SLARPG: General update October 2020 (Patreon)

Happy Halloween, everyone! Apologies for the lack of a Patreon update last month. I figured I'd wait until I had more substantial progress to talk about, and that time has now come!

Settlement #2

As I've said before, we've been hard at work on the second major NPC settlement in SLARPG's world. (In other words, it's basically another town, but it's not quite like Greenridge, so I don't want to put that image in your heads. You'll see what I mean when the game is out.) I'm pleased to report that this area is now nearly complete! NPCs that previously only existed as concept sketches now have sprites and dialogue. Important main story scenes have been written and implemented into the game. Art has been done for both the main outdoor area and a few buildings you can go into. It's all really coming together!

We'll be keeping this second settlement and its inhabitants under wraps until the game releases. Like I keep saying, this game won't be any fun if there's nothing left to discover. But when it's finally in everyone's hands, it should be a lot of fun to explore.

The Music

Meanwhile, composer Beatrix Quinn has also been hard at work putting the finishing touches on ALL OF THE MUSIC for the entire first half of the game!

Yes, we're nearing completion on all of the songs for every area, battle, character, and scene in Acts I and II. By my count, that's somewhere around 40 tracks, with the total count for the entire game currently sitting at over 60 tracks. Bee's truly been pouring her heart and soul into this soundtrack, and it's really shaping up to be something special. We can't wait for you to hear it.

Also here's one more little thing that doesn't have anything to do with SLARPG

One extra note on this update. If you've been keeping an eye on Twitter or Tumblr, you've probably already heard about this. But this is really cool and I'm compelled to tell as many people as possible about it, so I might as well mention it here too.

See, there was a tiny little surprise in store for readers of IDW's Sonic comics this month, with a little cameo in issue #33...

Yes, after nearly six years of running Thanks Ken Penders and falling ass backwards into being an Archie Sonic historian, I got a Sonic cameo. Evan Stanley was gracious enough to sneak this in as a reference to my Sonic Chronicles streams I mentioned in previous updates and the many, many Feroxes I hatched along the way. This was extremely cool of her. I can't believe those Chao will be my legacy.

...

That's all for now! As always, we'll continue chipping away at this project that would not exist without your support. Stay safe out there, everyone.
