With the game jam project done, it’s time to finish this. At the moment of writing, I’m testing the game’s final level. I’m leaving a month more before the release so I can playtest the game calmly. See you soon, employee.Read full article on Community Announcements (ApeHardware)AnnouncementsOfficial
Devlog
So far VERTIGROWL is close to being playable from start to end, with only a few sections being left to implement. I’m not sure about the release date since the testing phase is always unpredictable. The game is split in 4 sections, with 3 of them being dedicated to a specific game mechanic, and the final one mixing all of them. There are also 3 short minigames between the sections. VERTIGROWL is fairly short, probably about an hour, so I have decided on a price of 3$. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45061941/5129b50a722fe0c647d1921340dd38966bff451f.png However, this game is a bit tiring to work on, mostly because it’s basically vent art about working on banking IT. So I’m taking a 2-week break to participate in a game jam. Progress on VERTIGROWL will continue after that no matter how the jam project goes. Also, the page for the soundtrack is up: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3108400/VERTIGROWL_Soundtrack/ That 's all for now. The next post will probably be either a release date or release announcement.Read full article on Community Announcements (ApeHardware)
