Status Update (Amity Park)
🕑 Added 2019-11-10 23:41:20 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone, the following is a status update on the current affair of things. Around now, we’re finally crossing the threshold of being able to put everything together for the next update. We like this point in development, where we can kind of actually say that things are coming together rather nicely. It’s a good state to be in for a dev.
As many of you know, the next update’s going to deal with Ember McLain and her wild and enchanting music. We’re really looking forward to showing you what we’ve got planned for the episode as a whole. However, we do want to now mention, officially, that Episode 7 will indeed be split up into two parts. Meaning half the content will be finished and added later on. This helps us actually get into a rhythm of releasing content in a timely (enough) fashion. We’re hoping you understand this situation.
On a more positive note, more background redesigns are being added to the game in a whole variety of different areas. This new style is to help improve the overall look of the game, to reflect a greater authenticity to the show’s original design style. Pictured is a future background (without any of the lining detail or major visual alterations added to it just yet) to show you what we’re hoping to shoot for with most backgrounds going forward from now on. We believe that this style will not only help to create a greater Amity Park for players to explore, but to also make future production much easier and faster to work in. Might take a little more time to get a whole new map rigging system set up properly, but we’re thinking big picture here.
If any of you guys are at all curious as to see the types of planned areas for the game, check out this Mind Meister page to see a whole charted out map pathway for Amity Park. A tip: it’s hard to have your computer navigate the map with everything open at once, so consider only opening up one large tab at a time for convenience's sake. Most of these areas/backgrounds will be based upon the actual show, but of course, sometimes liberties have to be taken to get something quality made. Also keep in mind, that some of this stuff couldn’t be further from happening soon, so don’t have expectations set too high just yet.
Anyway, as you all pretty much know, the Team Bieno gang has stopped putting out ETA’s for most updates. But just know that things are going swimmingly and that we won’t ever have the same 5-month release window like how Episode 6 was. Even with our additional work on Breeding Farm, which you can check out here if you haven’t done so yet, we’re chugging along just smoothly.
(Also, stay tuned in the near future. We’re going to be talking about some things related as to what we decide to do next for Amity Park, after this update. It’ll either be the simple continuation of Episode 8’s storyline or, something even more… phantastic.)
Oof. Blame Morah for that pun.
