Dev Log #4

Hi everyone,

Christmas is coming to an end, and so is this year as well. It's been a crazy one, and most importantly, is the year where I decided to break from my shell and share to the world my commitment to create my game, The Darkness Within.

The "Origin Story" Poll

Over on Discord, I decided to create a poll asking if you are interested in seeing me creating a post about my year as a Dev: from where I came from (my first renders and how the character models looked like, as well as how the story took shape) to where I am right now. If you are interested, you can go there and answer the poll until the 28th of December. Now, about development.

Development Update

Things are moving pretty fast. The renders for the Prologue are almost done, but there's a difficult animation that will take me some time to finish. Also, there are two big scenes still in the Prologue that need rendering, but because of their importance in the story, I really can't wait to render them in a memorable way.

Overall I am pretty happy with development, and how I am getting faster at rendering scenes, and I can't wait to share to all what I am creating and hear your experience.

A bit of a shorter Dev Log this week. I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas and a beautiful Week.
