The Friendly Necromancer Devlog[2]

Hello all! This week has been a rather slow week for this game. I celebrated my 31st birthday and took a little break over the week. I did however manage to implement a better camera system for the game. I wanted to have the option to be able to switch the camera to different objects in the game to hopefully help with cut scenes. That first cutscene will most likely be the first boss introduction. There is still the matter of updating the character sprite to make her look better. I have uploaded the games sprite sheet into the images so you can get a better image on the progress of the game. 

The Trello board has had a few updates to it and I'm still steadily working on the lore. I still hope to have a working demo for the first area hopefully by late summer, early fall. I can be a perfectionist in some areas so I want the game to reflect an accurate picture of what it's going to be like.  I definitely don't want the game to come off as misleading in any way. 

I have started the process to get registered on Steam as a creator this last week as well. My application is still pending but I expect an answer on whether or not I've been approved this coming week. Which leads me to my next point, I decided I didn't want this to be my FIRST game on Steam, instead I am working on a much smaller game, which will also have a lower price point, to use in order to test the waters, so to speak, on Steam. I believe that knowing the ins and outs of Steam prior to this game will give me a better advantage on knowing for sure what to expect. The game that will take it's place is a different rendition on Roll on Through, I liked the mechanics on that game and decided to expand on it. The name of that project is still in the works as some name ideas have already been taken and I don't want to cause any confusion. Expect an introductory Devlog on that game soon. 

In the meantime you can continue to follow the progress of this game in real time by checking out the Trello board below.
