Newbie, when this is done, can you give me an idea of every area's "theme" so to speak, so I can work out who contributed what? I'm not asking for spoilers, just something so I can go, "Oh, we're in such and such's area now," so the less information the better.

So far I have:

[spoiler]Bongo: The Moon
Brentai: Brides
Friday: Four Horsemen
Kazz: Livejournal
Newbie: Starting Area[/spoiler]

I am pretty excited about playing this

Check your PM box.

(Anticipation is building. I can't wait to see what you're putting together, Brentai!)

So it looks like my three weeks are up.  Everyone got three weeks to do this, right?

I kinda hate to admit it but I actually spent the first week staring at the thing like a deer in headlights as I realized that none of my Big Plans were going to flesh out the way I had envisioned them.  After I honestly should have been done I finally got a kick in the ass from Newbie's massive encouragement and set about pulling multiple all-nighters to make this as awesome as possible, as quickly as possible.  I am very, very tired right now.

So it's kind of a lame excuse but if you figure that I spent one week being a fag, one week on my actual item area, and one week on the second-pass area, then really I took a very normal amount of time on this.

I just don't want people to feel like I held up the Knorpse because I was trying to be some sort of Collaborative Game Design Primadonna here, because honestly I felt that about myself at times.  Sorry, guys.

Anyway, Newbie has the ball.  You can direct your feverish anticipation towards him, I'm going to sleep.

Hello, friends! Brentai has given us an amazing concluding chapter to an amazing game. (I haven't even gotten to LOOK at it yet, much less play it, but it downloaded successfully, so I'm going to be giving it a once-over and transferring to the master later today.)

I would love to release the Knorpse now but we're kind of missing a ton of content. There are TWO SECTIONS full of cutscenes with placeholders, and Lee-Ham has committed to doing at least some of those, so it's probably a mistake to assume he's going to be able to produce everything. That means that everything on this list is going to have to be done by you, or by me. I'm happy to do it, but it will be slow and potentially terrible. The faster we can produce the final necessary pieces, the faster we can start making Frocto play this for his youtubes.



EDIT TO ADD holy shit guys, this game is badass

I'll be adding cutscenes to my area starting tomorrow Black Friday.  Prepare for a lot of horrible stick figures.

Your second boss is kicking my ass.

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure I can complete the opening and ending. Pretty much all I need from you guys are the cutscenes in your areas.

why don't you use the graphics of the game itself for the cutscenes

That's what I'm doing. It's not a tremendously speedy process. Brentai sort of did that for the first part of his looong cutscene; he's going to do some more work on it tomorrow.

The Knorpse will be out on December 6, if not sooner.

This is so pointless but I can't stop obsessing about it and asking people directly has proved fruitless.

Whoever imported song251 (the [spoiler]pirate[/spoiler] one), I reused your track.  Let me know if that is or isn't a problem.  Note that the area in question is way earlier than my place in the lineup would suggested, so it's entirely possible they might get it in my area first.

That seems to be what Knytt's Adventure did, and it seems to have worked well.

edit: just the intro scene was game-graphics and there were no cutscenes, so

Ever wondered how each of the Knorpses compare to the others in terms of size? Take a look. The top map is Exquisite Knorpse; the middle map is From Saltwater Breach, an Exquisite Knorpse side-project. The bottom map is, of course, Exquisite Knorpse 2. While a few tiles are off the sides of the screen in both the top and the middle maps, the bottom map is missing well over twice that number.

Also, Guild, Zaratustra incorporated some of your art into our new info screen. It's excellent.
