@CarreyMatthias Not dead! Am working in bg for a bit, since stressed, but still getting progress!

@AloftStudio 5 years later, is this project dead? I paid for that and want it.

@Kolma Yes! Has not been worked on since 2020, but the game is still there right as it was left, assets, full outlines to finish it. It only remains to be done. At this point, it will likely be released just after HB, unless our backers want something different to happen.

@AloftStudio Is Dawnthron still coming out? haven't seen any updates on that game for a long time :(

@GrnMtlB0x early next year we should see the alpha of the first half of the game released for backers!

@AloftStudio Any word on when we’ll see a release?

A Hazelnut room with an unusual mechanic built into it: #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #16bit #NintendoSwitch

@MrBaelinTweets using a mechanized setup for creating a laser-sweep obstacle; up to this point in the game lasers have only been a puzzle mechanic, but here they are used in a context meant to test for use of the flash move as an evasion tactic

@AloftStudio Lot going on in this video, what specifically is the unusual mechanic?

@m17163503810 The 4th dungeon and a certain later area share a location!

@AloftStudio I knew that as both were shown but wasnt this originally going to be a later area than the 4th dungeon? Maybe I remembered that wrong.

@m17163503810 This dungeon has indoor and outdoor spaces; you can see examples of the outdoor spaces in the earlier screens!

@AloftStudio Maybe things have changed since a few years ago when this song was first shown but wasnt this made to play in an area thats late into the game that looked similar to this one? Maybe you go back there at another point in the game or theres a few similar looking places?

@PJSpadez53 Same composer!

@AloftStudio Music reminds me of Trials of Mana

@torvustalon every Jelly has the same timer, so the first time they fire, they will do it synchronized. After some of them take damage, that delay impacts their timer, and they will be out of sync then. If it wasn't that way, you'd be able to do something like stunlock them.

@AloftStudio This looks really good. +1 for using slow projectiles. Are the jellyfish on the same global timer?

@Jay_T1000 @PJSpadez53 That particular track is!

@PJSpadez53 @AloftStudio made by Hiroki Kikuta i think

@Kolma Yes; DT is still in the works, but working heavily on HB right now; considering holding a vote for our KS backers on that platform about which title they want us to focus for the moment (because DT is close to done and could release in a few months if it's desired).

@AloftStudio any updates on Dawnthorn?

@Elle_Loves_Hugs you can see them in earlier tweets! I will have some in this zone animated up in a bit as well!

@BumbleStudio We should be months away from the alpha of the first half of the game atm

@AloftStudio Is there any kind of an ETA on this release?

Another Hazelnut Bastille room... I suppose you might even say the Hazelnut Bastille? #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #16bit #NintendoSwitch #screenshotsaturday

It's #followfriday, here are some awesome #gamedev to follow in the #indiegame space. @devfurkan @pilo_game  @medaversestudio @HackAndSlime @MM6sGamingCo @StarvingFoxStd @RogueLabyrinth @AuroraTLMGame @BlumEntmt @EresysTheGame @rftagame @NewfangledGames @AloftStudio @KalinarmDev

@WiiWareWave Yes, it will release for the current switch. I think we have a clear mandate based on our playerbase for the Switch, and it's where the interest is largest.

@AloftStudio So this will definitely release on the current Switch? Too many devs switch to different consoles if the next-gen happens before launch which is rather unfortunate in our opinions.
