Happy July and I hope everyone had a good weekend!
First I wanted to share some exciting news. We had the opportunity to be briefly showcased on IGN Live, where we shared some footage of a new gameplay trailer! If you haven't seen the new trailer yet, I definitely recommend checking it out, as it has some new footage that hasn't been seen before. I’m planning to add it to Steam here shortly as well!
Dungeon Progress
Mapping for the final dungeon is now complete! Part of me is sad we won't be showing it off, because in my opinion it's turned out really great. But I think it's going to be an awesome surprise for you when you play the finished game. 😉
There's also been a lot of progress in the maps for Veyrlorn Palace. It is now complete minus a bit of fixes and polish, and a few story-oriented rooms we're saving for a bit later.
In addition to progress on previous dungeons, mapping for 2 more dungeons has begun. One of them is a secret optional dungeon. The other one is the Crystal Cavern, which was very briefly shown in our newest trailer recently. Here's a screenshot of how the aesthetic is coming along!
Music
More music tracks have been written. You can hear one in the Veyrlorn Palace video above. 🙂
NPC Placeholders and Dialogue Implemented
Previously we had most of the NPC dialogue written. Now it is implemented in all the towns using placeholder NPCs!
Boss Art
The two bosses pixel arts that were in progress have been completed, and the final remaining boss pixel arts are now in the process of being created (and pretty deep in the progress to getting finished)!
After we finish the boss art, we'll be getting started on new NPC art.
Sound Effects
Alan has been working on a lot of new sound effects to add to the game! We haven’t got them implemented yet, but it’ll be exciting to hear all the new sounds in action when we do.
Closing
Thanks for checking out another Steam Chronicle and I wish you all the best this July. If your climate is anything like ours, don't forget to spend time with your loved ones and enjoy the outside while the weather is still good!
Until next time,
Joe
