HEY YOUSE GUYS
We're still chugging along! Summertime is always a little hectic, but we've all been chipping away at the stuff that's left to be done. As far as story goes, it's been an easy one to write for so far; the main challenge is keeping it short. As much as I think you could have hours and hours of fun with this thing, I also know most people don't really settle in for long-form media on NG all that often. The good thing is, if you like it, it's not too hard to expand on stuff, at least from a writing perspective. I've gotten my hands on our level editor, and from what I can tell, it wouldn't be too hard to gradually add gameplay content as well.
Environments are getting fleshed out; I tend to spend too long on this type of thing, but I like doing it.
You're gonna have to play to figure out how she gets from there to here:
SO ROBOT DAY IS HAPPENING
and it's something we've loosely had in mind from the onset, saying that it'd be cool if we could release during the event if we could. That was before we knew for sure if and when Robot Day would be this year, since it bounces around. Thankfully, it's scheduled for late August, which makes getting this thing done by then a realistic goal. Am I making any promises? I am not. But if we can get it out by then, hoo boy, that'd be something. I'll at least confirm that I'm shooting for it. We're definitely bringing enough robots. Here, have a sneak peek at another one:
Wowza, I bet that's a pretty cool one. Guess we'll see!
Much love, talk soon~
