Denizens of the Serpent Moon

Summary: In which three snakes are made; "updating effects" are updated; a new undead foe is implemented; and the design-doc is worked on and expanded in a number of ways.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot is again an animated gif, showing a new enemy (albeit using an old model):



The week just past was an active one, I do feel, with work being done both in implementation and concept:

A Tilted View

Summary: In which time off continues; a lawyer is spoken with; the urge to develop grows stronger; an experiment in perspective is conducted; some concept-work (and a bit of writing) is done; the flow of a level is considered; an idea towards a technical issue is had; enemies may break breakables; and one more publisher-response is received.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot is an animated gif, showing some experimentation with rendering perspective:



The week just past was another one of time off--but (as the above gif may suggest), also one in which I started to get back into development:

Waiting, Resting, and Considering

Summary: In which the wait continues; one response is received; a matter of the camera-view is considered; and concept-work is done on certain moons and their solar-system.

Greetings and salutations!

As I mentioned last week, I believe, I'm taking a bit of time off at the moment, and as such there is no screenshot in this post.

However, I did want to take a moment to give a quick update:

A Respite at a Milestone

Summary: In which a milestone is reached; bug-fixes are made along the way; and a bit of a rest is called.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows, not a view of the game itself, but of an excerpt from an email that I sent out in the week just past...



As you can see, the week just past contained a major milestone, I feel! ^_^

The Build-Breaking Bug

Summary: In which pitch-preparation calls for various fixes; a technical issue interferes with the game-specific content system; and the dragon boss-fight sees work.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot comes not from the game itself, but rather from its (non-public) demo-page on itch.io:



The week just past was... well, one primarily of patching up various things in preparation for pitching, I feel!

Sounds Good!

Summary: In which a wait continues; another wait ends--and thus brings new audio; demo-packaging has begun; the pitch looms; and a boss-fight is (in part) prototyped.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows (in part) a start to the prototyping of a new boss-fight:



The week just past was a fairly active one--and one that brought a significant milestone--I feel:

Continuing Motion

Summary: In which waiting continues (in part due to a delay); a bit more saving-and-loading is implemented; intentions regarding said wait are outlined; and another matter keeps me busy nevertheless!

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows a moon, just after having been properly loaded to its former position:



The week just past was again a slow one, one primarily of waiting. But even so, and even with NaNoRenO done, I wasn't idle I feel!

A Meeting and a Game-Jam

Summary: In which a meeting is set with a lawyer; submission from the contracted audio-engineer is awaited; and NaNoRenO concludes, and my associated jam-game is done!

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot is... not actually a screenshot of Moons in Crystal! Instead, it's a screenshot of my NaNoRenO project, a short, branching, narrative-poem visual novel called "Into the Aether"!



The reason for there being no Moons in Crystal screenshot this week is simple: it was a very slow week for that project:
