Game
Don't Kill Her
11 years ago

Music, GDC, and burrowed crows.


Update needed, so here it is. The development is still going great, but as usual, I can’t reveal too much of it.

First question I should probably respond to, is : WHY DOES IT TAKE SO DAMN FUCKING LONG ???!!
It’s all about monney, life events and most of all, creating the best game I can do. Lately, I’ve been redesigning some earlier levels of the game, to make them seem more alive. I’m focussed on my intentions. I don’t want Don’t Kill Her to be just a game the player can beat. There’s something different I’m trying to achieve, that’s why it takes a lot of time.

But lately, the developement reached a whole new level. Siddharta Barnhorn contacted me. He’s a really talented and passionnated composer. He has been working on Antichamber, and Out There, among a lot of other movies. The point is, we’ve been talking a lot, about the game and he really enjoys what I’m trying to build. So, now Siddharta is part of the adventure !
I’ve been adding some of his early work into the game, and I have to say, I’m very excited about it. For the first time, I was able to feel what I really wanted to feel when playing the game. It seems like the world is becoming alive, in the tone and respect of the ambiance I hardly want to build.

Here’s an early audio sketch. Keep in mind that it doesn’t reflect the whole music work we’re trying to implement into the game. We don’t want it to be linear, like a single song looping in the background. We’re now trying to adjust music to the events encountered during the game. Let’s say, it’s all about layers.

Last but not least, Don’t Kill Her is going to the Game Developer Conference in San Francisco !

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖
