We are still alive!

Like the title says, we are still alive haha.

It has been more than year since we last made an update about our project. Well… like most people says “better late than never”.

Akreralis City: Thread Chaser has gone through several changes in the last year, from art changes to narrative changes. Currently the art of our project is no longer 2D, but rather 2.5D. This decision was made because I was experimenting with multiple prototypes out of mere curiosity and unfortunately in that same period a tragedy occurred (It wasn’t my fault btw). This tragedy caused us to lose much of our code in the project, so we had to start from scratch. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I presented one of my prototypes to the team and they loved it, this prototype consisted of making our entire project in a 2.5D environment with many visual improvements such as lighting, depth and various details.

Today our project is progressing very well and I hope that soon we will be able to present you with a demo so that you can experience the same emotion that we felt during development.

That’s all that i have to say for now. See you in the next update.

Best regards.

Who would say that making the character climb a ladder would be so difficult …

When they told me to make the character climb, I thought to myself “easy, when the character touches the ladder he goes up” But the character couldn’t just touch the ladder and go up, “what if the player didn’t want to go up the ladder and accidentally touches it?” Well, then the player has to press “E” or something like that. “What about the character that follows the player?” Well, I’ll make him stay downstairs. And so more and more problems arose. The gravity did not let the player go up, the animations did not fit, the character collided with the floor above when going up, that if its planet needed him and it went up to infinity and beyond. Anyway, what I thought would be a day’s job turned into a week’s job, but with a little ingenuity and Google, the character can finally climb a ladder.
