A Strong Return

Heya, friends!

We're not dead!  We've been very quiet with communication, and that's mainly my fault.  There's a lot of firsts for us, especially myself.  This is the first I've been in charge of updating a group of people, so I got sidetracked until things started to fall apart.  Moving forward, I promise to keep this project more updated as things happen.  Feel free to kick me if I don't.

Moving on to a more relevant topic, SoN is moving along nicely.  We're working on a lot of areas, including art and story, though it can be slow at times.  since my last post, we've made a lot of progress, and I can't wait to share it all with you!

An Expanded Team!

New Concept Art!
First off, this concept art was drawn by one of our artists.  Ruffu, the one behind this art, is an amazing character designer.

Our other artist, Tiffany, has talent in all areas.  She can masterfully create environments, characters, props, you name it!  It's an honor to have these two on the team, and I can't wait to work side by side with them.  Please check out there work here, they have some amazing stuff:

Moving Forward

One of the biggest issues with level design early on is when you haven't settled on mechanics.  You have some idea, but as you design, things change and warp, and soon things aren't the same anymore.  This project especially has gone through many changes.  But I'm finally putting things in stone, which means I can start planning out more concrete levels!  

We don't have a big idea of how long this game will be, or the amount of content, though we're shooting small for now.  We're trying to make sure this project doesn't lose steam by taking too long, but we'll try to pour our heart into every minute we can!

More Coming Soon!

Finally, I wanted to let you know that we'll have more updates as time goes on.  I'll post occasionally on this blog, but if you want smaller, and more frequent updates, we have a Discord server you can stay more up to date, and just hang out.  The whole team is on there, and we love to chat with you and other Ori fans.  I hope to see you all there!


That's all for today.  Thank you for sticking with us, and I hope to see you to the end of this project and beyond.  See you all later!
