This week at Lightstep Chronicles - March 13, 2019
Our game's most unique feature is also its biggest weakness: What kind of game is Lightstep Chronicles? We always announce it as a text-based adventure, and then the graphics throw people off. Everytime.

addedOur game's most unique feature is also its biggest weakness: What kind of game is Lightstep Chronicles ? We always announce it as a text-based adventure, and then the graphics throw people off. Everytime. It is a new breed of text-based adventure, but there have been similar games in the past. Mike Bithell's Subsurface Circular is a text-based adventure that feels like a movie, and it was a big inspiration to us during development. The cool thing is that when players enter either Subsurface Circular or Lightstep Chronicles , they don't know what to expect. It is mysterious! It's exciting! It's really difficult to market! We spent the past week making ourselves known across the internet – we now have an Itch page and a Game Jolt page. You can download the first chapter for free on either one of these sites .
addedDevlogAs promised, this is what we did in the past week: - been cleaning the playable build of the full game - edited the log file, sorted logs and log file indicators - set up optional AI dialogue - enabled free movement across the ship via Ship Map - animated additional AI emotions and set up their triggers across scenes - worked on endings and their implementation some more We also optimized textures and 3D models.
addedNext week, we will work onupdating the Save Game system - working on the audio and music, implementing a new sound controller - additional post-process optimization and lighting - polishing end scene graphics - additional in-game effects (particles and animations) 'Til next Wednesday, Take care!
