Megacon HN 2016 Recap and Honduras Startup Round 1 results


Megacon HN 2016

Well today I attended to the biggest con in my country and as always I got a lot of feedback from people and it was awesome. I also had the opportunity to talk with other national indie developers to share experiences and that was cool too.

With this event I finished my ” face-to-face feedback tour” and I can’t have more clear all the improvement points in the RPG part and also the potential in the platform part if I can make it look more visually appealing.

here are the pics:

Honduras Startup

Well last Wednesday at night I received a mail notifying me that Soul Update was selected as one of the 200 best technological projects from 540 that entered the contest. This means a small financial support to the game and also a week of training about startups. I’m pretty happy about it and I also feel blessed for what happened and I hope I can be selected as one of the 10 finalist project so I can officially say that the game got founded.

Well that’s all for today’s update, I will bring more news soon

As always thanks for supporting the game, this means a lot to me <3

1st Digital prototype... almost finished.. due to "The genius" that crashed into an electricity pole near the office and I had to work on the prototype until 1 am :). Shooting is the only thing missing (Dash, aim + ray cast done). Will share it this week

Today I tweaked a little bit the face (Pic 1) and tested a few animations (gif). I was in an event from work so I couldn't progress that much but I want to have a better prototype build before February ends. See you soon! #shooter #anime

After doing some play-testing at the office, I concluded the following: - The shooting prototype will feel better with normal shooter movement. - The "Moral system" is engaging but needs more options. - 3rd person view feels good for exploration.

We are going from left to right. Why? the answer soon. (Don't you think that peeking ear is cute? ) - Limitations: I have to deliver 2 non-game related projects so I'm doing progress but slowly, I work on parts that help me relieve stress from work.

Lack of updates due to: - An event. (Pics) - Signed a contract to develop an app (ends July). 2 more apps in the queue - Improving and porting Void in the Sky (https://gamejolt.com/games/void-in-the-sky/406864) for PC and ??? (requires less time) - Still working on Soul Update

Instead of using the 3D model of a future game of mine (Last gif) I'll use this placeholder (more personalized) that shows the feel I'm trying to communicate in the game. I tried VRoid for 1 1/2 hour and I think I can use this model for prototypes

Paper prototype for the Leveling system based on a moral one finished! Unfortunately I can't share it since it is on paper, but tomorrow I'll start working on the digital one for the shooting part and if there is time this week I'll include this one on it

Quick note: - I had an issue with animations but it got solved. (For prototyping) - I just delivered a project for a client. I'm working on a boring but useful app for another client. I won't be able to post frequently (gotta pay the bills). #shooter

The prototypes build is ready and I was preparing a video for that post but I got a call today for a meeting tomorrow and I have to prepare some info TT_TT ... I'll post it tomorrow !

I just finished the shooting part. I'll try upload this prototype and the paper one I did so I can receive feedback early. This are gameplay prototypes which means: It should feel engaging even with placeholders. Aesthetics come after it feels fun.
