Hey everyone, I know the next beta is ultra late (but you can sign up for it here), so I at least wanted to show you where we're at and even show you some behind-the-scenes concept art.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Keep in mind that not all screens are equal as some are long cutscenes and some you just run through once. For example, the Museum had 14 playable screens (but 4 of which you just ran through quickly) + 7 cutscenes (which is much more than most areas besides the Opening and Ending). So theoretically there is a ton more gameplay in the other 4 middle sections of the game compared to the Museum.
About the beta- we haven't been able to complete it because our artists are so talented that they were stolen away by more prestigious work (not better work, just more prestigious =P), so the the last 3 screens in Sky Mountain and the last 1 screen in Bloom Park were left unfinished. However, they are currently being created now by the amazing Adorabelle & Cindy. They were always our primary background artists, but they were busy filling out the rest of the game, and have only recently been available to work on these. You can see one of the in-progress screens below:
(I especially love the way they did the lighting on the black and gold color scheme)
The last thing I want to note that since the next beta will be such a large portion of Epiphany City's gameplay, we are only opening it up to people who specifically request to play it, especially through our very awesome newsletter. But don't worry about this for now, as I'll give you more details on this when the beta is ready.
As always, if you have any other questions feel free to reply or email me directly and I'll definitely get back to you. Thank you for being so patient and staying with me and my team on this journey.
I hope you enjoy your week!
