Developer postCatalyst Wake Released!
Hello! Catalyst Wake has finally been released on Steam! Hopefully the wait is worth it. To celebrate the occasion, I've changed the main menu — one of the very few things on my list of "potential future updates". I will continue to support Catalyst Wake with bug fixes and additi
Developer postCatalyst Wake Finished!
Catalyst Wake has been finished, and is now available to play on itch.io! It will be coming to Steam on February 10th . Obviously I can't link to the itch page from Steam, since it's against Steam's policies. But I suspect that doesn't matter, since if you're reading this progres
Developer postTomorrow
We're one day away from Catalyst Wake's release!! Just in case you didn't know this already, the game will be coming to Steam on February 10th next year, but is releasing on itch.io tomorrow. This is because the end of the year is a bad time to release games on Steam. The past we
Developer postAll CGs Complete
I completed 115 CGs this week, bringing the total CGs in Masks to 558. And with that, every CG in Catalyst Wake has been completed!! Even though I won't have time to extend the Summit fight sequence, I do want to go back in and revise some CGs I made. And I haven't post-processed
Developer post15 Days
I completed 48 CGs this week, bringing the total CGs in Masks to 399! However, 27 of those CGs were only used on one particular shot. It's so many frames it's practically an animation, and took me about four days to complete. Once the game is out, you'll see why all that effort w
Developer postPretty Soon
Ahhh the end is in sight!! I can feel it! This past week, I concentrated on the hardest scenes first. I'm currently halfway through what I've determined is the most difficult scene. I have four scenes left to complete after this one!! I completed 37 CGs this week, bringing the to
Developer postScene By Scene
Well after last week's somewhat depressing post, here's a much more exciting one! I completed 54 CGs this week, bringing the total CGs in Masks to 314. Of course, because I did the action scenes first, it doesn't take nearly as long to play as the other two yet, despite having al
Developer postSabotaging My Own Game??
This past week, I had a somewhat sobering conversation with a marketing professional about Catalyst Wake . But it was also really helpful. I've thought about some things, and I'm going to make some adjustments to the release schedule — more on that later. First of all, I'm pretty
Developer post1000 CGs
This past week, I finally reached the 1000 CG milestone. To be more specific, there are now 1012 CGs in Catalyst Wake . Now, quantity isn't an indication of quality by any means. However, when I started this project, I wanted to make a rather high number of CGs, and in the back o
Developer postWaking Up
Hello again! I'm back at it with the CGs again, currently working on the first scene in Masks . It's a big relief that I already finished the biggest scene, as the other scenes aren't nearly as long, and as I complete more and more of them, I'm hoping that will create a "motivati
Developer postBack to Backgrounds
Well, I'm about halfway through creating all the backgrounds I need. I also spent some time in the first part of the week working on another scene, which means Masks now has three scenes complete, out of twelve. The longest scene may be done, but I suspect it will take at least a
