1st Update:

Library game is finished, it’s just being play tested by someone other than me, so I’ll be releasing that in the next couple of weeks.

2nd Update:

I’ve been writing a lot, I have a few short stories half written and I’ve made a couple of visuals for one of the stories.

3rd Update:

I’ve been gathering all of the 3D models I’ve previously made and adding them to an asset library (mostly mundane items like various chairs, lights, tables, clutter) – the kind of items that if you re-coloured them for a different project you wouldn’t notice too much.

It might make some projects a bit quicker and easier for me to make if I don’t have to remake a whole bunch of those kind of items, obviously every game will need unique items, but I think a microwave is a microwave, unless it’s a sci-fi microwave or something.

I’m a little disorganised, so this should make things a bit easier for me to access.

I realised I haven’t posted anything this year, so a very late happy new year! I haven’t had the best start, I’ve been pretty ill, I’m still unwell, but I’ve been able to do a bit of writing here and there.

I had flu which turned into bronchitis and a sinus infection, been stuck in bed for a couple of weeks, still have a nasty cough and headache, but I’m feeling much better than I was.

On the game front, before Christmas I was very close to finishing the Library game, which I’ve been working on a little bit (when I feel well enough) and it’s basically done, just checking for bugs and typos now.

The System is slowing down, I don’t know why but I’ve become unhappy with it, which is pretty annoying, I’m not really sure why I’m unhappy, so I think I’m gonna mess around with it and try to figure out why I feel this way about it, I’ll make a post about that when I have come to a conclusion. It will be made, I’m not giving up on it, I just need to figure some stuff out.

I haven’t updated in a while, I’ve been quite busy with work and game development. I’m hoping to update the website soon.

I was working on a Halloween game, however I started working on it too late and I knew I wouldn’t make the Halloween deadline, so it ended up turning into a three short stories in one game, that I’m now hoping to turn into a series; I love making short stories, so combining a few shorts into one, I think, is a good idea.

You can play it here: Tales From The Night Café – or search for it on itch.io

As for the other projects, the library game is very nearly finished; The System is still being worked on, but very slowly, it is a longer project, although I may split it into parts if it takes too long to make (I’m not sure yet though).

Updates

I’ve been working on two games mostly, as I’ve mentioned before, but I’ve switched my priority right now to the shorter game (the mystery about going into books.)

Here’s what I’ve been doing:

I’ve made a few changes to the library, it was basically two rooms before, now it’s a bit more complex. The visuals are almost completely finished, just a few more bits to do.

It’s taking me a little longer than I was hoping, but I am working on it as much as I can right now, hopefully it won’t take me too much longer.

Side Project

Posted on by Abstract in Fantasy, Games, Mystery, Point and Click

I’ve been working on a weekend project (mostly just on Sundays), it’s a fantasy themed, very Myst inspired (entering books and whatnot) point and click game, although unlike my main project, it’s a much shorter game; I have a name for it, but I won’t be posting it yet, I may end up changing it, you never know.

So far I love how it’s turning out; Like I said in my previous post, although I’m working much more on The System, I think this game will probably come out first, just because it’s much shorter and the story is much less complex.

It’s essentially about entering four different worlds inside books and finding out about the characters contained in those books.

Projects

I thought I’d post an update about the projects I’m working on, one mostly, but I have some stuff I do on the weekends when I have some spare time.

My main project is a game called The System, it’s a more traditional 90s point and click with a sci-fi setting. It’s a very story driven game, that being centered around murder and a bit of politics, it’s a longer game, so it’s a longer project.

I’m also working on a shorter game about finding the liar in a story, I don’t have much to show yet, I’m only working on it on the weekends here and there, but I think it’ll be out before The System. It’s also going to be a Myst style game, it’s somewhat inspired by the first Myst game, It’s probably going to be a 90s, low quality, pre-rendered, pixelated style again – in a fantasy/medieval setting.

I also have a couple of other projects planned that I’m writing, one of which is a hand drawn game (point and click – I only really make point and click games, as they are my favourite) which is going to be more colourful and a bit more light-hearted. I’m writing something else also, which is honestly a really weird project that I don’t want to say much about, but I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun to make… eventually.

Feet In The Snow

Posted on by Abstract in Feet In The Snow, Mystery, Point and Click, Reprobate, Sci-fi

I’ve been working on three (technically two, I’ve put one on pause) games, Feet in the Snow is a short two path unusual game, and The System is a longer sci-fi, sort of, continuation of Reprobate. The game on pause is Roumont Wine Club, which is a murder mystery.

I’m mostly writing The System while I work on Feet in the Snow, but now that’s finished I’ll be writing and working on the visuals of The System.

I’m just doing some testing and bug checks for Feet in the Snow, shouldn’t take too long.
