Launch Day Has Arrived!

I’ve spent the last few weeks working on this new trailer, to go along with our launching on Steam Greenlight! Best to watch in HD or all our crisp pixels get all muddy and blurry…

>>CHECK IT OUT IN FULL QUALITY ON THE CRAWL PAGE<<

Awesome voice work by “old shrimp-eyes”, perfect music by Alex Yoder, and substantially less confusion about how to capture footage without ruining it by compressing it 15 times to get it into different formats by me!

Look it’s like a real game

The Greenlight page is launched just like all the real games I see articles about yay! If you think Crawl looks cool or you just feel sorry for us for having to spend so long cooped-up recording with “old shrimp-eyes”, then please vote for us! Help us get on the store so we don’t have to go back to making crappy iPhone games!

>>VOTE FOR US ON GREENLIGHT!<<

ULTIMATE HEADING!

I’ve been working very hard on our trailer and other support stuff for our Greenlight launch. The trailer is now uploaded to YouTube, just got a few loose ends to tie up and we’ll be launching onto Greenlight tomorrow!

Here is a random shot from the trailer- I call it “man scared of fish”…

Oh yeah, also we’re in the process of revamping the website! Some changes have come in, with more to come soon along with a revamp on the Crawl page… soon!

Questions over the pronunciation of “gif” make it hard to work a gif-related pun into this heading.

Anyway I’ve got some more gifs and some more ramblings about what we’re up to.

Stop the presses or some kind of internet equivalent!

I am posting things upon the blog!

Just the latest gifs I already twittered, so don’t go completely ham or anything… maybe go like 20% ham:

Barney’s captured some gifs of our eye beast, one of the tougher monsters you can play as!

It seems like ages

This is one of our newer guys doing his little teleport.

Capturing gifs is a good way to procrastinate when you have important stuff to do!

NOW WE’VE GOT A STOREKEEPER!! OH MY GOD!! NEWS OF THE WORLD!!

The old “pile of items on the floor of an empty room” system was pretty awesome, but I’ve finally done an art pass on the store and drawn a guy and some shelves and stuff WOOHOO YEAH!

He has a beard!

EXPLODED BOSS!

Death animation! Going to add some more layers of effects down the track- gibs/eyes/tentacles/chunks raining down at the end, lots of water splashes, and some more preliminary blood gouts at the start like he’s springing leaks, but this will get the job done for now!

He’s playing pretty well in-game now too YAY!

BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS… ANIMATED BOSS!

Just a sneak peak…

Here he is jiggling around in-game 🙂

Still lots of work to do, but he’s coming along nicely!

-Barney

BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS!

Finally time to fully implement the boss!

Slight redesign going on but he’s basically the same dude…

Lots of anims done for his different parts, can’t wait to see them come together in-game!
