Devlog Weekly News - TR Art, Another Expo, and KAG UI

Personally, I really like the clouds, and the pine trees + oak trees dont bother me. Just the existance of pine trees in the desert.

 

This is vidya jame aboot war. Features need to be realistic because reality. I like the foreground art, stylistically it's very different from before and while it may need a paradigm shift in how you market or present the product to your consumer I feel that it was for the better. If the Trench Run logo is still the same though... Then that would be a bit weird. Is the possibility of renaming the game still up for discussion with the THD crew? Or is it set in stone.

 

I think it was because I listened to the TR theme song while looking at the old art and it matched up really well. The colorful theme with that wandering soldier style. I always thought of a bunch of rough and tough veterans sitting around a fire like the Nuclear Throne fire scene but with TR doods. Now since all of the screens so far have a blue sky instead of black background it feels more of a swampy bayou banjo time then that old Romani type feel you said you guys were going for before.

Most of this is happening in my head though, so... :P

 

Clouds? Why not have random events with meteors and UFO's?
It would be an improvement to the player's experience and the visual quality!

The one problem that is consistent in KAG and TR is their names. When I look up "Trench Run" on youtube and google all I see is Star Wars shit. Before KAG became somewhat popular (at release) there was very little information on it. KAG isn't even about King Arthur its about knights and very little about gold. The last thing that you'd want is for Trench Run to be covered up by star wars shit. I don't think Trench Run is bad but it is at risk of being covered up by star wars and it doesn't tell you a whole lot about the game.

 

When it gets released on Steam and it isn't a big flop it will probably be the first result.

If they actually plan on changing the name because of what you said Swine, I recommend "Trenches, Guns, and War, Oh my", Kouji suggested this a long time ago and it's pretty funny, which relates to the game (if adding "funny" stuff is still planned, like poker and bets).

 

Use DuckDuckGo for 100% non-personal search engine thing

It's number 9 and it's not even out yet

 

It's not really gfx work but more of how you are selling the game. What's the barebones explanation that holds everything together, if you stick with the one y'all had before it'll feel weird with the new art. Just things in my head.

 

Looks really nice, though Fellere is right; It would make sense to show dunes and a cloudless sky in the desert biome. But I suspect that's something you couldn't have figured out yourself.

use GUUID for maximum distinction. How do you like
928fcb9a-f8f0-4070-80c1-100896afd0b6 ?, or maybe
f969e82e-866d-4efe-b15f-b2604ee8b125 fits the scenario better!?

p.s. cool people plant trees https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=trench+run&region=&lang=&f=false (10th result)

 

Can next game be a whole virtual reality experience? Where you enter a lobby and automatically a pie gets sent through Amazon to arrive through your front door? This pie has a 14% chance of containing chocolate or peanut butter. If your pie has a little picture of a naked Gatu then you win a prize. A skype date with Gatu and a guaranteed happy ending. Of course you'd have to use the pie for the physical gratification but then if you have a peanut allergy you'll get these cool bumps in fun places. Apparently some people like that. Especially in Germany. I hear the people are really into that weird stuff in Germany. So you take your bumpy fun zone, and you take your now used pie, and then you have a nice date with Gatu. At the end of the month we poll Gatu to see which date was the most entertaining. After which we see if Mr. MM also agrees with Gatu's decision. After all things are hashed out and if Mr. MM also agreed that the skype date was kosher with a happy ending we move onto step three. You see At this point everyone should have realized this is basically a glorified dating app for Gatu and Mr. MM to find a third individual for their polyamorous relationship. Yet the won't take chances on those other dating apps because of the possibility of it ruining their developing careers as secret pron stars. So after going on a few dates they'll find true love and happiness again. THD, Three Homosexual Dudes, will finally become a reality.

 

If I start a kickstarter and people actually want to pay for it will you give people pies?

 

5 pies! I'll be rich!

Apple pies?
