Thank you for the feedback and for the kind words! Truly means a lot!
I'm working simultaneously on all of the episodes of CHORDOSIS almost daily. I'm still hesitant to say a proper release date, but it's coming together nicely.
Random status on EP2:
Currently I'm working on the 17 language localization and of how I implement it.
This means most of my writing is finally kinda finished I guess :D and I'm really happy about it!
It was not the cheapest, but I worked together with a professional AAA localization company.
(Bad translation is worse than having none, and same applies to voice acting in my opinion.)
So, in this week I've worked mostly outside the Unreal Engine doing 2D stuff in GIMP and Blender with localized 2Dtextures (zoom in to a newspaper and it's naively in Chinese for you or something) (yes, I really do hate UI text walls, and text-based storytellng should be part of the game world) so there will be a lot of ingame 3d objects in your own language.
In this week I made a lot of progress with my sound design as well!
My carpenter neighbor was on a holiday this week so it was finally kinda quiet, and I was able to record a lot again.
Just like the fist episode, the second one will have a really "go nuts" ending with insane sound design.
I made this weird contraption in my basement/workshop for the sound of that segment (mostly).
I used some metal wires on a large hard iron plate, tensioned with clamps on wood, and it has barbed wire loosely all over on it.
I just love making my own instruments, but they usually looks awful, and something out of a SAW movie lol.
But this one sounds really really cool.
Sounds really screechy and eerie!
I did some fields on it as well, and it works great with my impulse responses.
In Monday, I just cant wait to finally implement it as the sound of
well...
.... :D I'm not gonna spoil it ....
but I'll probably spend an another week on this, to finally change out my placeholders of the ending of EP2.
Gamedev takes a lot of time, effort. I truly believe I have something in my hands here.
CHORDOSIS quickly became my job, and a huge part of my life. I'll do my best to make it fun, and to give goosebumps.
