Sawyer here!
This was a very busy month, and I wanted to show you guys what we've been keeping busy with over the course of the last couple weeks!
The star of the show for this month has been Black Zone! This is a terrifying zone inspired by many great works of horror, a rusty and oppressive locale with an unkillable Warden that chases you relentlessly like a villain from a slasher movie!
This zone actually began development all the way back in August, so I'm so glad to finally be done with it! I'm really happy with how it came out though, and I think the extra time I gave it was perfect since we were able to get the zone feature complete right in time for Halloween!
Next up is a brand new type of dungeon, the ReCollection!
We finally got these implemented after planning them for months and months! In ReCollections, you're given a series of challenges to fulfill that you can wager points to accomplish! The more you wager, the more points you get back in return!
I think finally having finished Black Zone as well as the ReCollections is gonna be a huge weight off my back! However, there is one last special thing we've been working on this last month that's also consumed a lot of my time...
That's right, we're preparing a Kickstarter project!
The game is getting really big and we've had to do a lot of research and development for the programming side of things alongside the uptick in music and sprites. As a result, we've decided we're gonna opt for crowdfunding to help get the game finished!
There are gonna be lots of cool rewards, including the ability to make your own monsters and even some physical trading cards!
The campaign has not begun yet because I still have some preparations to make, but I will be making a proper announcement for it when we've got a date locked in.
I also recommend following the campaign's pre-launch page so you'll be notified when it's ready!
Other than that, this month featured a lot of testing and miscellenous handling of various animations and the usual things I have to make on a regular basis.
I hope to start doing monthly progress updates to help keep you guys posted on what we're working on!
Thanks a bunch for your support!
