Devlog 39

Continuing to move along the plan. The art for the new scenes is done — cut, rigged, animated, exported to spritesheets, and prepped for import into the game engine. Same goes for what was done last time — all the new characters are animated, all the art is ready for import. I've attached images below.

New characters:

I had to repeat this for each character by hand. 18 times, lol.

Characters are ready for import.

Props are also ready for import.

Extra:

I'm trying to set up a Steam page. Only the document verification step is left.

Because of the sanctions, all of this feels more like some kind of spy novel — same as working with all the other platforms, really. So many obstacles keep popping up along the way…

Overall, I get the feeling that I'm smuggling weapons like in the Nicolas Cage movie Lord of War (a pretty good movie, by the way — watch it if you haven't), rather than developing a small, fun game. Paying bribes, sailing under foreign flags, registering in foreign jurisdictions, taking risks, dealing with shady characters… It's just insane… I hope all of this ends soon, and I can focus on nothing but development.

Future plans:

• Integrate the art into the engine (assembling scenes, camps, NPCs, merchants)

• Set up the Steam page, if they actually let me through

• Finish the remaining stuff and prepare a build for playtests, which I hope you'll take part in

Thanks for staying with me, guys. You're the only reason this doesn't feel completely insane.
