I didn't know how to feel about that scrambled text at first (it's a nice detail, but it kinda goes against the whole textless thing, and it's surprisingly legible), but then i realized it actually fits perfectly. Dropsy probably would know the meaning of that, but he can't read, so he doesn't know the actual words. Decoding it is like reading his memories (Or maybe i'm just reading too much into it, but i like that idea )

Decoding it is like reading his memories I wanted there to be something I could put on storefronts and signs and posters and stuff, so I made a glyph language similar to the Standard Galactic Alphabet from Commander Keen. It isn't immediately identifiable, so I figured it wouldn't be too distracting. It just bothered me to not have words on signs and stuff. I'm glad you dig it.

Looks freaky, but once you understand how it works you can actually read it. A little something extra for the readers who've put a bit of effort into figuring it out.

That was definitely another reason for my decision. Why draw a bunch of babble goop-text everywhere, why not make it actually mean something?

Is Dropsy of any relation to Herman of DOS classic FROCKS.EXE? Did he get hit on the head one too many times?

Howdy folks! I'm currently streaming some pixel art here: http://twitch.tv/jaytholen I'll probably be at it until midnight or 1 EST. :0) Afal posted:Well I have something to look forward for my birthday Looking good, can't wait! It's probably gonna be later now. :'( We just did a big assessment of where we're at and it's unlikely that we'll hit that date. Lots of work left, and all of the team but me has pretty time consuming jobs. I'm just gonna say april-may tentatively. Things are still progressing smoothly though.

Eonwe posted:one last thing - did those coloring books ever become a thing, and how can I buy one if so? Yeah, they're all designed and ready to print. They'll be printed and shipped in July because I currently don't have the funds to get em' printed at the quality I was hoping for. I also need to record the accompanying album of music still. Can't buy one yet, but I'll be sure to post an update when stuff moves forward.

Was that music that played during the gameplay clips gonna be the actual soundtrack? Because I was really, really digging it. Also good luck getting the game done ahead of deadline... but don't push yourself too hard! I noticed the prominently placed bottle of antacid in your video.

I should remove that because it totally doesn't work for me. I was just diagnosed with GERD and that was my pre-diagnosis effort to curb it. Yeah, all of the music is from the official OST. I love it so much. If Chris Schlarb doesn't win some kind of award for it I'm gonna cause a big ruckus.

I'm still very much excited for this game. I try to keep up with the updates which all have been awesome, very informative/interesting and overall well made/edited considering that just one person is dealing with all that work; I missed all the twitch live streams though. It seems that significant progress has been made. Keep up the great work -just don't overwork yourself.
