Damn, what a shame. Gonna have to get a controller someday, the video looks very fun.

thx bros

I've got a wiki partially cooked up,

but I'm hosting it directly off my IP which is probably not ideal in terms of response time and security lolz

The wiki is live

I have dreamed of having that url one day its v exciting to actually have it suddenly. The content outlined in the wiki also really gives a feel for how the game is planned to grow through future updates.

I've been working as a programmer for years and I have zero knowledge of networking or web programming, my personal site is just a basic html page with some links

I used to write chat bots in high school, so I know a little about that stuff, but as soon as I'm in web browser territory I'm lost as heck.

Added profile naming interface for the 1.2.0 update (I can't leave the "demo player" placeholder text if I'm calling this an alpha lolz)

Keyboard input works here for convenience, or controller input works too. Added Y-Button feature to select a random name just based on a few preset names, which is just supposed to be a convenient tool for speedrunning.

The Phi character does nothing, but later I want to either use it to swap the keyboard to special characters and numbers, or have it change the color of the player's name. I haven't implemented substring color highlighting in NPC dialog text (based on the engine I think this will be a pain, but I have an idea for how.) If I do get the substring color feature going, I'm going to highlight all the names of forbidden book, and names of NPC discussion topics, etc.

new area, just setting the atmosphere for Haxlyn

Etzland wilderness is done

setting up effects on waypoints

connecting etzland wilderness to etzland citadel

etzland forest, if it were made out of recycled vanilla envelopes

 

[Otay]

adding an item shrine that you throw weed into

updated world map

outlined the work needed for the alpha release on the map itself:

sketched a minotaur yesterday

started coloring today

i use vibrant colors at first, just to see better

edited him into a rave for the lulz

final form

While I keep finding your taste in fonts and glyphs questionable, boy, those environments look fantastic. Gonna have to get myself a 360 controller for that 7/7 build, don't wanna miss sinking into that world any longer.

 

[agris]

Otay your pencil work is great, far far better than what happens when you're given a color-fill option. I think coloring on a computer hurts the quality of your work fwiw.

Good shit.

I like the coloring, feels like a comic book

thanks, i appreciate the polite feedback

whats nice about this being a hobby is that theres no final release date, so nothing is set in stone. ive redone levels and npcs and dialogs the music and the entire codebase, and ill keep iterating like that as i improve.

id really like to get into the 2d art more, if i had $80k i would quit my job for a few years, and the first thing i would do is sit around drawing for a couple weeks, because its fun and i can feel myself improving

but as it is right now, i have like 3 years worth of stuff i want to do more than refine the 2d art

like most of the npcs are still placeholder men in cloak sprites lolz

Good shit.

thanks man

this is how im spending my time

I like the concept, but the GUI and all the graphical styles that clash is a turn-off. I might be able to see past that, but I don't think a lot of other people will look past that when they browse Steam and look at screenshots.

thats okay with me man

this game will never be on steam but hopefully it will improve over time

 

[rusty_shackleford]

this game will never be on steam

(Not intended to be rude)
Steam accepts anything, there's no downside to putting it on there

just realized i would need a wacom tablet if i ever wanted to really color these by hand, all my art is done with keyboard/mouse tracing of pics i take from my phone of my irl art

but before i ever get one of those i should probably replace my dying mouse (keeps skipping everywhere) and my monitor (big dark triangle in the bottom right)

if you guys wanna support me to get me out of shithole land, i have a patreon https://www.patreon.com/BrambleGateStudios

what software do you use for tracing your scanned lineart?

1.2.0 should be coming out later today, only a few bugs and some polishing to take care of

added new enemies to the game, bone mages and oculox

got my first ever fan art from a young kid on discord

made some ladders, which i like more than the weird jump pad things i usually use

its starting to feel how i wanted it to, like how i felt as a kid building forts in my backyard and running around the neighborhood

updated my shitty flag graphics from 2013

lots of cool updates planned for the future, hopefully, but i just got laid off so my life is probably falling apart for a while. im not even sure how im going to survive.

but here's some screenshots of the citadel for the 1.4.0 update, i really hope we get there one day

This looks so damn unique. Can't wait to get a normal computer so I can try this.
