Welcome, Watchers and Newcomers!
Kickstarter Update
The third day of the Kickstarter is over and it's still going strong. We're JUST hitting every milestone that we need to hit, but it's still REALLY close! If you haven't had a chance to back yet, head over now and become a backer!
For the campaign to have a chance, we still need to be hitting about $266/day. So far we've done it and it's not impossible to keep up, but if everyone backs a little bit or passes on the word or posts about it somewhere, it can happen faster than you know!
Steam Greenlight Update!
Thank you to those of you who have already gone over to Steam and voted to support the game's release there. I'm excited to say that in just under 3 days on the service, we've already received almost 400 "Yes" votes! We've still got a long way to go, but this is a truly great start! If you want to give it a "Yes" yourself, head over and vote now!
Concept Art Progress! New Sprite!
While all of this is going on, I'm sending out emails to press and trying to get the game more visible, but I'm still hard at work making the next levels of the game and fleshing out this world! In the last update I posted some new concept art. One of the pictures that I posted was for a soul type called The Flatterers. These souls are mired in eternal filth for spreading polite lies during their lives.
Today I spent some time taking the original pencil sketch for them and progressing to a final sprite for the game:
Much like the shivering souls, these poor guys need to be freed along your journey out of Hell. As much as you don't want to touch them. Sam will hate it if you leave them behind. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it. You. Specifically you. You have to grab these poopy dudes. Yuck.
If you like the art style and you want to know more about how exactly I go about the process of making something like this little guy, then head over to the latest Kickstarter Update where I go into detail about it and become a backer!
As always, thanks for reading and take care!!!
