Hey everyone,
Let me show you some cool updates and behind the scenes snippets of what we've been up to since the last newsletter:
Vote now for your favorite sketch!
We’re starting out strong with an opportunity for you to get involved in deciding on a new key art for our new Steam capsule! The game has evolved quite a bit since the first key art and even though it still slaps, we felt that it’s time for a breath of fresh air. These are the three sketches our 2D artist Astor has come up with:
The old/current key art shows Slice (on the left) and Zer0 (on the right) who were the first two characters added to the game. Zer0 is the main protagonist in the story behind Resistance 204X.
In the first sketch we kept close to the story of Resistance 204X and exchanged Slice with Zer0's main opponent Sargon7.
The second and third sketch show all 10 characters that we plan on having in the game, to potentially have the key art be a bit more dynamic and representative of what to expect from the game.
Let us know on our Discord or Twitter which one we should pick and if you have any more feedback + thoughts!
Testing our new rushdown character!
Last week Julio and our intern Finn tested the upcoming fighter Paint in the office. Using only his kicks for attacking, he allows for very fun and fast gameplay, with a focus on mobility and opportunities for long combos. Don’t worry, he is gonna get a proper texture soon. 👀
Other things we're working on...
We’re also going through the feedback from the latest public playtest bit by bit to improve Sargon7.
If you’re a creator or streamer and would like to try out Sargon7 in our streamer exclusive demo, just reach out for a key! ✌️
A lot of effort is also going into the storymode, lots and lots of storyboarding and drawing all the panels for that. If you look closely here you might be able to spot another one (or two) of the upcoming characters:
Coming up next...
Resistance 204X is participating in the LATAM Indie Awards Steam event next week from Dec 6th - Dec 7th! There will also be a livestream on their YouTube at 9 PM CEST. We got a new trailer ready for the event, which we will post and add to the Steam page afterwards for you to check out.
