Clatterbind - Prologue

1 day ago

Status Update - Lots going on!

I'll be honest, I couldn't think of a title for this devlog because we've done so much!


Five months ago, in devlog 2, I said that the prologue was 45% complete.

I have some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is that the prologue is about 55% done.

“But you only did 10% in 5 months?!”
Not at all!

It turns out that 5 months ago, the planned size of the prologue was
much smaller than it is now.

The original plan was:

  • NeverEvers' Sky (AREA 1)

  • ??? (AREA 2)

  • ??? (AREA 3)

So the good news is that we added content that wasn't in the original plans.

Here is the current (and final!) plan:

  • NeverEvers' Sky (AREA 1)

  • Low-Class Outskirt (SUB-AREA 1)

  • ??? (AREA 2)

  • ??? (SUB-AREA 2)

  • ??? (AREA 3)

The people on the team testing the game are currently taking close to a total of one hour of gameplay to complete NeverEvers' Sky, as well as almost all of Low-Class Outskirt.

“It all depends on how much of the areas you've completed!”
Yes, I'm getting to that!

Here are the current completion percentages for two areas of the prologue:

NeverEvers' Sky (AREA 1)

  • Visuals: 100%

  • Audio: 100%

  • Cinematics: 100%

  • Writing (French): 99%

  • Writing (English): 85%

  • Programming: 100%

Low-Class Outskirt (SUB-AREA 1)

  • Visuals: 90%

  • Audio: 80%

  • Cinematics: 5%

  • Writing (French): 10%

  • Writing (English): 0%

  • Programming: 70%

The reason why I decided to give percentages for these two parts of the prologue is very simple.

The rest hasn't progressed!

However, other things have progressed since then. For those who are curious, here are the completion percentages for various elements:

  • Title screen: 100%

  • Settings menu: 100%

  • Game interface: 100%

  • Android support: 100%

...Yes, we also added support for Android phones in the meantime!
So, if a demo is released, it will be available on Windows PC, Linux (with Proton), and Android phones.

“Demo? There will be a demo?”
There will indeed be a demo.
It will contain NeverEvers' Sky and Low-Class Outskirt.

“When will it be released?”
When everything is ready!
Be patient, we still have a way to go.

Okay, enough talk about percentages, here are some current images from the game!

This is the game interface in action.
It allows you to view information as well as your equipment and items.

You can also view the settings here.

New interactions have been added, as well as new NPCs...
...this weird paint pot isn't the best example.

And to conclude this devlog, I'll leave you with two images of Low-Class Outskirt (sub-area 1)!
(The following images will be added as preview images accessible on the GameJolt page)
