DevLog #81: January 2023 (Patreon)

Hi everyone 😊 Time for the 1st monthly DevLog of 2023 😁

Super Night Riders S1

Implemented a new volumetric clouds system, and wind animation for the clouds, trees, grass etc.

Experimented a bit more with Blender making a few cuts for the opening Anime.

Though, I've finally decided not to use these, and go all the way producing an actual Anime - just like for Light Fairytale, by the same lead artist 😋

So, here's one page of the storyboard...

And a few draft backgrounds..

Finally, here's a new version of the key artwork for the soundtrack of SNRS1. I've completely replaced the background.

Which is this month's 4K wallpaper - available in full resolution in the attachments bellow 😁

Super Night Riders S1 is available to wishlist on Steam, now more likely to release in Q2-2023.

Super Night Riders S2

Here's the Anime character sheet of Yoko - Alice's greatest rival and lead playable rider in Season 2.

By the way, the bonus playable character in S2 will be the mysterious girl - from the Light Fairytale series.

Light Fairytale Episode 3

As planned, I've published the first teaser trailer early this month, including a couple new Anime cuts 😁

Bonus, here's a photo of the editing process under close supervision of my boss 😅

I've received the final portrait illustrations of the new girl from the Capital City story arc - teased in the previous DevLog.

Light Fairytale Episode 3 is available to wishlist on Steam. Now planned for release around the end of the year.

Light Fairytale Episode 2

I've published a improved version of the trailer using the latest build - including the bigger font and a few different scenes.

This is mostly the same trailer as the Nintendo Switch launch trailer, but in 4K instead of 1080p.

Studio's Life

All of my Android apps are now available completely free of charge 🙀

On Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=6916911549280574670 

I've created a "sales" section on my website showcasing all the current discounts on all platforms.

What's Next

Next month, I'll be focusing on Super Night Riders S1 once again.

Though, I'll also try to progress on Light Fairytale Episode 3. Didn't work on it this month in term of level design, so I need to implement at least one new location.

That's it 😁

As always, thank you so much for your continuous support. See you next month 😊
