Welcome to the 4th edition of From The Court - my, how time flies! We got our release date announcement last weekend (7th August for those of you slacking and didn't know yet), and now it feels like it's rushing up to us real quick. Just under 2 weeks away!
Have a look at some of these early development shenanigans
These are pretty old bugs when the devs first stared to try and expand the scope of the game
This one is an asset in a wrong space, when they were first testing out the wonderwheel. Funny how one small thing can lead to something like this! My dev expertise is limited to my comp sci classes back in high school and first year of engineering, so this is fascinating.
Here we have a picture of them trying to make the randomly generated map nodes work, but that took so much more time than expected! It's like a spider web. A spider web of confusion that even the spider would get lost in. It's me, I'm the spider.
Now, this one...
When I first saw this, I just had to know what on earth was going on.
"This one is funny, for some reason whenever we try to add some blur effects in Godot something always goes wrong, so we usually try some other solutions to make visuals more clear. But this time we persevered and had to go through bugs like this haha"
All this for a bit of blur. The things our lovely developers go through to bring us a quality game.
This last one is my favourite.
As a bird lover (bird tax of my old girl and her kids) I 1000% love whatever is going on here.
"Finding actually good fonts for the game was hard, this is a representation of a point where we gave up haha"
Honestly? Totally fair.
We're at the Nottingham Video Games Expo this weekend!
Not me, but you can catch our Product Manager, Matt, and our Video Editor, Reece at the expo! If you're around, say hi, play the game, and snag some of these super cool goodies!
Matt handmade these himself with a whole lot of love so you know they're extra cool stickers. Look at those wax seals! There's a whole variety of colours to choose from (except yellow, apparently we forgot entirely about the existence of yellow) and they're limited to the expo only!
We hope you're as geared up for launch day as we are! It's been so much fun and excitement during this whole journey to bring the game to you guys. Catch you in the next From The Court!
