DOTD Progress Update.


Heya, I've been kinda quiet on the game since I released the updated Alpha Foxer boss theme, so I figured I wanna talk about whats new with DOTD.

So I had mentioned in a post when I initially took down the Legacy Demo that the game was being redone in a newer version of GameMaker. I had wound up doing this for a couple of reasons

  1. The Legacy Demo's framework was made during a time when I didn't fully understand GameMaker 1.4. As a result, the underlying code was very messy, and full of hack-job solutions that are painful to bugfix when they stop working. The newer version aimed to be easier to bugfix, and full of ease-of-use scripts to make adding stuff like enemies, abilities and cutscenes easier.

  2. Using an in-support version of GameMaker is a much wiser choice that the outdated option. Plus I get to take advantage of some things that I couldn't in GameMaker 1.4, like animation curves (i love animation curves).

Now for a preview, Chapter 1 will have a new area that was not in the Legacy Demo. I briefly showed it off when I joined BlueSky. Now I'm at the point in the chapter's development where I can actually work on the area. I'm not going to show off too much cause I still want some things to be a surprise, but I'll show this image of Addie and Dexter chilling in the area.

That's all I have to show. The chapter should be done a little after the start of the new year. Once it is done, permitting that beta testing doesn't take too long, Chapter 1 should release sometime in February or March 2025.
(This is just an ETA, it could release sooner or later idk.)

Thanks for reading and take this holiday art, Happy Holidays

Hey y'all. So I'm done with FNAS. I've just lost interest. Here's what I completed for Side Story 2, aka Paradox. and a little picture I drew. See ya round ;)

Currently my favorite section of Chapter 2

Give me like a week, I'll prolly make something better.

Development is going good. Chapter 1 now has a lot of fruit! Someone's got to eat it I suppose.

yes i am sidetracking, the new area is mostly complete, but I'm going back and tweaking earlier points in the chapter.
