Reemus Chapter 4 Update

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

Well I’m happy to say all 17 backgrounds are now painted and all the secondary characters are drawn and animated. All that’s left now is special animation for Reemus and Liam and the title screens. Then I hand it off to Steve to make it work.

"Hey Liam, buy this game"

The REFER-A-FRIEND program

It’s going to take work to market and spread the word about The Ballads of Reemus. So here’s my offer, you help us market the game by giving out links to your friends. If any one buys the game from your link, you get the game for FREE. You’ll get the same options as they paid for, whether it’s download, online or both and I’ll give you same early access to Chapter 4 that I’ve offered the others.

All you have to do is to sign up for the free member account on ClickShakeGames.com, grab your unique referral link and give it out.

One sale and the game is yours too!

Now back to the grind, I have a Goliath Beetle to animate.

Reemus Chapter 4 – First Look

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

So the last few days I’ve been hard at work doing production art for Reemus Chp.4. I’ve completed 10 of the 17 unique backgrounds featured in the game as well as a chunk of character animation. I’m happy to say it’s going quite smoothly!

Chapter 4 is the first Reemus game where I’ve written the entire game in advance. Usually I do a few puzzles and then dive into production and make the rest up as I go. As you’ve seen from past games that can result in some uneven puzzles and annoyances.

I’m happy to say that Chapter 4 should be free from all minor quibbles of past games. I’m very excited to show everyone. So excited that I talked to Steve and we agreed, anyone who orders The Ballads of Reemus will get to play this game as soon as it’s done. Not sometime in the summer when Ballads is released, but the minute its ready to be played. That will probably be a couple months before the rest of the internet.

The Several Journeys of Reemus Chapter 4

Why? Well my reason is two fold. One, to give you something to play while you wait for Ballads to arrive and as a thank you for your early support of my first paid adventure game. It’s a bold step into the unknown and I really appreciate all your kind words and support! Two, I want your feedback on the puzzles and some of the new design choices. Those that have already pre-ordered I consider hardcore fans, so there’s no better people to ask about what should stay and what should go.

Your feedback will have a big impact on some of my ideas for The Ballads of Reemus. I look forward to growing with you!

That’s your small taste for now.  For those that are subscribed to my newsletter, look for more screen shots arriving in your inbox soon!

BTW, Steve and I are hanging out in the ClickShake Forums. So if you have any questions or comments head over and chat with us!

So today marks day one of my official Reemus production art schedule. I have my giant list of art assets that I’m about to trudge through. Wish me luck!

For those that don’t know. We have not one, but two Reemus games in the works. The Several Journeys of Reemus Chapter 4 and The Ballads of Reemus – a stand alone Full length Reemus adventure. Both games will be created at the same time, like Lord of the Rings. So you’ll get a Reemus double shot very soon.
