Wow. I can see why you haven't been active on FA as of late! The animatic you have for the intro is well done and the concept intrigues me. The way you have presented this game gives me an "Ori and the Blind Forest" type of vibe and I'm interested to see how this pans out!

Yeah we're getting that a lot hahah. Not a bad game to be compared to, I just started playing it because of this and it's gorgeous. I hope we can set ourselves far enough apart from it though.

Hue Vang did our animatic, his work thoroughly blows mine out of the water. It's a really unique experience to work with someone so skilled (he's actually a master's student and the rest of us are bachelors).

The skill shows. That's animation studio style quality and I'll be honest when I say I didn't expect that kind of quality coming from a Bachelor's Capstone project (having done that song and dance myself). I'm impressed that you're surrounded with as talented of a team as you have and I wish you nothing but the best!

Following on Facebook. Game looks fantastic.

Thank you, that means a lot <3

Glad to have another pair of eyes, hope we don't disappoint!

You're most welcome buddy. I'm very sure that you won't disappoint anyone.

i like the site, def gave the fb a follow

Thanks! Our PR gal cranks out some exciting stuff. I can't wait until we have more to put on it.

Very, very cool. Will spread this to my other gamer friends.

Wow, this game looks so pretty so far! Is it going to be released to the public? I'll have to pick it up, if so.

I did the same thing when I went to school for Video Game Design, but our finished product can't hold a candle to your WIP. My classmates were neither artists, nor coders, nor musicians, nor storytellers before signing up, however. I was the best artist, my teacher was the musician, and a couple of the guys learned to program well enough to get our game functioning, but as a collective, we weren't so hot lol. I wish I could go back to school and have a talented team to work with. It would've been nice to leave with something I could show people.

Is the music original? It's so lovely.

The music in the animatic is not, but a friend of mine will be doing our composition which I am really excited for. While we have some people who also didn't start drawing or coding before they came all our artists are classically trained for their first couple of years so by this point theoretically they have 3 years experience.

Our team/class is a bit stacked so Everend is not really an accurate example of the 'average', hah. Our professor's classes in particular are really tough so only the really dedicated people signed up for it. You get out what you put in though.

And yes! Our game will be publicly released on the PC at the very least, but we -might- also be able to release for the PS4 or the Xbox one. Not sure yet since there's a lot more involved in doing that both coding wise but legally as well.

Yeah... There's the difference. My schooling was a one year thing, so we didn't have the time to really build our skills fully. And we didn't even have an art class. ~_~

Would be awesome if you could get it on Xbox One, but I'd still play it on PC!

The xbone is basically a computer anyway, so I think it's the easier of the two, we just have to figure out the legality behind us having a 'studio' but technically being students under the university and how licensing would go and stuff, I think.

Ultimately we own our work, the school is allowed royalty free access to it for 'educational purposes'. On Microsoft's end there might be a few roadbumps regarding the situation, as far as I understand.
