We hope everyone is enjoying spring! Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past two months.

Ziacia

We finished adding all of the NPCs to Ziacia! Not only does this complete the city itself, but it also wraps up adding NPCs to all of the cities, towns, and other structures around the game! We will likely have more NPCs to add as we add side quests and other fun goodies, but for now it’s done! Here’s a few of them:

Kershuffle

As a quick recap – we made a mini-game for Gataela during Pirate Jam 16 named Kershuffle! In April Gamemaker posted a feature of the games made during Pirate Jam and we were included! We added some words about the development so please check it out!

Other Misc Things

We don’t really have anything visual to show yet but some other work done include:

• Began creating and adding SFX for the remaining TTBattle Skills
• Finished designing all of the in-game Kickstarter backer custom NPCs
• Created some cutscene-specific sprites
• Working on creating custom boss sprites
• Began working on Kershuffle sprites to port into Gataela

What’s Next?

We’ll be a bit all over the place for the next few months as we try to get a variety of things complete. Roughly speaking we’ll be focusing on:

• Finish adding all Kickstarter custom rewards
• Continue & hopefully finish SFX for TTBattle Skills
• Creating Kershuffle sprites for Gataela
• Redoing the water shader and updating all of the maps with water on it
• Other general polish & visual improvements

Have a great spring and start to summer! See you in July!
