Area 1 is complete! 7/7 levels!

Read more to learn about the upcoming demo


I was going to upload a demo this weekend, then remembered that it's Mother's Day and y'all need to call your mothers and grandmothers instead of playing video games

My goal is Monday, possibly Sunday evening if I'm feeling ambitious and get all the little odds and ends done. Lucy's vest isn't fitting quite right, and I found the weirdest and most precise bug ever. Should be an easy fix, but it was still very odd and extremely precise

Keen on the demo? Here's what you should know:

  1. The primary function of this game is education. It's modeled after old-school Mario Teaches Typing, but the goal is to learn Unified English Braille.

  2. Brailling involves chording using the SDF/JKL keys. It is not a mobile game. I think it'd be cooler'n heck to be able to plug in a braillewriter and play, but I highly doubt that will ever happen.

  3. It is intended to be rather minimalist. Again, education first. And there isn't much of a story to it either.

If it still sounds like fun, or if you just want to help out a brain-dead, cross-eyed developer, keep an eye out in the next few days for a demo/alpha test

Lots of modeling the last few days. Got some houses made, remade some of my terrain blocks (rebuilt the harbor), and started on the NPC models. Also worked on the battle system and the follower system, now with 1/10th the code but 10x more efficient

This game has gone through so many iterations it's not even funny anymore

Level 5 complete Not sure if I'm ambitious enough to do Level 6 today. I might just need food first But it's looking like a demo is possible this weekend

With exception of some minor odds and ends, the home interior sheet is finished, which means I can start on all the levels. The next house (level 9) is an old farmhouse, the kind that had a bazillion rooms
