June State of the Game

Hey all! Hope you’re doing well. Just wanted to give a brief update.

The weekly NPC poll is up on Twitter until tomorrow (June 27) morning! I post these every Monday in case you want to get in on the action!

As far as the game itself goes, I’m still working on combat (particularly the animations). I’ve got some good reference pieces to work from now, so I’m excited! Other than that, progress has been a touch slow due to busyness and E3. If only I could work on the game in more than just my spare time!

Inspired by listening to the soundtracks to A Link to the Past and Secret of Mana, I started researching how to make/mimic SNES music. Apparently it’s much more difficult than making NES-style music! This is an experiment, so it could fail miserably, but I love learning about this stuff and giving it a shot regardless!

Finally, I’m traveling this week, so I’m not sure how much will get done on the game–could be a bunch or nothing! I’m heading to my best friend’s wedding and I have to keep him sane as best man. :)
