So Much To Do!

Posted by TheEnkian - November 6th, 2013


Good God, do I have a busy end-of-year. I've got a lot of projects, both games and otherwise, to finish or at least make good progress on. I keep saying that I think I've taken on too much and then as soon as I find a free second, I take on something else as well. At the same time, it keeps me from being bored, haha.

On the games front, I've got JUGGERNAUT II, Ender Story, Quick Quest and Mega Galaxy Force that I've got measurable progress on. The first three are nearly finished, all past the 75% mark (not including testing and sponsorship hunting) I'd say which is a definite positive. Quick Quest will probably be the first of those to come out as it's easily the smallest of the three. Mega Galaxy Force has a great working prototype at the ready. All of the basic platforming mechanics are there, jumping, attacking, climbing and being able to go to new maps. Enemies are the task we're working on at the minute and it'll add a whole new layer to the early maps that we've got ready.

I've also started work on a couple of animations that I'd like to get finished within my self-imposed deadline of 30 days from now. One is actually based on Mega Galaxy Force, it's a bit of a silly comedy sort of thing parodying Super Sentai/Power Rangers to match the game. The game itself is dialogue light so it doesn't give off a lot in the way of seriousness or comedy, but the animation is intentionally ridiculous. The other animation is a Pokemon parody regarding remakes of older games. It's poking fun at how, despite being a silent protagonist, the remake characters just feel so different from the early ones.

The final major thing that I'm working on with my friend/house mate is a game review YouTube channel. It's something that we've talked about doing for the past four months or so and we've finally gotten serious about it. We've written the first review, captured the footage that we need and are going to work on the final script tomorrow before sitting down and recording our parts. The voice overs for the footage will need to wait until next week when my new microphone arrives. We aim to build up a backlog of about four reviews so we can release them over a period of time while working on future ones. It'll give us a bit of time to get used to doing everything involved in it.

That about covers it all! Quite a big list of things to work on and hopefully finish (mostly) by the end of the year. Here's a screenshot from Mega Galaxy Force to round off the post.

So Much To Do!

I didn't know Jugg 2 was 75% done. That makes me feel better.

Well we've got (I think) all of the art, the voice acting (save for Matt's two lines), a number of the music tracks, the world itself implemented, over a third of the cut scenes, a lot of the menus sorted, battling well underway and achievements started.

75% seems like a good enough estimation. I'm sure we'll certainly cut the six or so months of Awakening down a bit, haha.

Might try and bump that percentage up ever so slightly and get sound effects done over the next couple of days :P

TOO MUCH

I know, right?
