Hey! I'm back!

I went to Japan for over a month, got sick, and came back to a broken computer! Excitement! :D

Unfortunately this post is pretty much just to say I'm back. There has been little change since last post. I managed to update sequencing, dialoguing, and a lil' day-night cycle! Woo!
There is a LOT more information, both personal and professional, available over at my main site at: http://www.silver-stitch.com/
But yup, back and doing stuff again! Huzzah! I should be able to post properly next time~

Till next time, all the best~!

Hey all~

Had a pretty crazy month; plenty of work, progress, and getting sick (Autumn JUST started here in Australia, and I get hit with TWO flus...).

Made plenty of progress with my main project. I started work on the core engine in Unity, with basic movement, camera control, and interactions all sorted out! Got a long way to go but hopefully I can get as much done as possible over the next month! I've also continued fine-tuning the pre-production (that never stops...), from mechanics and story to all manner of visuals.

Not much else to report unfortunately, plenty of stuff happening behind the scenes but not much to say~

Don't forget to check out my main site for more frequent updates: http://www.silver-stitch.com/
And as always, till next time, all the best~!

Hey all~!

I've been working hard over the past month lining-up a number of important things for my project! This, along-side continuing to practice in both Unity and Blender, and fine-tuning that pre-production, has all been coming along well!

I'll now be focusing on building a draft engine in Unity as well as working on some early simple assets~

Also here's a little side-project I worked on; I revived an old developer site from forever ago from a team called Relic's TV Hits. It's a bit glitched, but I guess everything was in the 90s.
Check it out here: https://www.relicstvhits.com/

Hey all~!

First post here for the new year!

I've kicked this year off pretty dang productively; I've completed all the base pre-production for T.H.E. game, specifically all the character flow! (which is super important for such an open-ended freedom-of-choice game like this). I'm really happy with all the work I've done and I'm going to keep working hard! I hope you all enjoy it! ^-^

I've done a bundle of other little things, and you can read about it all at my main site (link below) but something that is cool is the collaboration I played a tiny part on got released! Check it out here: https://vimeo.com/252091266

Hey all~!

I've basically been doing a lot of the same as I said last time, but I am definitely getting better at 3D! I've started practicing making game-ready assets, each one improving a little bit! I've also been getting better at drawing up the textures for them, so definitely coming along well! :D

The writing has been progressing nicely; I'm aiming to get the base pre-production done before the year is over so that I can hopefully start drafting some things up in Unity!

I'm very excited with this current project! I've got some screenshots of my (not-super-fantastic-but-getting-there) 3D work over at my main website: www.silver-stitch.com/

Because of the New Year, I may not post at the start of January, so I might update mid-Jan or just wait till Feb.
Regardless, till next time, all the best~!

Hey all~

So the past month has mostly been training 3D, writing stuff, and general life being busy, so nothing super major to report!

My training is coming along well, I think? I've definitely made progress, especially with 3D modelling (something which I never really thought I could do~). I've got a long way to go with everything, but it's getting there! :D

Hey All!

Sorry about the gap last month; because of the drastic changes to my work I was in a lull and had nothing to talk about, and I also took a bit of a holiday and had some time to myself.

So what's happened since dropping Flash and the Monochrome Engine?
The main decision and task has been migrating over to Unity, something that has been proving a lot easier than I expected as well as a lot more enjoyable! It's wonderful to work in not only a much more professional engine, but one that has already been constructed and streamlined! Still only in the learning stages, but the end goal is to transfer all the plans I had for Flash over to Unity. The pre-production of the projects will get completely re-worked to fit the new engine and platform, and I will dedicate more time to them to make sure they turn out perfect!

However, that it is a while off. And I have a lot of learning to go before then! So in the mean-time I have started working on a small little ol' interesting experimental project. It's quite different from what I've worked on before; I'm trying to really push myself here, with it being set in a 3D environment! So I've also started learning 3D modelling, which I am rather enjoying!

So that's me! Pushing myself, refining my main projects, jumping into new ones! It'll be an interesting few months to see how the new roots grow!

Till next time, all the best~!

Hey everyone.

So update time. I'm sure, at least here on Newgrounds, you're aware of the recent announcement Adobe made about cutting Flash support in 2020. (If not, click me!) While this news was something to be expected eventually, it is sooner than anticipated and unfortunate none-the-less.

Sadly, with the deadline set by Adobe, working on my current line of projects is no longer a viable option and I must abandon the Flash-based Monochrome Engine. I am happy that I was able to complete a delightful tech-demo for it, as well as have a good number of my supporters test it. Over the years of working on it, I definitely achieved my goal of learning a lot about both game theory and coding, and hope to apply this knowledge to a new platform.

I will be migrating my planned projects over to Unity, since I have already experimented with it before and it works well for my planned games, and my games will be released as stand-alone.

I have no anticpation of leaving Newgrounds behind, this place has always been both a wonderful community and supply of awesome works, but the games I have been working on will most-likely not find their way here, much to my grief.

For a longer and more detailed explanation of my plans, I have a post available at: http://www.silver-stitch.com/2017/08/dev-diary-25/

I will continue to update monthly, as well as visit nearly daily to check out whats been happening!

Thank-you everyone for your continued support, and till next time, all the best!

Hey everyone!

Sorry to everyone who has been waiting for me to send out the Demo details, I've been massively delayed over the past fortnight with work, managing emails, and fixing big-ol' game-breaking bugs in my Demo. I should be sending out the Demo tomorrow though!

To anyone else who hasn't yet signed up but is interested, I'll be extending the deadline for a bit longer due to my personal delays. Contact me if you would like to volunteer some time and test my work, either here or at my website www.silver-stitch.com ! :D

I look forward to showing off some pre-production work for my first game next time! Till then, all the best!

Hello people!

So my Demo is essentially done! I'll be doing final patches to visuals and code over the next couple of days, but this weekend I'm going to start contacting people on the tester list. If you would like to test the Demo, send me a PM here or head on over to my website and contact me there! Keep in mind this is a technical Demo for the game engine and does not exactly reflect the games themselves, this just helps me make sure that everything is working perfectly! Applications will close on the 1st of July, unless an extension is necessary.

Thanks everyone!
