Glad to hear you're all settling in ^^. Grats on publishing another game. *hides from the flood of angry messages that always accompany publishing posts*
Blog post! Time to read! edit: Looks really good! Interesting game :^) The only thing that bothers me is that the sprites blend with the background too much.
Weee already can't wait for next week's post! Congrats on the new game you're publishing. Looks pretty awesome in concept~
Am I the only one who kinda of wished Starbound looked a lot more like this game, specially the props and backgrounds? I don't know if its the color schemes or the lighting but it seems neater and prettier... its hard to explain but it looks like it has more of a "soul" to it. Not hating on Starbound's graphics but they look a bit too much of a colorful and dreamy carousel after a while... Hopefully there will be mods for the textures just like there are textures for Minecraft. With that being said, this looks like a very neat and interesting game
Lol, this is a joke, right? You haven't posted an update in over a week and now you finally do, just to tell us about ANOTHER game that isn't Starbound? I'm glad the traveling is going well, but maybe instead of teasing a proper update for "next week", you could just keep us consistently updated when there's something to update on?
It doesn't have to be an utter copy... its hard to explain but I feel like, after watching this, Starbound is maybe a little too "cartoony". I know this sounds weird since they're cartoony games to start with it but... I can totally see Witchmarsh in different color palettes to look alien-y and still look better. Maybe its the backgrounds and the lighting... Starbound's backgrounds reeeeaaally need to improve.
I'll agree on the backgrounds however there are moments when SB's style shines through. Like when you find one of those miniature house biomes. Those are really unsettling yet compelling.
God***nit you guys, I just hurled my moneywell on Heart Forth: Alicia and NOW you show this? For shame, Chucklefish, for shame. It's nice to hear that you're getting your stuff together at the office side of things. Hopefully this will fasten the progress a bit.
Or perhaps we could find the best of both worlds and reach a middle term. Perhaps alien-y worlds should stay as they are, but those that are supposed to look a bit more like Earth, should have this kind of environment, landscape and lighting. Looks really fitting. I would even go so far as to abandon my "nomadic" ship-home tendencies and instead make my base in a planet like this!
