Q4 2016 Update
Hello everyone. Just in time for this Holiday Season, we're getting ready to see an update to Fringes! The new engine is coming along and I've almost made my goal for the year of having all of the editors complete.
Things are evolving in the development pipeline. Why just a few weeks ago I was embarking on the Location editor, and now I've got that in the rear-view, and I'm happy to announce that the scripting language is nearly complete. Once that's done, we can make strides toward a better single player experience.
It feels historic. Today was the day I began making the Title Screen. This is the first step toward New Character Generation, and the rest of the game. I've made exactly 3 presentations (the title intro, title screen loop and new game cut scene) entirely using the game itself.
What before was a bunch of uncertainties is now a concise list of goals which will pave way toward content creation. I'm so excited to get to a point where I can finally just make art and story, rather than all of this deep engine stuff.
Please tell your friends to support this game by buying it right here on Steam. Without your support, I cannot begin to explain the dismal life I would lead, working on a game solely for myself. I want you to love it and as it gets closer I feel I can see how this game is going to be such a fun and unique artistic experience.
It has been a long time since our last update, and while I feel we've made a lot of progress, there is still much to be done. Thanks for sticking with this project. I hope one day you'll discover a finished game in your Steam library, and enjoy it.
What's in this update?
Expect the payload by Friday.
