GUIDANCE

Hey everyone, monthly update here.

I plan on making this a regular thing.


So, as you might've already heard I've been taking a bit of a break from development. This is a big project, and it's going to take a long time. And, for projects like this, it's good to take a break now and then and pour your energy into other things too.

That being said, I have still gotten some progress done since the last demos release.

I've finished the first cutscene after the bus trip at the end of the previous demo, and designed a couple of NPC's for the sidequest, as well as the building they're in.

I've also made a couple songs, though I'm not 100% sure if they're final or anything.

I've also been reconsidering releasing another demo (or updated version of the current demo) before the full game is done. I think that I've been feeling a lot more pressure, mostly self-inflicted; and I think that maybe if I keep things quieter it'll be easier to focus on just making what I love instead of worrying as much about whether or not it's good enough.

Quieter development cycles might work best for me, but we'll see. I've had a lot of fun engaging with the "community" (my friends) and making the ARG puzzles have been a lot of fun! But I think that it's maybe stretched me a little thin, and made me feel more pressured and such?

I don't know what to do coming up with the ARG for GUIDANCE, or for future updates and releases, but I do plan to at least do these monthly devlogs to tell you where things are in development.

Hope you enjoy them, and you have a good one. ^.^

Also I only said I don't know what to do next for the GUIDANCE ARG...

There may be mysteries elsewhere for the time being.

I thought it'd be fun to share my sketching process from scratch here, which is something you don't see as often in speedpaints.

I don't think it's physically possible to make me look more smug

(also, enjoy this little wip doodle)

How do you like the idea of me randomly dropping a mini Minecraft horror adventure map out of absolutely nowhere?

Created due to some combination of boredom, procrastination, and nostalgia.

Just made this tonight.

Wasn't happy with the lightning sword having the same animations as Emmas ring.

Oh, did I mention there's gonna be a lightning sword in the new demo?

Did I mention there's gonna be a new demo?...

While the Fluffy Egg seems reluctant to come out, the Rocky Egg is rearing to hatch any time now!

I'm EXPOSING GUIDANCE !!! That's right, he didn't believed me (probably did a spelling mistake lmao)

and i'm gonna show the truth to everybody

#GJAsks what the funniest game I've ever played is.

Need I say more?

Back on my own computer, with uh... well, let's just say I'm having a "fresh start"

That's ok tho, I didn't lose too much, and hopefully my computer will run a bit better.

Also, while I've been getting set up I decided to set this as my new lockscreen

Exploration number 2, after a full morning of digging this cave seems to be bigger than expected.

Burned? Weakened? Dazed? Bleeding? A band-aid should do the trick!

(larger announce post this saturday)

Edit: this was scheduled a while ago and moved around a bit, so the above statement was actually yesterday lol, but very soon!
