The planned duration for the game, or the lack thereof


So, this is going to be a bit of an odd devlog, though not as odd as that mix-up a few days ago. XD

As of now, I’m trying to figure out roughly how long the game should take, and how much it should focus on side content. As of now, my thoughts are this: If I make the main game a little bit shorter, then it gives me more time to think about ideas for various extra features and such to improve the replayability of the game, and possibly more over-world space to add said things.

It may also allow the game to be a somewhat more focused experience, making sure the game keeps each and every new segment fresh and exciting.

Of course, at this early stage of development, nothing is final, but I just thought I would post something on this devlog.

Oh, and also of note: The game isn’t on a full-out hiatus like I expected, though I’m definitely focusing on it less. There may actually be a new version released relatively soon (e.g. a few days or weeks or so), on that note. XD

Next up

More graphical improvements (Note: Image is scaled up quite a bit, click on it to see it at the original resolution. Also, for some reason, it thinks I uploaded two images.)

Working on a new boss battle...

A new boss has been coded!

Sometimes, you've just gotta stop and smell the flowers, ya know?

Currently trying to make the out of bounds areas in the upcoming (and eventual, please have a bit of patience, this may take a while) update look a bit cooler via unusual skyboxes and using a fade to transparency instead of a fade to black for fog.

In my attempt to continue updates as we approach the demo release, have an out-of-context graphical effect.

Graphical improvifying

The plan going forwards

They say the third time's a charm. Well, here's take 3 on the player sprite... consider it graphical improvifying phase 2.

...?

Oh, did you think this was dead...?

...nah, but it was on hiatus.

I can't promise any kind of release date on anything here. Just can say I'm trying to get some more progress done now. Might actually release this update some day... maybe...
