Weekly Update - 2-9-2020 (Underwater Deep Soil music, 5th area tileset preview, small stuff)

Added 2020-02-10 01:21:10 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone, very small update this week; I spent most of it doing basic stuff like working on level design, fixing bugs, and stuff like that. In general, development of v0.38 is winding down, so there probably won't be much in the way of exciting stuff to show off between now and the release. At this point I'm mostly just waiting for CGs, H-scenes, and voice acting to be done so I can implement them all, and until that point I'm expanding level designs, tweaking balance, and updating various things around the game.

Up above you can listen to the underwater variant of the Deep Soil theme; like other areas in the game, this variant track will play instead of the normal theme in certain areas (specifically while you're underwater, who would've thought). I honestly can't remember if I've shared this track before, but if not, there you go - you'll be able to hear it ingame in v0.38, since underwater exploration will finally open up.

I'm also starting to mess around with a tileset for the 5th area, the one I shared a music preview of a while back; Puffernutter still hasn't had time to work on the tileset, and since my personal workload for v0.38 is getting pretty low, I decided to try it out myself. It's still lacking details and polish (and a proper background), but here's a small preview of what I've got for it so far.

I'm happy with the direction it's taking, so at the very least, I'm hoping I can get it to a good concept stage and have Puffernutter come in and add the finer details later.

Alright, that's it from me for this week. Sorry it's a smaller update, but there's just not much to share from my work, and I expect it to be similar in the following weeks until v0.38 comes out. As always, though, if you want to see what kind of stuff I'm working on, you can check out my streams on Monday/Wednesday/Friday at https://picarto.tv/Anon42 - the last 12 streams are automatically uploaded as VODs, so you can also watch them after the stream is over if you can't make it to see them live.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and I hope to see you at the streams!
