Captain’s Log#3 - Jan2022 (Patreon)

Greetings, Spice Seekers!
It's another Friday and time for another devlog update. We've been hustling on the game and let's just say we're making progress like there's no tomorrow. So, get ready for an update that'll knock your socks off! (And for those who want the short version, we've got a summary at the end!)

🔧 Technical Update

The team is delving deeper into the exciting realm of Unity shaders, exploring new ways to elevate the game's visuals. From experimenting with lighting effects to playing with colors, each step is a fun and rewarding journey. We're thrilled to see the game's world come to life in new and beautiful ways and can't wait to see the final outcome and share it with players!

We are also crafting a beautiful game interface, including elements such as menus, buttons, and other on-screen elements. From the main menu to the in-game UI, we're making sure everything is easily accessible and pleasing to the eye. We can't wait to see it in action 🤩

📝 Writing

Crafting a story for the game demo has been an incredible journey! We've been creating characters that are so real, they're practically our roommates. Their motivations are our motivations, their problems are our problems. For the demo we managed to carve out a piece of the big story that will leave players wanting more. Can't wait for getting a taste of our demo and seeing the effects of our work!

We've also been busy storyboarding and working on the game's intro cinematic. It's like we're directing a blockbuster movie. We've gone through so many versions of the script, we've lost count - currently we're on version 4 or 5, but who's counting? We're excited to see players' reactions when they watch the intro and get a feel for the story🙈

🎨 Art

Last month was all about character design, and boy, did we design some characters! Expect to meet these characters soon 👀

We also got a sneak peek at Farah's animation and let me tell you, it's mesmerizing! We'll be posting a closer look in a separate video, so you can see for yourself 👌😩

Farah is now looking at you (respectfully)!

🧠 Final Thoughts

It's only been three months of working on Soulgasm and we had our fair share of concerns and worries, like any team starting out. But we're happy to report that it's been smoother sailing than we ever could have hoped for!

None of this would have been possible without YOU - the amazing Spice Seekers who decided to support us and believe in our game development! Your participation and support have been crucial in bringing this dream to life and we're eternally grateful 🥰

So thank you, and get ready for an exciting journey as we continue to make Soulgasm a reality! Cheers!
