Outcasts
1 year ago

Hey there!

So, I tried to upload a little teaser for Outcasts multiple times, but it failed. Most likely just my internet being crap, I don't know.

But wait, there's more!


I was going to announce in the post that development for Outcasts is going to be postponed for a much smaller side-project I started in the hopes that I'll have a renewed enthusiasm for the game when I come back to it.

Maybe you're sad to hear that, maybe you're excited for something new, maybe you don't care at all, I don't know.

To me, one of the hardest parts of making a big project is looking at all the old assets you're using, realizing how bad they are, and then having to accept the fact that you're using them or suffering another six months of drawing. Coding the same characters and using the same sprites and listening to the same music struggling to tell the same story is gonna drive me insane if I don't have multiple projects with their own atmospheres to turn to. Maybe I sound crazy for trying to juggle these projects, maybe I am crazy, but I'm gonna be really slow if I just try to press on with Outcasts.

Sorry.

Scary games.

(we need help)

Behold, one of the travel abilities available to the player in Outcasts - The ShortRift!

I'd be lying to say I didn't have a ton of fun messing around with this.

Finally got my hands on a PS2 copy of Pac Man World 2 after like a decade of being deprived of this game.

Peak nostalgia.

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 6 celebrates @Narwhalnut ! They program bugs (in the game Insectile)! We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: What dev habit helps you the most?

ME. I have the coolest mask in gaming.

A close second would probably be Sammy Lawrence from the Bendy series, though.

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 4 celebrates @ElPichon ! They're just a bird who likes to draw! They're also the developer behind The Bunny Graveyard II and Chunky JUMP!. We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: How Did You Learn Game Dev?

Cover for a short book I'm trying to do.

Tried adding some more light because the eyes seemed too bright for the environment.

Too much?

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 5 celebrates @ExpoDev ! He's the founder of PMH Interactive and is working on The Obsessive Shadow and more. We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: What keeps you making games when it gets tough?

This is Outcasts.

But it's not the Outcasts I've talked about before.
