Testing and Updating

Posted by Bernardo on Nov 4, 2020

As you may have noticed, it has been a while. We all know 2020 has been a real roller-coaster, and added to that I’ve had many unrelated family situations which have really made it very hard to make any significant progress in finishing NBB. Don’t worry, it’s just rebooting a little. However!I have been porting NBB to Unity 2020, and apart from some odd glitches, it has been surprisingly smooth, specially considering how many issues I had with 2019 (kudos to unity for that). I have also been working on a slightly more posterized shader which uses a Look up texture to shade the scenes and can interpolate between them to create more of a mood: I did get some very valuable information from friends testing the game, so I am very thankful for that, and I will definitely start a new round of testing soon.I have also been refactoring a bunch of the older code, and I believe the game is a lot more optimized, so yay!I still have a lot of work to do in the co-op multiplayer department though. but that’s gonna be happening soon. Anyhow, that is all for now. I will keep you posted about updates, hopefully...

Finishing NBB

It has been a very long time since my last post, many changes have happened, a lot of life has also happened, which has made development a little slower than planned (ok, maybe a lot slower). BUT! but, as you may know if you have been following the twitters, NBB is nearing completion (at least the main bulk of the game), and I have been running some very productive playtests. The game is looking better and better. Initially maybe NBB was not a very ambitious title… but one thing lead to another. I wanted to really make it something special, and I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out. So here’s some new snippets of the game. Enjoy New Menu!Shiny new environmentsMore!Neon OfficesSecret facilities! I’ll be posting more details as I get closer to full completion, there are some big work / life challenges happening now, so it may still be a while. But don’t forget...

Post post GDC2018

Long time no write! Yes! I was at GDC2018, and now I am back to work after receiving a ton of incredibly useful feedback. Thanks a lot to EVERYONE who stopped by, and specially those who gave NBB:Arena a try. Now I am back to work, and may be looking for some artists and or programmers to help me out, more than anything to get things done quicker. As of right now, I have...

Updates from the trenches.

No! I’m not dead! Although I do apologize for how long it’s taken me to update. Changes have happened, not sure if I have informed you all, but Raptus is ostensibly just me now! Which of course has limited my time. Project Bomber Woman, is now officially called NEON BLAST BATTLERS : ARENA and I’ve been balancing that with correcting some bugs from Super Blast, and updating Draw: The Showdown, because it is currently very...
