The Newest Project

So, it's been a while! I've take some time off to recover from the amount of time spent developing the last game, then began with a new concept and reworking the event and text engines from the ground up.

About the project - I can't give away much yet.

• A much larger single level, driving an adventure style mystery. At least a few dozen NPCs, a dozen different landmarks, and multiple story paths to completion.
• The first of a three part series, with a target play-through time of 6-10 hours per episode.

To prepare for this, I've begun the following:

• Begun working with an actual graphics artist:
• Utilizing the newest Nine and Bepu sources for improved graphics and physics
• Created a powerful 3rd person camera extension tied to the the physics engine
• Rewritten the entire "event" system which drives changing game states, text events, level loading, and player interactions
• There is still a lot to do on this front
• Started the first portions of user options inside of text screens, so that users can select different behaviour.
• Cleaned and reorganized the base framework used to create a game

I'll try to keep some updates going in the future, but here are some teaser shots of the concept work:

More soon! Let me know any feedback :)
