Last month we've mentioned that we didn't want to provide any info on the release date until we can pull it off, but we'll at least tell you the obvious news: Visage won't be coming in 2017. There's still quite a lot of work to be done, but the end is nigh!
Animations
This week we were in Québec city, recording our animations for the game. We're still alive, believe it or not, after the amazing professional stunt animation recording session at Squeeze Studios. Doing back-flips and ninja moves and all that (there wasn't anything all that impressive, really). Basically, we've recorded pretty much all the animations we'll need for the game, which is an amazing thing. Check out Jonathan Vallières in his suit in this magnificent picture. What a sight!
Overall progress
There isn't anything incredible to announce this month, so we'll simply update the "very concise" list of what's left to do that we've posted in October so you have a general idea of what we've done this month, and what's still to come. Here goes:
Please note that this list is only here to give a general idea of how things are going, it's far from being something "official" and precise.
- Animation integration
Everything is ready, we just need to plug the official animations in
- Voice acting integration
We started the process, but haven't focused on it yet
- Final environment designs
Big time consumer, done at about 90%, soon to be finished
- Gameplay Scripting of the very last section of the game
About 30% done (we needed to finish most of the environment first), soon to be finished
- Gameplay Scripting of additional random events
Not in focus at the moment
- Achievements (including Kickstarter's Achievement Designer package)
Base structure done, ready to dive in.
- Some of our Kickstarter's Event Designer package events
In progress, but not in focus at the moment
- Tweaking of the completed sections
About 60% done earlier this month
- Quality assurance / debugging
Always in progress
