Welcome, everyone!

This is the first State Of The Game for TIMESPACE, and these articles will serve two key purposes:

• The State Of The Game will serve as motivation for me to get working on the game to log about all the progress at the end of the month.

• It will also serve as previews to the game's progress and what's being actively implemented in it! This is also to not cause people to get burnt out of waiting for so long without any progress updates, either.

But, Enough talking! Time to show you the progress, isn't it?

OVERWORLD AND STONE AGE PROGRESS

The current state of the overworld is just the normal space-time continuum, which, take a look!

(First room of the continuum, early ver, not final.)

(Second room of the continuum, early ver, not final.)

(Third and as of this article the final room of the continuum, early ver, not final and is subject to change.)

Now that you've gotten a good look at the game, you might have some questions..

"These sprites don't look good, do you plan on changing them?"

Yes, yes I do! But I'm currently waiting for my friend to get them done, as they're a very busy person (Please keep in mind, this game is indeed being developed by one person, with the help of friends for the game's art!)

"Is this all that's planned for the overworld?"

No, there's more to be added soon! There's the real world that you have to navigate at the start of the game, and the stone age that will carry the same style as the overworld! But I can't guarantee you the other eras will be the same...

"That's a strange looking portal, it looks out of place, what is it?"

Good question! That brings me onto my next preview..

SILVERSCREEN ERA AND SIDE-SCROLLER PROGRESS

The first of the four eras planned in the game, give it up for the Silverscreen Era!

...

Where's the preview?

..Okay, okay.. I've got to admit, I started work on the Silverscreen Era pretty late, and I didn't have time to make it ready for preview yet..

But I swear I have a good reason!

I had to go on vacation for a week earlier (or later?) this month, and I even planned to bring a laptop with me to maximize work efficiency!

..But the laptop was slow, and otherwise was incapable of running Gamemaker, since it hadn't been fixed it yet..

But that'll change in the next State Of The Game, I promise!

For now, don't think you're out of content yet...

New character reveal?!

That's right, it's new character reveal time!

This will be another planned portion for every State Of The Game, where I showcase a new character that'll make it into the roster of TIMESPACE!

The character this month is..

"Akantha, The Medieval Thorn"!

Akantha, leader of one of the bigger castle-towns that'll be in the medieval era, is a good-hearted leader, but his trust is not easy to gain.

You will definitely see more of him as I work more on the medieval era, but for now the overworld and silent era are my current priorities!

Finishing up

Boy.. Are we already at the end? I've really wanted to add more to this State Of The Game, and I feel awful about how short it ended up being..

I really apologize for not doing much work this month, next month will definitely have more work done and everything will look more polished!

If you want to see more progress on the game, I will at some point also put devlog videos on YouTube! But until then, always remember;

"You can't change the past, but you can learn from it and change the future!"
