When we last met, we shared some exciting updates from our time exhibiting at Play NYC 2021, and shared all the work that went into ensuring the exclusive build we prepared for the convention was in tip-top shape and ready to be played. Concept Art. We ultimately ended up choosing the first option to include on the character in game.

In addition to indoor items, Nasahara was also in need of a few structural pieces to help further build out the eerie, abandoned nature of this once-great, sprawling city. We're pumped to get this into the game build once all five are completely finished. Concept Art. Level Design.

Concept Art. As part of our demo overhaul, we recently welcomed a few new team members into our motley crew in order to help us better establish the dark-fantasy vibe we're going for—including the newest member to our Concept Art team, Harold. Curious about Harold's process for building out each concept's composition?

And among the video clips there's an awfully convenient ratio of raw behind the scenes rehearsal footage vs. expensive finished setpiece production footage -- which gets a sort of wink wink lampshading treatment, but still dispels a bit of the otherwise strong "this is how movies get made" magic for me. A high concept with a high execution.

Here's how it works: each month, we share all the progress every branch of development has made as they collectively work towards completing Kristala's vertical slice—from stunning concept art and 3D models to custom animations, level design, and everything in between.

As a general concept teleportation technology exists in quite a few varieties throughout the world of Cogmind, though the player only has access to some of them. In fact I have two new concepts for teleportation tech, which is kinda funny because of how they evolved out of the same idea.

After fiddling around and running some tests, Will was able to make it so that the character can effectively roll through various environmental objects - like the barrels shown in the clip below - to destroy them. link] After tackling that, Allie focused on bringing some fun new enemies into the Kristala game build.

In fact, I was unsure throughout the entirety of building the system, which made it rather challenging to work up the motivation to power through a lot of what needed to be done (I normally need to see a clear goal to help with that!). This reflects the concept that all such parts are interconnected with the Scrap Engine and other constructs.

This concept of “secret” doesn’t really make sense in a strategy game, contest, or a puzzle. Developers (or producers) feel like they cannot justify building content that most players won’t see. It also is kind of hard to do, practically, in tabletop games (although it is possible !).

However, even back then, Chinese players would spend a substantial amount of money in microtransactions which, thanks to a massive gamer population, were driving multiple franchises above the annual billion dollar revenue mark, making the free-to-play model the only way to build a viable business.

Can we build a sex dungeon that would do Jane Jacobs proud? As in Skyrim, my animations are charmingly janky, with penises occasionally clipping through eyes and noses, or even through the back of the skull entirely. Building up huge group sessions is the key to completing later levels. L of semen as upkeep for each person.

We won’t be using it directly, but instead we’ll build specific movement types on top of it, such as Walk Movement, Fly Movement, and Teleport Movement. So, before we go anywhere, we need to build out a list of tiles in the correct order. Start off by defining a class_name. This will let our other movement types inherit it.
