Welcome back for another weekly screenshot, dear patrons! 

This time you see the finished version of the character that Kendrian was inking during yesterday's public stream. The big variant at the bottom is the size we normally draw the battlers in, while the smaller ones are the size you see in-game. So yeah, on t...

Here's the raw recording of this month's public stream, in case you missed it and wonder what went on there! 

(Well, this month's second stream, but the first one sadly wasn't recorded)

Some of you may have seen this map from the dev stream that happened a couple weeks ago - here is the finished version!

This is a map that will be used in chapter 5 of the game (an area called Greywind Pass). If you notice an empty space in the upper left corner, that's because it's an area where a big cutscene takes pl...

Greetings once again! It's time for another weekly glimpse into our development progress!

This week we started working on some proper graphics for the interrogation system. The idea is that some of the people you interrogate are unique story-related characters, while others are more generic ones (think pirate grunts, ba...

Happy Sunday!

This week's screenshot is an excerpt from the game script! As you can see, a new character is being introduced. 

Hey, wait a second. Isn't there a character with that same name in the first game? What a coincidence! ;)

Happy Sunday everyone!

This sketch is still a work in progress, but it is one of the initial sketches our artist has drawn for the second escape game pose. 

Our plan is to eventually have (at least) four poses: regular tie (pictured above), chairtie, hogtie, and poletie. 

Thanks to Dai for letting ...

Another week of mostly code, mapping and scene implementation, so here is a mix of those elements put into one screenshot. 

So, what do we have here? Is the man helping Seles get out of the barrel she was put in? Did she maybe accept a challenge or dare? Or this simply a glitch? And why is Aden walking around tied ...

Fortnightly Report (week 28-29)

With another two weeks gone by, so here's another compressed and spoiler-free report!
These two weeks our most active members have been our programmers, which is why their work dominate the list this time:

This has been a code-heavy week, mainly focusing on scene implementation and the new interrogation system. Our Beneficial Badger as been hard at work making it playable, and of course, since code comes before graphics, for now that's what you get a screenshot of :P

Still, those with keen eyes may notice some of the feat...

It's time for a story-related screenshot! This one here is from the WIP chapter 4, and probably doesn't make much sense without the context... But I feel like I giving the context away would spoil some things, so I'll leave it a teaser.

However, I will say that this chapter has a lot more DID in its story than the previ...

Fortnightly Report (week 26-27)

  • Completed all chapter 3 maps
  • Continued work on the interrogation system (it works!)

Happy Sunday everyone! This week's screenshot depicts a more complicated "line of sight" feature that one of our programmers has been working on for the stealth sections. The line of sight of the guards and people you want to avoid will be much more realistic than it was in Didnapper 1 in that they'll be able to see a conal r...

To be fair, the chair does have very nice legs.

In case you can't tell what's going on here, this is the beginning of the framework we've been laying for the interrogation system. Obviously, seduce won't be the only thing you can do.

The interrogation system makes its first debut in Chapter 5. Can't say for sure w...

This is a custom-made sprite created to represent the party member introduced in Chapter 3. Her name is Chelsea.

You might notice that her outfit looks a bit familiar. I wonder if there's any reason for that? ;) You'll have to wait and find out!

Happy Sunday! This week's screenshot depicts a piece of the ongoing map and level design of Chapter 3. We've finished all the maps except for one - as you can see, that one has been drawn in. 

We debated a number of possible routes for Chapter 3, as it is a bit lighter on the dialogue and more dependent on gameplay...

DIDgames post To all beta testers! from patreon

In an ongoing effort to make development as smooth as possible, a couple points have come up in the (metaphorical) meeting room. 

However, we're not quite sure as to how great our new ideas are - as such, if you guys could quickly take a minute or so to go through this neat poll we cooked up, it would be of much he...

This week's screenshot is from the in-progress game script that our writer, Pen, has been working on. 

Pen has written 7 complete chapters of the script so far; the excerpt you see now is from chapter 8. 

It looks like the party has gotten themselves into a bind...again. I wonder who this knot-savvy red-...

Although Seles isn't a kidnapper, sometimes the person you're trying to rescue just isn't very cooperative.

And in that case, Seles and Aden might have to resort to some more drastic measures!

Our beta testers will likely be seeing this custom animation firsthand with the release of the next update. :) Hope you're...

Since we showed off some things during yesterday's stream (that somehow didn't get saved, sorry about that ^^; ), here's a new character fresh from today :)

I don't really want to get into spoiler territory, but I'll say that testers will hopefully meet her relatively soon :)

Cheers!

Also, apologies for the lack of a stream recording this time! For some reason Picarto didn't save it... We'll try to get it sorted before the next stream!
