Iron Immortals Episode 017: Quick! Someone Taste my Ooze!

Video

  By

Sunrise rouses our heroes after their long, terrible night. They have one chance to nurse their wounds before they must venture deeper in the dark of the Verdwood. Soon, they will reach Semel Atsum and foil the plans of Jeanne Arquebus.

In the meantime though, they face the morning, and mornings are a time for consequences.

Reed oozes. Kaija oozes. Isolde undertakes a foolish experiment.

NEW INSPIRATIONS VLOG ON OUR PATREON!

This week’s update involved a lot of bug hunting and behind-the-scenes restructuring. This is problematic to show on video – even with my loose interpretations of “show – so we’re doing something a little different this week.

I’d like to introduce all of y’all to Duskers. It’s a phenomenal game from Misfit’s Attic. You should totes check it out on their website: http://duskers.misfits-attic.com/!

Next week I should be able to show the stellar exploration component I began working on this week, and I may be able to demonstrate why one particular backend fix is so cool.

We’ll be posting some more of these Inspiration videos as we go forward. Chances are, if you like the work that we do, you’ll enjoy these as well. And these games are already out. Bonus!

Isolde interrogates, Kaija goes on a walk, and Reed makes a sacrifice.

The Path of Peace – Development Log

NEW DEVELOPMENT LOG ON OUR PATREON!

Wow, this game is really… GROWING!

Hah!

The first pass of crop growing is in, and now the game persists from session to session. The full economic loop of the game is nearing completion. Once that loop is full, I can start expanding on the available items, add the conversation system, and greatly improve the whole exploration element.

Next week, I’ll be putting in money and – much to Ginrei’s surprise – real shopping. This should even give us a place to get more seeds, since that is currently all done from debug commands.

Ginrei Goes Shopping – Development Log

NEW DEVELOPMENT LOG ON OUR PATREON!

It’s been a busy week here at the Thimble. Our stellar engineer(s) and designers(s) have really given it their all. So much all that it almost seems like they’re not all the same one person.

Next week, I’m going to take a first swing at growing some crops, improving interaction clarity, and maybe storing information between sessions.
