Game
Outcasts
8 months 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.

There's a pretty big update on the way!

Here's some little things I'm working on!

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.

After a surprisingly short discussion with @LinkIncGames awhile back, we've decided to do a crossover.

I'm happy to announce that The Flipside's Mira Fletcher will appear in Outcasts!

Happy Video Game Day!

July 8 is Video Game Day, a holiday that's obviously close to our hearts at Game Jolt.

Celebrate by completing our quests! They won't be around long, so get the rewards while you can.

@ryon is a Jolter to Watch, game dev, programmer, and artist who worked on Five Nights at Friedrich's! Follow @ryon before the quest ends on July 15 and you'll get Coins!

The Outcasts soundtrack just jumped from 9 to 23 songs on the game page!

Be sure to give them a listen, and keep an eye out for new tracks every now and then.

It was a lot harder than I thought it'd be.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
