Head on over to Kickstarter to back it! We’ve got a month to raise 10,000 CDN to get this game funded! Let’s celebrate the Witch of Pride’s month :3
More on Ravenbrook
We’re doing pre-production work right now, getting the game’s story locked up, figuring out our asset requirements, and possibly soon, me making the proper 3D editor. Some major characters will be getting the more-proper 3D treatment too, because you all knew you wanted low-poly retro Fluffs in your game.
Meanwhile, BlueLily has been getting some things ready. Behold, the chess pieces! This is the Bishop for the Black team.
And here we have the extremely dangerous Queen for the White Team. Don’t underestimate her because she’s cute and a little rubbery, she’s basically a boss and can whallop your team. And if that happens…
Alia has been turned into a Knight piece! This is actually one of the sponsored transformation sets, it has its own encounter area and boss battles. I trust I won’t need to teach you all how to play Chess here, you can just use firewave and icebolt to take these guys down.
Ah, but who is Alia?
Want to read up on the game’s cast? All the profiles are on the Kickstarter page, go check it out!
I also feel compelled to correct some misconceptions about Chris’ favourite animals. The plushie TF for them will be this adorable patchwork duck :3
Okay, one last little treat before I go back to the normal update. While wandering around in the dungeon, you might get calls on the walkie talkie from Sable (bottom right), Alia’s band manager and fortunate survivor, giving you tips and also keeping you up to date with what’s going on back at the hub. You might also get them from Fluffs, but she’s probably just advertising sales like she doesn’t know what spam is. Or maybe she invented spam calls in ancient Mesopotamia.
These little conversations may occur randomly and can add a lot to the characterization, and will change depending on the order you play the game in – or if you join a witch. Fluffs still likes the colour of your money, after all.
We now return to your regularly scheduled development update.
Coding and Stuff for Runes of Pandemonium
I am like 2-3 maps away from finishing the maps needed for the next update. I was having trouble with some of the areas of the Dormine Aqueduct but I got a burst of inspiration so I think the final set of maps there will be really cool. Then I just need to make the spa area, which I have decided is going to feature a goddamn MINIGAME. What is wrong with me? I don’t know!
The raptor TF is also written and I have contracted Dias to get the TF comic under production. Hopefully both the new TFs will have their comics ready before launch.
I’m going to try to knock out the maps ASAP, might not work on the minigame immediately. You’ll earn a Skill Catalyst if you get a good enough score and I want a stupid bonus image where Sanya high-fives Raelynn (for making her a ton of money).
I also really want to get started on the 3D editor for WoR but, alas, my obligations are to get the next RoP update out ASAP SO PEOPLE LEAVE ME ALONE.
Also there’s gonna be new hunting mechanics in the Old Capitol Grounds :3
Wherein I Answer Questions
“Hey Salty what’s with the ‘Reveal’ button there?”
It apparently lets you see traces of who sent something anonymously, a feature I honestly don’t want because you should be able to ask questions anonymously! Get rid of that!
