End-of-August progress update
🕑 Added 2022-08-18 09:02:15 +0000 UTCGreeting alien lovers!
First off, we have an important announcement: The Symbiant's release date has been pushed to February 2023.
This new release date will allow us to really polish the game up while we're both dealing with our day jobs and family lives. Having said that, February would still be 2 months earlier than the hard limit we set to ourselves: April 2023!
Progress status:
- Writing & editing: 38/38 (100%)
- Character & BG art: 33/33 (100%)
- Programming: 38/38 (100%)
- Voice acting: 30/38 (79%)
- Audio engineering: 23/38 (61%)
- Quality assurance: 0/38 (0%)
Voice acting
We made good progress in terms of voice-over since the last update. For Danya and Juniper we are still missing about 40% each of recorded scripts. All of the recordings have been submitted for Brahve, and we're only missing a few retakes. Juniper's voice actress is still in the process of settling in her new home; we hope to receive all the voice-over we need by the end of the month. Kudos to our audio engineer who keeps chipping away at all the lines we're throwing at him as we receive them and select our takes!
Programming
Fable finally inserted the last scene scripts into the game! While this is quite the milestone for us, keep in mind that it's only half of the job, code-wise: we still need to code in the voice acting and sound effects, as well as code other parts such as the music room, re-doing our credit rolls, correct possible bugs, etc...
Beta: version 0.6.0
The latest available beta covers the game up to scene 23, right into the first route of the game! As usual, it is available for Kickstarters backers in the$160 CAD tier and patrons in the $20 tier.
