Shrouded | July Progress Report


Hey folks, Crimson here.

Another fairly brief update this month, given that I’ve been away on a foreign holiday for the majority of it. Nonetheless I’ve been using the time to refine a few of the less ‘mechanical’ aspects of Shrouded - particularly the story script. I’ve adjusted, tweaked and added things in various cutscenes and interactive objects within the world to make the flow and progression of the story much more natural.

In other news, I will be starting a new job and moving to a new place at the start of August. In a way, that makes things better for Shrouded if anything. I’ll be forced to develop on a strictly defined schedule to coincide with my day job - which in turn, will allow for more meaningful updates to the game, as opposed to just coming and going from the build when I ‘feel’ like it. But for the sake of not repeating past errors, I’m not providing figures or dates just yet!

Anyway, that’s it for now! I’ll check in next month again.

*Stay savage,

~Crimson*

Happy belated new year. Still working on Shrouded, don't worry. Been saying it for nearly 7 years now, but hey. I'm picky, and want it to be right! Just been dealing with a lot of work-related bullshit lately: the joys of serving a major tech company.

How far Shrouded has come.

(Old build on right, Current build on Left.)

And it's still going! We're almost there, though.

Shrouded | The Three 'L's

So. That's not good!

The SSD that had all of Shrouded's assets on it decided to format itself.

The source code and current build are still intact on GitHub, but the raw assets are on that drive. :(

Fingers crossed!

Ooof! That poll was SO close. Care to elaborate on your thoughts/opinions regarding your preferred approach below?

I've been 10 Years on GameJolt apparently. Pretty crazy. Shrouded's probably been in development for that length of time too kek. #spawnday

So, I bought a Master System for my collection. Thought I'd clean it up internally.

Never mind Sonic.EXE. Dead insects, corrosion and bird shit inside a SEGA console?

That's the real Creepypasta.

Well... shit.

I'll have to dig through one of my remote systems. Might have an older archive of assets stored.

Like I said, the game's current build is intact thankfully - just the raw assets that are currently in the ether.

When you find a game-breaking bug with the core loop.

Old one, but eternally relevant. 🙃
