August Silence - new updates coming soon!

hey F3, wanna help me make that game? maybe we should make a splatoon 2 octo expansion.

progress update

you can now access that planet I posted about a while ago.

you can visit it by colliding with a small shuttle in the control room, near the top left of the station.

(fyi there isn’t really much to do there yet, it’s just for fun at this point.)

  • polish/bugfixes
  • story/atmosphere
  • finish optional side content

if you voted for polish/bugfixes, do you have any specific things that need fixing, besides what’s been said by crigence?

and hey look! 1k views!

Still working on this game, sorry. but If you have something really specific that you need help with, I could maybe give you hand.

I think that’s always what you should do first, in every situation. CDPR’s work with Cyberpunk 2077 is a great example. A beautiful game that we would love to see get more added onto it, but they decided to fix its flaws before moving on, which is the best decision overall. It makes those future projects (like side content and story add-ons) that much easier

I’m having a bug where the sounds for hitting the floor after jumping aren’t playing anymore. any Ideas for why this would happen? It should be in the run and jump bundle.

update on the planet:

-new sound effects and animations for foliage
(though one sound effect is missing because of that bug)

-multiple parallax layers in the background

also, what should the planet be called?

Maspa (‘wasp’ and ‘map’ combined since it seems closer to a jungle planet than anything else. Also, I think ‘29’ sounds good with the name.)

Gorgex
Morbed
Malgof
Green Port (because I see grass lol)
Alsof

They just sound alien to me (I made them all up lol)

Maspa 29… sounds cool, might use that one.

@Yorkie2323 what are the names based on? I thought they might be words backwards but they aren’t.

No idea, they’re based off what you want to base them off.

ok, I see the edit that you made them up now. Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate them.

Nice! Now, I would recommend giving the player something to look at in the sky. A cloud perhaps? maybe some rugged mountains?

I was thinking about something like that. How about mountains and clouds?

how are these?

(I expanded the camera temporarily to get this screenshot)

or maybe not temporarily? should I keep the screen bigger?

Hmm, how do you make those mountains so quick?
