I´m writing this post on the day before the beta. There has been a lot to do these last few weeks. I´ve mainly been working on the introductory screen and the failure screen. The intro screen will show the player the basic back story and objective of the game. We wanted to show this using only pictures.

So here are one of the sprites I made this week, shown as an animated gif to give you an idea of what the end result may look like.
As I´m sure there are more […]

Never would I have imagined getting this far in just a month, but thanks to everyone’s hard work we are not far off from our goal of a finished prototype.
