The Vrennman Case

3 months until the demo - here's what we have


Hello there, people of the jolt.
Chris here! Surprised?
Well, John’s on a contract somewhere close to Japans southern coastline. Apparently, there are spirits there, that need to be put to rest. Something of that description. So it’s my job today, to fill you in on all the juicy details about the latest development on The Vrennman Case.

Most importantly, after … probably almost three years in development, Ellen, Johns ghost companion, finally got some proper animations. As you can see above. The graphics guy finally got around animating her. It came out slightly differently than John had anticipated, as far as I can tell, but he was satisfied with the result all the same. So that’s cool.

There also has been a lot of work going on for making the place come to … uh. Life. I guess. Most NPCs are dead by most common definitions of the word but you get the picture. You can interact with a lof of things in the game and sometimes the reactions of John and Ellen will be different, depending on what you saw before the interaction or what you did or not did.

There is also an ongoing efford by the graphics guy to improve the overall looks and mood of the setting and, of course, John is always busy implementing all the weird puzzles the Vrennman cult has implemented into its residence to keep intruders away. Or at least kill them!

And that, good people, concludes the progress so far.
We’re closing in on finishing the underground demo level.
After all puzzles are in place, there will be passes to set up soundscapes and adjust the lighting where necessary.

Cheers,
Chris

Good people of the Vrennman Case following!

We have a LOT of change in store for the game in the coming year. And a new playable demo build will be available soon!

In this rather late-to-the-party article Chris talks about what happened when we didn't post anything in November as promised. It's exciting. And maybe a little crazy.

Just as Pecaminosa's musicians #improvise this rendition of #LittleSunflower 🌻, so do we improvise with this post you're reading. 😂

What's coming out of your own improvs? 🤔

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Protege el conocimiento, salva la historia. Guardian of Lore es un platformer 2D en el que debes luchar para mantener viva la memoria de la mitología latinoamericana. El juego llegará a Steam el 18 de mayo: https://steam.pm/app/1211740 #ScreenshotSaturday

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!
