Hey guys! I don't have too much to say that I don't say in the next section, so let's just get straight into it!

GENERAL STUFF

I wanted to take this time to say thank you so much for 1000 followers here on gamejolt!!! Along with 2K on youtube as well the last devlog really helped push the project, and me and the rest of the team want to thank everyone who’s supported the project recently!! I didn’t have anything set up in advance for this, so I’ll just post a couple of misc assets for the game!!!

SPRITING:

Over the last month, forrest has continued to work on character sprites, and along with this we now have some new reworks for Kris and Susie!

ART:

Also over the past month, more work has been done on the swamps, and we now have a new mini redesign/ref sheet for Illumoth!

WRITING:

Writing has had massive leaps in the past month as the events/plot for the majority of ch1 are complete! Along with this, there’s been a decision in the team to extend a section of the game to better flesh out the story we want to tell! This means that pretty much 80-85% of specific events are completely made beat-for-beat (not including dialogue although it does include direction for cutscenes) for the entirety of ch1! Though I can’t show much at all since it will spoil later, I can show a bit of plot plans, (censored a lot for both area and story reasons) along with dialogue from the gonermaker sequence that has also been written!

CODING:

There’s been some visual improvements since the battle video dropped, alongside some balancing on the attacks to make them more fun:

Along with this, cutscene works continue to keep going!

MUSIC:

Nearly all music for the demo is complete, so progress has moved over to the rest of the game! New soundtrack upload dropping alongside this devlog!

[Soundcloud upload will be avaliable eventually]

CLOSER:

Sorry for taking longer than usual for this devlog to come out! Development has definitely slowed a little but it is by no means cancelled, Thank you once again for 1K followers, and Merry Christmas soon to everyone reading!
