The critical Artist

We finished up the last fixes on Into the Void for the Christmas Alpha testing. I also went haywire as every artist does and remade all backgrounds to another style.. It looks better :P

Almost Christmas

We are working away on our larger project that hasn't gotten a proper name yet. Harald is working on a minigame that is starting to play great and Kristofer is working on our main feature that is soon up and running.

I am finishing up the last things for our first world. I must say each world contains a whole butt-load of art assets. We have never made a game this full of content before, the 20mb wifi limit is loooong gone :P

This evening we will be finishing up the last things on Into the Void before we go on Christmas vacation.

Saturday slowday

We are working away on Into the Void today, it is a bit slow since there was open house on wednesday and christmas party on thursday. In conclusion, we are beaten down heroes this weekend.

I have been polishing up some backgrounds and effects while Harry is fixing up some bugs and adding some smaller features so we have something to show our families this christmas, we don't want them to think that we are playing around all day (even though we are).

Again, if someone wants to sign up as beta/alpha tester contact me at david@visualdreams.se

Clean up

We came to work today and Kristofer was halfway through a new feature (it is an awesome feature :P) and we then realised that our game coordinates differed from my art programs coordinates so we had to fix it. So this day have been filled with mind ****ing of mirrored models and wrong side cullings but now the game is alive and kicking again. It is coming together nicely, in a few weeks we will probably have a nice playable demo available for testing.

A new update for Slam Dunk Basketball surfaced this weekend as well (iOS) that reworked the ads (no more ads during gameplay, whoo) and it now supports Kiip where you can win rewards by completing goals etc.. Try it out!

Into the Void weekend work

We are today working away a few hours on Into the Void. I am working on a few special enemy types and Harald fixed some bugs and added a camera vibration funktion to the game. The list of features is shrinking steadily and it feels great. We tweaked the control a little bit as well, feels much much better now.

Friday

And it's friday again and it feels awesome!

We are working away hard this last day of the week, the programmers are implementing more features for our larger project and I am creating more art assets to fill out the world.

Into the Void has been played by our small alpha testing group and it passed, they liked it so we are going to go VisualDreams on it and make it real awesome before the larger beta testing group gets their hands on it.

If anyone would be interested in joining our beta testing group let me know, david@visualdreams.se. Our beta and alpha testes are always run on iOS (iphone, ipad, ipod) devices.

Have a great weekend,

Into the Void

We just announced one of our two projects, Into the Void. We are in the earlier stages of development, the best and fastest stage of development. Ideas are flowing freely, some are great and some are just pure crazy and undoable :D

We are currently working on getting all the gameplay elements working and getting the feel of the game just right. Therefor I am acting gameplay designer this evening and tweaking the hell out of waves, speeds and playing the game like a mad man to make sure everything is up to our standards.

Harald, our coder, is currently cursing the engine since it doesn't want to what he wants it to. As usual with engines that is.. He is (trying) to do an art code pass so we can have something else than dummy art flying around.

I must say, it is starting to look and feel like something awesome!
