I am back 3 - More Art - Progress Report? Kinda?

Hi there!

So, um. It's been amost exactly one year since I last posted an update on this blog. Wow.
Where has the time gone? It feels like I blinked and then - poof - one year just passed.

I don't really have any excuse other than that I had some IRL stuff going on and then time just got away from me. To be honest, it has been a hot minute since I last logged into my RMN account. I've been kinda lurking, but for the most part I just haven't really had the time to interact.

I really am so sorry it took me this long to get back into the swing of things and finally give you an update on Lullaby.
But! I have great news!

The game is still being worked on!

This project means the world to me - and I am going to finish this game, I promise. I am too stubborn not to.



-

So, I have a few updates:

I've written out the script/dialogue for the final cutscene of the game completely (I think I may have mentioned in my previous blog post that the gameplay part is already done? Yeah, it is).
I have also already started with the eventing of said cutscene: I put in NPC movement, I've been looking for music that fits the mood and I also started adding the missing art to dialogue textboxes.

Yeah, you heard right! I got some more art.





I finally have gotten some more character/bust art from Niwa. While she's still not finished (the bust art for three more people is still being worked on) this has already allowed me to progress a lot.

I also put in a feature (if you can call it that?) that allows you to check your current objective and what objectives you have already finished.

I polished some cutscenes I thought were already finished with some sound effects and other little tweaks that I like a lot better now.

Originally I thought I was totally finished with the mapping for the game, but I also had to make another map for the cutscene that I had completely forgotten about.



This is so exciting! I am so happy to be working on this project again, I feel so giddy, knowing it's almost finished and that I can finally, after all this time, show you my first little game.

For more tiny updates and pictures inbetween, please follow the "official" Lullaby twitter.
I really hope you guys are still interested in this game and will give it a try once it is finished.

As always, thank you for your patience, your kindness and for reading through my rambles.

See you next time!

Bro we ain't paying you, you don't have to apologize for shit! You could spend a year sitting back and eating peeled grapes and that would still need no apologies, because you owe us nothing.

That being said, deffo excited to hear about progress!

Yeaaaah, you have a point. I just know the feeling of disappointment when you're interested in/excited for something and then it never gets updated or finished - and I wanted to aovoid that originally I guess ;;

Thank you so much!

Heh, yeah, definitely nothing special about that feature ("if you can call it that?") that allows you to re-check your objectives. Absolutely nothing special going on with that at all...

Great job keeping at it no matter how long it takes you to complete this project! And Niwa is a really talented artist, please tell her that.

Go you!

Nothing special. It's super ordinary. I don't even know what you are talking about.

Thank you so much. And I will tell her :) She'll be happy to hear that hehe.

I know what you mean all too well... My first ever posted game hasn't got an update for a long, LOOOOOONG, time and I feel really bad about it ToT
I always want to continue working on it, but one way or the other I end up not working on it at all... *sobbing in an angle*

First of all: thank you! My friend who does the art is super skilled and talented and just... amazig honestly. She is one of the biggest reasons that the game looks the way it does.

Aaaaah, so you get the feeling of guilt xDD
But I think it's normal to lose focus, especially when you're an indie dev and you have a job IRL and other stuff going on. Not to mention the panini which is screwing with everyone's mental health.

You're really welcome! :)
And yes! She's really talented!

Yes... I get the feeling of guilt all too often ToT
And you're definitely right when you say that as a indie dev is much harder to stay focused and find the time to work on a game. The most important thing is to do our best and love the game we are working on. I think with those two, all games are gonna be awesome. Never mind if released sooner or later.
