Update 4/22/19


Hey everyone.

So, production on this game has slowed down more than I honestly would’ve liked it to. However, don’t worry, I don’t plan on stopping development or even possibly canceling it.

It’s always been a big dream of mine to make a game, and I think it would be really cool to actually finally follow through and achieve that goal I’ve set for myself. I love storytelling, and this is a fun way for me to do that, and it can be shared with so many people; the thought of that, alone, is exciting to me.

I’ve learned a lot about game development in the recent weeks since my last update on here. I’ve also learned a lot more about how I want this game to play and what I want it to become overall. I have all these ideas in my head that I wish I could just get into the game immediately. Sadly, that can’t happen and it’ll take some time.

It honestly kinda sucks being the only developer for this. I’m doing everything, from the art, to the story, the music, programming, etc.

It’s tiresome. It’s very tedious and tiresome, so this will probably take longer than I want it to.

Hell, I’m writing this at 4:30 AM because I couldn’t sleep and wanted to work on this project. I’m not making this just for me, I’m making this to share with the world. I want it to be more than a game; an experience you can have memorable moments exploring.

Maybe it won’t become that, maybe it will. Either way, I’m GOING to make this happen.

I will have much more exciting stuff to share/showcase in the coming weeks. Please know I’m really working hard to deliver the best content I can.

Thanks for being awesome. <3

P.S. If anybody would be interested in helping out with tilesets, that would honestly be a blessing. (Paid, of course. Price can be discussed.)

Feb. 2nd, 2019: - Messed around with some tile art I drew up real quick and managed to get the player walking animations to work somewhat-properly. Video of the latter coming soon, preferably with a better environment to showcase.

Did you know that today is #InternationalJazzDay? 🎷😎

No? 😯 Well, we couldn't pass up this date!

And what better to celebrate this day than #Pecaminosa #OST? 🎷

Let us know what you think about it and have a great weekend!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

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🔖🔖🔖

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist
