First off, there is a new gameplay video up:

Unlike the old one, the quality of this one isn’t awful, however it’s just a simple run though of a typical battle in game. I will still post a much longer in depth video closer to the release of the game that shows everything about how it’s played.

Also, if you haven’t noticed, an item in the checklist is green! (By the end of today, there may be two green items…) No changes in the checklist are reflected in the video, as the video is of the IGF build and not the current development build. After I make any major changes to the game I may upload videos showing them to you.

Also, soon I will be modifying the logo and making a new line of shirts for the game. The new design properly incorporates the text into the design so it will not look out of place anymore. These will also be screenprinted and so hopefully they will be cheaper, and I may make them available from a second manufacturer too.

I’ll keep you guys posted.

The IGF demo is done. Heck yes. Now I have to do a bunch more stuff before I can get moving on the campaign.

I spent this afternoon looking through my huge packet of sloppy notes for Koya Rift and I’ve typed up the official checklist (which you should really visit right now!).

Be sure to remember to check back and see what’s new on the checklist. I’ll be updating it from time to time in the coming months as I work on the game more, but I’ll only make a new post about it some of the time!

Thanks for your support people. Lets rock this thing so I can get it on the market next year.

I’m looking for a publisher, too. Email me at SunnyKatt@live.com

It’s official – Koya Rift is now a contender in the 2011 IGF. Finally submitted, and a month before the deadline!

An enormous weight is lifted off of my shoulders. I’ll post the link to the IGF page once they update the website for all of them.

Wish me luck! Next post may have a new video, or an update of sorts.

Hey everyone. Thanks for your rediculously supportive comments on this game on all the various websites where you contacted me. But you were looking at screenshots, and still images are never a proper judge.

I apologize in advance for my poor video making skills. The next one should be better quality.

Keep in mind this is only a short gameplay mashup. Later I will post a longer video that actually walks you through a few rounds so you can see what the gameplay is like and how the game is played (because this still isn’t enough to judge if you want to buy it or not!)

Oh man! People are actually going to see Koya Rift for the first time! Exciting stuff! Let’s get right down to it, I’ve quickly and sloppily taken a handful of images from a few minutes of gameplay earlier. Here they are:

Classic above-ground view. The clouds are higher up, and there aren't enemies nearby right now.

It's about time this cute little crystal got what was coming to it.

This is me showing off the fancy particle smoke trails.

Epic duel in the caves!

This is how the awesome sear energy explodes. I forgot to take a decent screenshot of the depress energy, my bad.

Fighting up in the clouds at nighttime makes everything have a cool glowy look to it.

I think they both know how this one is going to turn out.

The first video footage will come in a few weeks.

Koya Rift is my project that I hope to enter into the IGF 2011 and sell next year. Read up on it on the official Koya Rift page.

Screenshots aren’t released yet. Maybe in half a month or so. But for now, feel free to check out these logos and load screens:

Actual in-game footage/screenshots will come soon enough. Please Subscribe by Email so you can keep following news of the game without having to remember to come back here.

Thanks for checking it out! – SunnyKatt
