Happy March and welcome to the 35th Steam Chronicle!
More cutscene work, maps, and pixel art have been completed!
Mapping Progress
We're getting started on finishing up the mapping for the remaining towns now (such as Omdale, seen below), along with Pyragord Mountain. Here's a couple newly mapped screenshots our main mapper Decky lined up for us to share in the update:
Pixel Art
Pixel art as mentioned before is nearing completion! There's only straggling pieces of art left that we come up with while polishing and finishing cutscenes that aren't finished now.
Here's a glow-up for our save point, including one for where quick travel is available. The artist really went above and beyond with this one, and I think it turned out amazing! :
Cutscenes
Cutscenes from the 7th dungeon through the 9th dungeon are underway and should be done soon! After these are done there be only one major story dungeon left to do cutscenes for. 🙂 There is also a couple optional dungeons but the cutscenes within will be relatively simple.
Trying to avoid very spoilery stuff is challenging since we are getting deeper into the story with the most recent scenes. I will share a proper cutscene in the next update, but for now, here is our new improved effect for water rising and lowering in Veyrlorn Palace:
Closing
Cutscenes have been exhausting, but it's been very cool seeing them come together. There's still a lot left to do, so back to work I go. ✨
Until next time,
Joe
