WHAT'S BEEN YOUR BIGGEST DEVELOPMENT HURDLE SO FAR? Nothing has been particularly challenging so far, but it is a lot of work to put together a campaign and the demo is keeping us busy as we try to make sure we're ready in time!Īlthough, there is something that is quite the time sink: trailers! It takes so much time to do and it is very hard to make sure it's up to the standards of other trailers that players are used to seeing! I think our trailer will take about 2 weeks of full-time work to be ready. We have also left the Kickstarter until later in the development of the game, so we already have a lot of things to show and even the aforementioned demo. We have hired a marketing company (which is very important because there is so much to do, all the time!), we have prepared a lot of very exciting physical rewards and several stretch goals.

This time though, we come into it much more prepared. We had no marketing and only focused on development during the campaign. Plus, we probably made a lot of potential mistakes during our previous campaign. As well as settling on the gameplay, we knew we wanted to move far away from Dark Devotion so we've gone from a dark, fairly oppressive game, to a bright, colourful game with a lot of aerial action!Ī Kickstarter is always stressful, but we have already done one with Dark Devotion, so we know what to expect. Construct is still a fairly new engine to us, so we're also trying to stay close to what we know mechanics-wise. So, we've ended up with a 2D platformer that has rogue-lite elements and impressive bosses! At Hibernian Workshop, we love playing these types of games, so it was easy to settle on what we wanted to work on. We've been working on Astral Ascent since late 2019 and when we started the project, we wanted to work on a game genre we were comfortable with. So far, I've found that Construct 3 has everything I need to make all the games I want to make! YOU'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON ASTRAL ASCENT, TELL US A BIT ABOUT THE GAME AND THE STORY BEHIND IT. But, it felt really long-winded and complicated to do very basic stuff, I felt stuck.Įventually, I gave Construct a try with a tutorial from Udemy and it was a true revelation! Everything was easy and really good to use! I genuinely spent my first months yelling with joy as I kept finding features that were missing from my previous engine.

My work with indie studios got me using Unity for a bit and I even made a few games on it for mobile with Playmaker visual scripting extension. Though it took me years of practice before I felt comfortable with it.

I never learned to code but did I learn to use Clickteam Fusion 2.5 in my game design class.
