Hi horror fans,
In my last update, I talked a lot about Agatha. She's the evil teacher whose house you need to escape from in my psychological horror game Dark Lessons.
What I didn't tell you is that you won't be alone with her. Agatha used to have a husband, and he's in the house as well — or rather, whatever is left of him is. I won't reveal why he's there, why he's dead (... maybe?) or what he's up to just yet, but I at least wanted to share with you this amazing concept art of him that my 2D artist Hitsugitoshi has come up with.
Him and Agatha, I think they make a lovely couple!
By the way, there's even a fourth person in the house (you, the player, being the third), but that's a topic for another newsletter.
As for myself, I spent most of the past month taking Blender animation courses so that I could properly bring my 3D models to life. Unfortunately, this means that I haven't got any new in-game footage for you, though I promise you that something really cool is cooking right now.
I'm also fairly certain that this will conclude my months-long saga of taking Blender courses, at least for this project, and I've now got the 3D basics needed to hit the ground running.
Meanwhile, please take this simple practice animation of a wobbly blob I did as part of the course and bear with me.
At least my artists (yes, plural!) haven't been lazy at all this month. Besides the drawings for Agatha's husband, I got composer Megollyen to create an original track for me, and capsule artist Guilherme Holz revamped my Steam capsule to give it a much more professional look!
