previous report and wanted to show you the result of that idea, unfortunately I couldn't manage to get it finished yet, so instead, I'll give you a small glimpse of another character joining the roster 😉

Now, just like we previously did, 2024-10-11 16:16:31 +0000 UTC View Post

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 9/19/2024

Hello everyone, Meguido here!

As I mentioned in the previous report, here I want to talk about the new workflow for the characters to be added in.

Previously, to get a character up and running in UE4, it was just a matter of getting the FBX out of the DCC (Daz, Maya, Blender, whatever) and into UE4 with no other tasks. Now with the update to UE5, one of the things I wanted to take advantage of was the ML deformer tech to implement corrective shapes for better deformations 😉.<...

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 9/10/2024

Hello everyone, Meguido here!

Sorry for the radio silence lately. 😌

We've been very busy working on the office (specially Mr. Versus) and on Bioasshard. And since Mr. Versus was as busy as to not being able to get on his PC, we couldn't publish any report up until now 😫.

On the Bioasshard side, all the characters are designed by now 😊 and I'm in the process of getting them up on UE5, which is a lot longer process than befo...

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 8/23/2024

Hello everyone, Meguido here!

Here's the promised sneak peak for one of the male characters.

Hope you like it and before I get back to work, we'd like that you take this chance to suggest a name for this 'VR trained agent'.

Let's see how you think this character should be called 😏 (you know, similar to the original name but without it being the same 😁)

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 8/10/2024

Hello everyone, Meguido here!

Back here again after the poll ended and I must say we're surprised with some of the results 😋.

First of all, the most important mission, which is the 12, the last one, that includes a link to the game itself, is the second one with less votes, meaning is the second one less completed. So the majority of you haven't seen the "game over"/ending scene 😭 with the credits and all.

And secondly, it's funny to see that the Mission 5, th...

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 7/26/2024

Hello everyone, Meguido here!

Today we wanted to ask you something 😊. So, please, take the time to answer this small poll.

In the meantime we're still working on the conversion of all the VFX (wish I could understand better the Niagara system for a faster conversion).

On the other hand, this character is giving me some headaches 😂. Hope the next time I can show her in a 'better' shape 😙

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 7/16/2024

Hello everyone, Meguido here!

Good news on the Enhanced Input conversion process.

I finally finished reimplementing everything related to the inputs as it was before, yay!

The last part of it was making the remapping keys option for the player to work again (this became totally unusable because it heavily based its old behavior in the use of the deprecated Input/Axis Mappings System).

The next step is to convert all -glup- the Cascade pa...

BIOASSHARD UPDATE 7/8/2024

Hello everyone, Meguido here!

I'm still fighting with Enhanced Input System (and it's proving to be a lot worse than the old Action/Axis Inputs system, at least for this use-case).

But also working in other areas, like new characters.

Take a look at this small sneak peak (or DON'T if you don't want to 'ruin' surprises) and see you in the next update!

Important Notice + Bioasshard DevReport

Hello everyone!

It’s been a long time since the last post and we apologize for that. We’ve been (and are) busy as hell not only with Bioasshard but with other stuff as well, like setting the office up and ready for work (which is almost complete; at about 95% right now).

There are a few key points we’d like to talk about on this post, so let’s begin:

First thing first, if you know/fol...
