But it's still news!
I decided I wanted to focus on the Roxy's universe itself as of the time being, less on the production of the game. Expand and explore a universe that I made and love to this day. To me it's more than just "the game", it's a world that has its own charm, lore, characters, atmosphere. More on that later.
No progress has been made with the game recently. I know that sounds like raw disappointing information but I thought I'd say it. It's mainly due to a workflow I set up that backlashed more than anything, that disappointed me, which made me go through some self doubting times, and blocked me from doing anything productive. I'm still taking a break from that to stand up from that, but it's on the right tracks.
It's actually silly, I just need a declick and stuff would be back on track. Well, the question is how.
Nonetheless being someone who cannot go 24 hours without really creating anything, I decided to tackle the situation differently, I focused on other things, which you might also enjoy discovering:
I made a live build testing system for games that manages access control to beta builds, teams integration, stats, real time session manipulation, etc
I tried clay modeling for the first time and made a project from start to finish! I really loved the outcomes and I will do that again in the future!
I remade a specific song in the most accurate way possible (tediously digging up sample libraries, remaking and mixing by ear), which is more or less a childhood dream coming true
I made a bunch of soundtracks for an "imaginary game" (that will probably never end up anywhere but was a cute concept) in the style of Machinarium
I'm on the final stages of releasing my first ever album that has been in the works for over 2 years! It's chill, electric, lofi style music (the usual ddemkoo style). I really hope you're going to like it!
Maybe some silly spin-off game, featuring Truddy, laundry, and a LOT OF CATS
And most importantly I teamed up with new people specializing in songwriting for collaboration for some Roxy's related stuff. Original but fun!
I also made a post called "Some important news soon" a while ago, which is not this post. I am still deciding about the content of the post, there are two scenarios and I only want to take one if I'm 100% sure about it, the outcomes and the commitment.
I'll keep you updated on both the News post and the Roxy's songwriting, the latter probably sooner
