DevLog #80: December 2022 (Patreon)

Hi everyone! Here's the last DevLog of 2022 😁

Light Fairytale Episode 3

I've teased Miyu's Anime character sheet last month showing the draft, so here's now the final illustration 😋

Here's the draft of a dialogue portrait illustration for a new character.

And here's a W.I.P Anime cut. I'm planning to produce a teaser trailer early next month 😊

Light Fairytale Episode 3 is available to wishlist on Steam:

store.steampowered.com/app/2159170 

On a side note, similarly to Episode 2, Light Fairytale Episode 1 have been tested by Valve and is now Verified on Steam Deck 😉

Super Night Riders S1

I've worked mostly on it this month too.

Implemented a new view ahead option - up to x4 SNR 2016 🙀

New top-down view. I'm planning a new game mode based on fuel instead of timer using this view.

But the best new feature this month is the addition of playable cars 😁

I've been experimenting making Anime cutscene myself for this game. Here's a blink animation test of Alice.

Which is this month's bonus wallpapers - available in 4K in the downloads bellow 😁

One more W.I.P cut I made in Blender.

Not sure if I can produce something decent yet, but I'll try to make at least the intro then decide. Worse case, I could use it as a concrete planning to show to an actual Anime artist 😅

Studio's Life

I've recently started an Instagram account sharing my artworks. Please consider subscribing if you're using Instagram 😉

I've prepared a bundle including all of my downloadable soundtracks and artbooks at a very attractive price.

For console players, you can still get it even if you don't own the base games on Steam: steampowered.com/bundle/29418 

Finally, all of my games are currently heavily discounted on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation & Steam for the end of the year sales 🙀

neko.works/NS - neko.works/PS - neko.works/PC 

And that's it for this month, and year 😅

What's Next

Next month, I'm planning to publish a teaser trailer for Light Fairytale Episode 3.

Though, my focus will still be Super Night Riders S1 as it is close to release. I'll try to produce a teaser trailer for it too.

My plans for 2023

2023 will be an important year for me, as I'm planning to release 2 new games: Super Night Riders S1 & Light Fairytale Episode 3.

I'm currently on track for the release of SNR S1 in Q1 2023.

Unfortunately my plans for LF3 have changed due to the work on SNR S1 - now targeting a release for around the end of the year.

My studio "neko.works" will turn 7 years old this February. Famous game developer Hideo Kojima's studio "Kojima Productions" turned 7 this month by the way. So close 😁

Anyway 😅 Thank you so much for your support for one more year 😊

Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year 😁
