DevLog #57: January 2021 (Patreon)

Hey guys, I hope you're all well and safe!

So here's this month's devlog, a bit early as I may not be available in the next few days.

Light Fairytale Episode 2

Still working on it. I've completed the finalization of the 1st third of this episode - The Ice Maze - and even pushed a build to Steam beta and had one guy play this part. He liked it a lot!

I was expecting this 1st third to be completed in around one hour, but the tester actually spent around 2 hours! Sounds good as episode 2 might end up longer than expected!

I'm now working on the finalization of the 2nd third - The Ice Lair. It's the most complex part in term of backgrounds and battles.

Here's a new enemy that I've implemented recently, the salamander who attacks in packs.

I've also published the Anime teaser of this episode on YouTube:

Studio's Life

I've been publishing animated GIFs of my various projects on imgur since 4 years now!

You can check them out on my profile:

For fun, here's my most "played" games on Steam!

Steam has been my main play platform in the past decade. Did you notice the crazy playtime hours on my own games? :3

Dark Fairytale

I've setup a new 3DCG character this month too!

This is Rachel - the human version. It's the main character in my next major game called Dark Fairytale - still at concept/prototype stage.

Here's a 4K screenshot from the prototype of the title screen, which presents portraits of the main characters.

And here's this month's 4K wallpaper. This is the original 3DCG render of Rachel.

Finally, here's 2 concepts of the title screen and Rachel that I drew myself in 2013 and 2011 respectively. Yeah, I've been planning for this game since quite some time :3

And that's it for this month!

Next month, I plan to complete the 2nd third of Light Fairytale Episode 2, and hopefully start the finalization of the last 3rd. The release is still possible for Q1 - around the end of March though.

Again, thank you so much for your continuous support and patience. See you next time!

EDIT

It seems Patreon is now downsizing the images automatically. You'll find the original 4K versions in the attachments bellow. Sorry for the trouble!
