So- since last we met...
🕑 Added 2019-11-06 02:25:00 +0000 UTCThe greatest of our energies at the home office have been spent refining interiors.
Boring on the outside...
But a heck of a lot more complex, on the inside.
Over 80% of the interiors that will be featured in the game are under active development- about 5% are more or less complete.
On the backend, things are progressing rapidly - every day, we're attacking the next alpha on a dozen fronts. Here's a shot of the new and improved seagull flocking AI in action:
Again, it's just amazing to have such skill on our team! We have also begun recording some of the custom music & VO for WISL, the island's radio station.
More artwork for leveling cards is in the works - but I'll hold off on sharing a bit of that, until perhaps next week.
Now, as many of you might know, the unofficial theme of the Peace Island project is VNV Nation's "Perpetual."
So much so, that we commissioned a Maine bluegrass remix of the song by Adam Shortsleeves, a musician from Bangor.
The reasons for this are many, but can be summed up simply in that the lyrics are the instruction manual for Peace Island:
HELLO, AND THANK YOU FOR PLAYING PEACE ISLAND, A GAME ABOUT CATS.
1: Find it in you, raise your eyes - Look beyond the place you stand, towards the furthest reaches and to the smallest of things.
2: The sound you are hearing is the symphony of what we are. Revelation will not come with your heart and mind closed and divided.
NOTE: No need of sun to light the way.
- Across the ages, we have reigned as we endured.
- Through the storm fronts we will ever surely pass to stand as never ending light.
3: Throw away the mantle, awake from your uncertain hesitation. No way to describe or equate the feeling, no end to what is at your command.
4: A million thoughts run through you, concentric circles, ever greater. But you have always known that this is not all there is - to your questions there'll be answers.
Let there be, let there always be never ending light: WASD to move, spacebar to jump.

Thanks, my whole family is looking forward to this game. :)
Is the final release date a floating target? Or are you hoping for a specific day?

Hi- thanks for your support! The next alpha will be released within a week- everyone who contributed will get an alert!
Very nice! I also have a question. Is there a link somewhere for the alpha download?
