Friday Update 2024-01-26

Happy Friday! Things are coming along nicely, though there’s still plenty to finish before the new demo is ready for release. First things first, I want to rename the game: I hinted at this last week, but there are at least a dozen games on itch.io named Memoria, and I’d rather not add to that number. Fortunately, I have another name prepared! It’s unique, and it’ll go live along with the new demo. Look forward to it!

I also want to celebrate finishing the demo maps. In particular there’s a new screen in each area, which are finished now. In addition, the final screens in each area have been brought up to the same stylistic standard. Each area represents a character’s early memory – one that’s sat untouched for years, so I wanted them to look like they’ve been abandoned all that time. Then, during the flashback cutscenes, there’s a clear contrast between the abandoned aesthetic and the well maintained look each area gets for the scene. Have a peek:

That’s all for this Friday Update. See you in a week or two!
