Yeah, I get it. I get things. :)Zelan wrote:Is his name Billy? Get it? 'Cuz he's The Kid?

Maybe 'The Kid' is his given name. His parents were unusually cruel. And their last name was Kid. :P

Mini Update:
I've been working on a website for Far-off Daydream Games, and speaking to voice actors, trying to put a trailer together. We have a preliminary voice cast assembled, so that's good.
I kind of feel like I'm juggling a few things at once, when it might be best to focus on one objective at a time.
Also, an awesome thing happened - I got permission to use a really nice spiritual song in this project. :)

Oooh, a website sounds awesome. ^_^ I'll be sure to check it out once it's up!LeonDaydreamer wrote:Mini Update:

It's good to focus on one objective, but some people work better when switching between a few tasks. Whatever floats your boat. c: Awesome news about the song, I look forward to hearing it in the game.

Yeah, but it prolongs your completion of said tasks. I think it's more rewarding to start and finish one thing, pat yourself on the back, possibly brag about it, and then move on to the next. :PZelan wrote:Oooh, a website sounds awesome. ^_^ I'll be sure to check it out once it's up!

I think the song is really nice, I'll keep its identity a mystery for now. :)

It's very polished, and everything is easy to find. Nice work!

Thanks Zelan! :)Zelan wrote:It's very polished, and everything is easy to find. :D Nice work!
I'm really happy with it. Note the responsiveness if you open it on a desktop and scale the width down to mobile phone size. I learned a lot about responsive design! Also, that there is no shortage of layout things to keep tinkering with and being OCD about, down to the single pixel - to get it just right...
Working on the first trailer now, I have 17 lines of dialogue to integrate with the visuals and music. It's coming together really nice so far!

Awesome job! ^_^ The voice actors did amazingly. And the music choice was perfect for setting up the tone.

It was really great working with the voice actors. It was more of a wishlist element for me for a while and mind you I haven't had to implement voice audio into the game yet (which I expect will be a ton of work!), but they definitely inspired me to do my best to get voice acting into the project.

Work in progress snapshot of Sam getting ready for work (you might not want to think about that on a Saturday :P ).

Mini Update:
Our composer is doing a great job putting some tracks together for the game.
Our BG artist is doing a great job on backgrounds (my original on the left, and the new one on the right):
And hopefully I've been doing a good job working on art for the opening. :)
