GUIDANCE Monthly July Devlog! #ScreenshotSaturday

(I promise it was worth the wait)


Well, hopefully anyways.

I hope you'll forgive me for putting off the devlog, but I wanted interesting stuff to tell you, unlike the last couple times.

Let's be honest, at this point your face probably looks something like this, and mine does too :

Since the last time we spoke there have been several new cutscenes and maps, all of which I am very happy with!

Development is also picking up speed and I'm looking forward to continuing production, and can see pretty clearly the next few steps as I keep moving forward with development.

There has also been a major cannon story change with one of the plot elements. This change only affects how the game will be made going forward and things already finished shouldn't have to be changed much, but I may do some tweaking to better reflect this. This change is more thematic than anything else and shouldn't affect any theories. It is also more of a sub-plot, though it definitely plays into the larger themes in the story, and obviously, the central conflict within the main character.

Of course, for a new area and new cutscenes, you need new music and graphics! Here are a few.

Emma's looking pretty cool, as usual! ^.^

Nice toy train huh?

The background used in the main post is also a new background within the game.

Anyways, I may upload one of the new songs to soundcloud if you like. I'm also going to upload a "scrapped" track. I put "scrapped" in quotation marks since it still might get used in the actual game, who knows. There's a few of these.

You can find one of them here : https://soundcloud.com/luke-lcs/sewers-scrapped-guidance

The main reason it wasn't used is because it didn't have the tone I was going for. Sometimes I end up starting a song a few times before finding something I'm happy with, but sometimes I don't, it really depends. I don't delete the other things I made though, even if they're of slightly lesser quality.

Aside from that, there isn't too much to share, but the majority of this work has been done in just the past week, which is a big deal, since it means things are finally picking up again. Like, for real this time!

Thankyou for being patient, and I hope you're looking forward to the release of the final game as much as I am, as far away as that might still be.

You have a good one now! ^.^

"It wasn't so bad..." ^.^

Mostly just focused on the vibes of the scene, so nothings too detailed. I think mood is probably my artistic strength.

I know I already said it but EP 3 is soo good! Some really great insight into the other characters too!

I'm waiting on something to be approved before I can make the post I had planned for today.

In the meantime, have this Golem Lord re-design teaser

#IndieWednesday

Boss battle on mobile device (prototype)

So far this is only a test, in the future it will be finalized.

I don't think it's much of a spoiler- but if any of you were wondering what bubble said-

here ya go! XD

Playing around with some creature designs

The Gnome Gang has been tormenting the inhabitants of the Toscana since the world went into the eternal night. They are chaotic, annoying and mildly dangerous. Probably a tiny bit more of a threat now that they have learned how to make bombs.

Been replaying/continuing my save of Nier Automata, gonna try to go for all the quests at least, as well as all major endings (something I don't usually do)

Thought this fight was really cool, and figured I'd share it! Lemme know if you enjoyed it ^.^
