Merry Christmas from Acre Shore (an exciting and terrifying update)


The most festive time of the year is upon us and I come bearing good news! Acre Shore is past its 'boring core code' phase and I'm into the real meat of development.

At this stage, I could technically compile the game and continue my work by editing the narrative file the game reads from. Missing asset errors aside, the game would function.

At this stage of development, I don't mind telling you that I'm intimidated by the mammoth task before me. I have so much story to interpret into engine readable syntax, so many art assets to produce, so many sound effects to produce, and so much music to compose. I am exhausted just thinking about how much work I have to do. It will feel like perpetual crunch time.

Incidentally, if you feel like helping me eat during this time, please consider supporting my Patreon (where you can also get extra sneak peeks and merch) https://www.patreon.com/lord_nexust

Anyway, here are some character sketches!

Meet the cast (so far)!

Arguably the most important part of the game's development- the script writing. Not just the actual writing part, but also the way the game reads and understands scripts. This is the format so far.

Our pals at @serenityforge have released Doki Doki Literature Club on iOS and Android!

Support them by picking up DDLC avatar frames, backgrounds, and sticker packs in the Game Jolt Shop or on their profile!

How are babies made? Well, I don't know! but I do know how my characters are made. First, they start as sketches like these! (also, sneaky peek at some new characters)

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Bendy because Bendy and the Dark Revival turns 3 on November 15! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

We've been quiet but busy. Time for an update!

Happy Halloween! Today's prompt is Pumpkin! Each day in October, you’ll get a new prompt and a new quest at 12 pm Eastern! Go to your quest log to find the quest! It'll expire tomorrow at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET.

The story of 'Going Down' is falling into place nicely. The visuals are looking lovely. The atmosphere is spooky with more than a touch of mystery.

I am very happy with progress!
