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!

Loading and reading scripts now works! This means, not only will it be much easier for me to make episodes, but there is now a very real possibility of player-made episodes!

Meet the cast (so far)!

5 years later - What changed

BIG NEWS: Your Bandit can wear a Game Jolt hat and shirt in Bandit Trap!

Defend your home or steal treasure in the open beta: https://bit.ly/BanditTrapBeta

It ends on March 23rd at 6 am CET!

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.

@ElPichon 's Chunky JUMP! is a survival-horror platformer where you must survive through the night on your BIRD BOY.

But beware... the Ghabbit is hunting and you must restore power before it's too late!

Play the Demo before March 1: https://bit.ly/ChunkyJump

My new narrative file format is working wonderfully! This is a massive step forward! (also, please do enjoy the sketch in place of final artwork- I've learned to leave the polished art for later in the name of progress)

Taking its time, but not forgotten...

@MidnightForge is a Jolter to Watch and the solo horror dev behind games like Those Who Dwell and Nowhere! Follow @MidnightForge and the Those Who Dwell game page before the quest ends on March 17 and you'll get Coins!
