Therefore – Demo in progress (IV)

Working on main menu. The design is retro, simple and minimalist, according to the game’s style itself.

Crisis Crunch – Little pieces of music

Do you want to know how Crisis Crunch sounds? We give you these two tracks of music to catching the idea.

From the distant land where the Wanderer awaits, here it is a new video of his adventures. Where is he? Is it a castle? What he needs that bottle for? What will happen after meditating? The intrigue around Therefore world continues…

Did you think we forget you? Oh no, we are here, working. This video is just for you our dear followers. Hope you like our menus, because we are very proud of them.

Remembering International Game Day

Maybe it is a far away, but we are sure you would like to know that last November a representation of Trim Tangle went to the library to make an speech about videogames. It was the International Game Day@ your library, organised by the ALA (American Library Association) and we coudn’t let the oportunity pass.

Our companion Diego (helped by David on the technical assistance) showed to the audience some things about what is behind a videogame, what you need to develop them, and some examples of what he was telling.

We think people was happy with the new information we provided to them (they asked some interesting things at the end of the speech) and even the librarians were very excited to have us there. Hope we do something more the next year, even with other indie developers in our city. See you on November 19th.

Here you see Diego showing some videogame. Good examples he brought (sorry for the image quality).

Therefore is taking so much time of our lives… And everything is son disturbing and strange. We can show you for the moment those criatures. We could call them the forgotten people. Uhhh. Are you scared? I hope so. You wouldn’t like to find them in a dark spot.

We have also finished other characters, one of them so big that you could think of it as if it were a scene (or at last this is what our designer say). The real scenes are in progress. Hope we could show you something of them the next time we post a post.

Finally we can tell you we have the first group of sounds to enrich the game and also the musical theme for the demo. This is going the right way, we know!

Crisis Crunch - Working on a scenery

Hi all! Here we go again. Did you miss us? Of course you did. You must know we are working hard and that’s the reason we didn’t show up lately. Well, you are going to tell us now that we are saying everytime the same thing. It is true, we can’t lie to you. So we will repeat it again: WE ARE WORKING HARD. A demo is this and an indie development it is so long…

As you can see, now there are new scenarios and animations. We are assembling characters and interactions and we have finished the dialog system (at last!). We have also many effects as the one we show above, or even the one bellow.

Although there is no music in those clips, we can tell you we have 4 themes (in their beta mode) and every sound needed is in our power. Next step, the world!

Therefore - Haikus

When we don’t work on Therefore, sometimes we do other things. Occasionally, our colleagues Diego and Rodrigo writes and designs these haikus related with Therefore universe (if you follow us on the social media you must see them yet). They are so dark, with so intricate meaning. I know. You must see beyond all the ordinary things and let your imagination flyes. Hope you like them.

Crisis Crunch – Demo in progress (II) and Mallorca Game

We are still perfecting some aspects of the game for the demo, as long as we develop others. For example, we are working on the walktroughs and different options of animations. We are revising some interfaces too. That implies efforts from all the Crisis Crunch team to make this changes consistents with the whole.

It’s taking many time to adjust the dialogues. On the one hand we are constantly looking over the writing. Crisis Crunch is a game where jokes and word games are very important. Every line is got to be perfectly written. On the other hand our programmer David is working on the dialogues system. It implies some options as: changing the character during the conversation, turning back on the option dialogues, animations while the character is speaking, the selection of options, etc. He is also developing a generic positioning system. Crisis Crunch has a lot of scenes. Every character has to be exactly where he has to depending on the scene and the active characters. Now our system nows it how to do it.

Finally, we are glad to tell you that a few weeks ago we’ve been on the Mallorca Game, a little videogames and media exhibition on Palma de Mallorca. One of our coworkers who lives there, Dani, prepared its little space to show the people our work.

It was a very good experience. Althogh it is not a very big fair, it was a good way to make contacts, meet people, discover new things. Hope next year we could take more advanced work.

Crisis Crunch – Demo in progress (I)

Today we start a new section on the blog: demo in progress. As we told you before, although we didn’t make the crowdfunding some media and some people were interested in our work so… we would like to tell you about how is it going with the demo development.

At this time, all the animations of the leading roles are ready, as long as the NCP that will appear on the demo. You will like them! This we show you is a waiter at Starbugs (so clean and trustworthy). You shoudn’t mess with him…

Crisis Crunch - Character: Starbugs' waiter

Patricia and Diego are working on correcting a few scenes. Some of them are exclusive for the demo. We’ve just added a new member to the team, Rubén, to help us with this thing. Everything must be perfect.

We are also working on the menus: the main menu (just fot the demo) and the menu to select the characters. You can’t do anything without them! At the same time Dani is working on different interfaces and deciding with Diego about them and the typefaces. They are trying to set the priorities about the workflow.

As you see, this are just the first steps but we are doing them carefully.

PD: Next time we’ll write about Therefore.
