The Desolate Hope: Codename Galaxy's July 2025 devlog


Buon Ferragosto :P, sorry for the late post.

Before we begin...

Great, with that out of the way, devlog time!

  • As you can (hardly) see from this month's illustration, i made a model for the train in Malenville (and its little conductor).

    The original model is a few carriages, but there's a reason for that.

  • @MrMcCowLicks worked on the models for the basic villagers house and Malenz's house. I then modified them a bit and textured them.

    forgot to render a gif for this one

  • Turkenshtane has redesigned the game's protagonist to be more in line with the games's current direction. I initially had in mind to make everything as close as Scott's style, but as you can see on the models is not 1:1 and i felt the protagonist was left behind in the design department (she was the one to make me notice that actually). She did a great job with it and she'sworking the two illustrations needed for the demo (among commissions for other people and her own work). Too bad you won't get to see it untill the demo comes out in January of 2040 :P

  • Some Clickteam stuff i'm also not able to show yet, including a very pretty title animation thing that made me ask "why if i ask clickteam to do something [at the start of the frame] the physics from the first moviment still influence the ones of the second moviment-

  • Wait speaking of Turkenshtane, i still have to make a portrait of her and @Phillebrave for the page. I'm actually planning to redesign the ones already there anyway, sooo i guess next thing i'm going to work on is going to be making the gamejolt page a little prettier and up to date...this is not really a "devlog of what happend last month" thing but i'm putting it here anyway as a little reminder for myself.

  • I made a discord server for the team because the drive folder wasn't really being used (even by myself) and i ended up getting updates and assets from discord, so i did the thing i should have done from the start and made a discord server for the team aswell as some irl friends that offered to be testers.

  • Silly Tumbr posting shenanigans :P

Wasn't able to finish the "big owl kitchen timer thing" i showed before i took that exams related break yet, but for next month's going to be ready, pinkie promise

Thank you for sticking with the project and the semi-frequent-but-still-monthly updates. See you next month! I'm going to bed now.

Taking a quick detour from Codename Galaxy to work on a 5-years-late secret santa present dedicated to a dear friend of mine. CG's demo is still planned to come out near the end of Q1. Sorry for the inconvenience.
