We're in the process of applying for CODE funding, aiming to secure a $40,000 seed fund. This financial support will be instrumental in enhancing the quality of our demo, making it more marketable when we approach potential publishers.
We're making good progress on incorporating player art and animations into the game. Our goal is to have this ready in time for the Remote Play Together Fest on Steam in February 2024.
Narrative
Some time ago, Out of Sight was purely a co-op game. This proved challenging for development and market viability. Stealth games are niche, and requiring a partner added an extra barrier. So, we added a single-player mode, transforming it into a single-player first experience.
As a result, we've adjusted the game's narrative to align with this change. We've been experimenting with AI text-to-speech in Unity, utilizing this asset from the Unity Asset Store as a placeholder to help us refine the game's dialogue and assess its overall pacing faster.
Ultimately, our goal is to have a voice actor for this part; however, this depends on our studio's resources. We are also taking precautions to avoid any copyright licensing issues associated with using AI in games.
