June Update
Hello backers! It’s Stephen from Nightdive with this month’s update.
It’s been another productive month so let’s get right to it!⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jonathan continues to bust out prop after prop for the medical deck!
While Matt is waiting on final art for interactables he’s been working on everyone’s favorite portable game console, the
GAME PIG! (working title!) We can’t share a ton of details right now, but our Game Pig will include an original game...
Here’s a very early prototype of controllable (proxy) sprites on one of our props. The Game Pig is really going to Rock, Man.
Chris is working on props, puzzles and some underlying tech to give our art and design teams flexibility when building new props. One of the features he’s developed is the ability to change tile set colors within UE4.
He’s also working on puzzles and how they will be placed and implemented into the levels.
Daniel has finished the Blockout of Level R and has been working on Level 7.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Robb has been working on re-imagining tiles from the original game. Here’s one of the doors and the updated concept from Robb:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And...the model/animation from Jonathan:
and finally...
Updated Cyborg Drone concept!⠀⠀
Survey...take 2!
We ran into a small issue with the surveys for the
CITADEL CREW MEMBER, CYBORG ELITE, and
HUMAN CORPSE backers. We wanted to send them through Kickstarter but realized that creators are only allowed to send ONE survey, which means that when physical goods are ready to be sent out we wouldn’t be able to send out an additional survey requesting updated mailing addresses. We’ve moved over to another service and will be sending those soon.
