Progress Report #99: January 2024
Hi everyone,
Your weekly dose of VoidBound progress is here! Let's plug into the update and see what's been sizzling on the development grid.
This week our artist designed an array of fearsome Battlers that will rove the halls of the Tripteen dungeon! These menacing new sprites are also equipped with unique skills that will wreak havoc on the battlefield if Caly decides to cross blades and bullets with them. Be warned, spacefarers, even the seemingly harmless might pack a surprising punch!
Additionally, sketch work has also begun revising certain facets of the final showdown. Specifically, a re-imagined event is being concepted in the event Caly loses the climactic fight to the dungeon's final boss. Details are still a bit sparse at the moment but, stay tuned for updates as more develops in the coming few weeks.
Meanwhile, our wordsmiths have been delving deeper into the lives of the Tripteen villagers. While only a few crossed paths with Caly in the original, each one of them had their own personal arcs and interesting history. Question is though: Do we stick with their established pasts, or do we expand and breathe new life into their narratives?
Reason being the planned additions of side quests in the revamped version of Tripteen. A lot of these will originate as requests from the native populace, and will have the player delve into the dark recesses of the underground dungeon. To that effect, we want to make sure that the original lore and the planned new progression text flows smoothly in tandem.
Finally, our coders have started laying the foundation work for the upcoming update. With the maps finalized, story fundamentals concepted and the baddies now crafted, we have all the elements necessary to kickstart the initial building process, including transferring over the original enemy scripting and fine tuning it further.
And that is all for this one. We'll be back soon with more news from Voidverse so until then, take care and stay awesome!
Kind Regards,
Cursed-Atelier Team
