Also a special thanks to Dustin Adair who I reached out to help with some of the build issues we were having.
DDD was our first successful attempt at adapting an incomplete prototype and securing the rights and seeing it to the end as a complete game. I may follow up with a post-mortem with what went well and what didn't. As of the writing in this blog entry, I'm still talking to some team members for their feedback.
Some final screenshots of the finished game.
Selatria
For Selatria, we have been making some significant progress. We have an additional battle system designer - Matt Hawkins, who is joining from the Dastardly Dairy Debacle team to join with expediting the process. While I don't plan on releasing the exact date of release that we have in mind other than the 2019 date we talked about, I'm happy to say we're ahead of schedule.
Don Alfieri who took over developing full main scenario cutscenes for our remaining chapters has really taken off and made significant progress on Chapter 4. Here's a tease of what's to come!
Just a note, what you see in the video above is not the final draft. I wanted to cut out spoilers from the scene, and I've since made some adjustments which you'll see in the final release.
With the current progress, we're averaging a new cutscene being done about every 1-2 weeks. I then go through it and make sure everything is smooth.
With that being said, I would like to say we have our production pipeline working pretty well.

Shadoe makes sure the voices are edited and cut to the proper volume. Leigh-anna takes the voice files and matches them with the implmented text and scenes. Don takes the the text/scene instructions him or I have implemented into the game and makes character movements. Jon and now Matt Hawkins take the boss battle designs from our google doc and implement them. Tim works on coming up with new quirky features that we were planning on postponing to after release. And I am involved with all of the above and do final checks on everything to make sure it's implemented and working correctly and make adjustments as needed.
In the next development log, which will probably be the final development for 2018, I'm going to delve-deep into what may be cut from Selatria in order to make our target release date.
Until next time!
