just published a new devlog where I mention the new steam store page, trailers, and huge progress on the first half of the game... it's so cool to have Act I of the game just... like... completed... such a strange feeling...

today I am nervously excited to announce that my passion project, Dungeon of Departure, is now listed on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4201140/Dungeon_of_Departure/

if you are at all interested, please wishlist, it helps visibility a ton! I also plan on giving away way too many free copies to anyone who expresses interest and asks nicely, play is more important than pay.

open this in a new tab and listen to it later when you're not busy scrolling... I made it... it is really good... good for your ears... good for your upside-down frown...

I was busy planning a wedding and haven't made much progress in the past 100 days, but ALL of the voicework and ALL of the character animations are done, LET'S GO!!!

the analytics show that no one clicked on the last #OST video I posted here, probably because social media users have low attention spans and just want to scroll, but I'm going to keep posting my #music because it's really fucking good...

I've made lots of progress in the last two months—including adding paid professional voice acting—and I think the game might actually be halfway done!!!

just published one of my favorite songs from my game... its melody uses a binary pattern of notes, and I would explain what that means but it's early and I haven't had my tea...

did you know?

you can code character animations for a dozen characters in #RenPy using **less** than 11,486 lines of code?

... because I sure didn't :)

yesterday I finished pixelling and coding the animations for the third and final main character of my #VisualNovel Dungeon of Departure

his name is Duro and he is an idiot...

just finished another background for my #VN project... I'm loving the foreground and background tones, but something about the green in the, uh, midground seems off... oh well...

here's what a year and a half of #PixelArt improvement looks like...

I finally figured out how to pixel hands...

#CharacterArt #PixelFed #MastoArt #OriginalCharacter #OC #DungeonOfDeparture

lately I have to do this thing with all the songs I make where it has to build up to this somber crescendo with a deep sense of regretful longing like I'm some sort of 19th century composer with tuberculosis on their deathbed trying to finish penning a sad but hopeful requiem as their last great gift to humanity...

I've finalized 3 #pixel palettes for my #PixelArt #VisualNovel Dungeon of Departure! LET'S GO!!!

1) normal lantern lighting
2) dim flame lighting
3) green otherworldly [redacted] "lighting" (spoilers)

so my game won't have an in-game map, but the player will have to make their own map (like on graph paper or in MS Paint) of the dungeon they're exploring based on the descriptions of the dungeon in the dialogue...

but I went ahead and made a map for myself, just for reference... I can't share the whole thing because spoilers, but here's a snippet:

I just published a new song from my VN project, this one is a classic, early-game, hometown type of theme, a bit twangy, and borrows its motif from the main theme... enjoy!

it has been one year since I started this #project and I think I'm about 25% of the way to the finish line in that time... but it is my hope that progress will pick up the pace now that it is cold out and I never leave the house... I am filled with determination...

#IndieDev #SoloDev #VN #RenPy #PixelFed #progress #GameDev #IndieGame #DungeonOfDeparture #Dungeon

I made a quick #animation to demonstrate my method of synergizing #CharacterArt & #BackgroundArt by using the same darkest color throughout... in the darkness of the underworld, I envision these characters blending in and out of the shadows, so hopefully this method I've developed creates some visual and narrative harmony...
