A Cutscene Scored

Summary: In which music is found; a cutscene is scored; sounds are added; conversations support voicing; the font-search ends; climbing is polished; inventory items may be lost (intentionally); an object is moved; and most bugs are small.

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's "screenshot", another video--this time of the intro. cutscene, now with (possibly stand-in) music:

The week just past was full of a variety of tasks. The main ones were perhaps those related to music, but there were a few others that are perhaps worth mentioning, too:

Quest for Music (and a Font)

Summary: In which music and fonts are sought; only one of the former succeeds; music-logic is updated; "stuns" gain some "impact"; sound-effects are improved; and a visual effect isn't done yet.

Press Start?

Summary: In which a trailer is revealed; the website is updated; a press-kit is added; music is sought out; and a bunch of bugs are fixed.

The trailer above is the short version; an extended version--which makes use of a bit more of the trailer-music and shows a bit more gameplay--should be linked-to in both its description and end-of-video annotations, I believe.

The week just past saw a start to marketing proper, I suppose--as well as a continued search for music, and a fair bit of bug-fixing. Let me elaborate:

Rise of the Bugs

Summary: In which shadows are experimented upon; bugs rise up in numbers; combat sees tweaks and changes; and a trailer is under way.

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshot, a few excerpts from a trailer that I'm working on:
