Route Votes?
So we've been doing a back and forth on two routes for quite a while now and things are finally starting to pick up . What do you guys think of it? While it does help keep the story focus we also realize that it can get a bit tiresome.
We want to know what you think. Below you'll find a l...
2016-09-16 02:38:04 +0000 UTC View PostGame Resolution Vote
Hello all,
Lately we've been thinking about increasing the resolution of the VN. Originally it was set at 800x600, mainly due to the fact that that was the default and many other VNs were set in that resolution. Toki suggested that we increase the resolution to make his UI work easier, along with ...

UI Vote
Toki is still hard at work on the UI and has come up with a few more ideas to give the VN a more polished look. In the attachments you'll find the two concepts we have so far.
Idea 1: Sticking with the minimalist look. Idea is to keep the UI polished but make it as unassuming as possible.

It's been a good six months since the last patron-exclusive Q&A, so it's about time for another! Ask us anything in the form of a comment on this post and we'll answer the best we can while also avoiding spoilers.

So we're all hard at work on the next update. Hopefully this one is just as content-heavy as the update for Carl was. We'll also be seeing more sprites from Scratch and an illustration or two from Stranj. You should anticipate that this update will come out on the last week of this month. We'l...

What do you guys think of this different style of coloring? I attached Carl's old sprite to give you a reminder of what our usual style of coloring is like. Keep in mind the new sprite isn't fully finished (namely the black lines), but that should give you a solid idea of the style.

2016-06-28 08:55:15 +0000 UTC View PostCarl Revision
We always felt a little something was missing from Carl's sprite, so we went with a longer muzzle-look. Aside from the missing "stoned" expression (still working on it) , this may be what we go with for Carl's final sprite. Do you guys like it?
2016-06-25 07:42:59 +0000 UTC View PostNew Leo
Sorry for the long silence guys, but we're starting to get back into the swing of things.
One thing we're working on is a redesign of Leo. We always felt he was a bit on the lean side even though he's described as thick and beefy. Here's a little sketch to give you an idea of what we're going ...

Hey guys!
Because it's finals week the next demo will be postponed until the 15th of May. Sorry for the delay, but we plan to push out more frequent updates as we head into the summer. We have a lot of exciting stuff happening in the next few months, so stay tuned!
April Update
Just a quick update on what's going on.
We're currently hard at work on the continuation of Leo's route. We're also updating Carl and Leo's sprite, namely Carl's face and Leo's body; we'll post the results soon! In the meantime take a look at Stranj's main menu art above. Also attached is...

And here it is! The main menu art completed by our CG artist, Stranj.
You'll notice that Leo's color scheme has changed so that he more closely resembles a red wolf. Also, as a special treat for you Towny+ backers you get the full-res version of the image in the attachment, which likely w...

Main Menu Art WIP
So we listened to your feedback on the main menu art concepts and it seemed unanimous that everyone liked the second image, so here it is! Stranj should have the piece finished by next week and you guys will be the first to see it.
In other news, we apologize for the delay in bonus stories. An...

So we're doing things a little differently this time. This demo includes the new sprites along with a new UI designed by Toki. We're hoping you guys can play through some of it and let us know about any bugs you find.
These sprites are NOT final. We want feedback. Let us know what you thi...
2016-03-01 01:10:44 +0000 UTC View PostMain Menu Art
Stranj has started on his first drawing which will be the main menu art. Here are two concepts he drew up. We're leaning towards doing the bottom one because we feel that it reflects the intimacy, along with the isolation and loneliness of Echo. The team is also working on a new UI along with new ...
