May was very busy but we also had a lot of fun! One of the highlights was the joint exhibition at Fryshuset with Gameshifters and the Creative Game development program

(also,  it feels like months since we wrote the last update - so much has happened since)

Tons of drawings

I (Bobbi) have been making tons of backgrounds and illustrations for Truer than You. I enjoy drawing a lot, but the time for it is often eaten up by tasks that feel more urgent. But at some point, these things have to be done, and now is the time - the illustrated content for 3 out of 5 chapters is largely done.

Importing localized text

Pixie has been working on importing localized texts back into the game. It’s the first time we’re working on localization, so this works entails some surprises - and fixes for those. The scripting engine we’re using doesn’t include a localization kit, so we’ve had to make our own, which is interesting but time consuming.

Visiting ComicCon & Creative Coast

We visited ComicCon and handed out flyers to survey both Truer than You and an upcoming title. This was the perfect combination between work and leisure, and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Truer than You was also part of a small exhibition at the developer conference Creative Coast festival in Karlshamn.

Creative process and exhibition

In the Gameshifters project, we did a concept development process together with a group of young people from the Fryshuset community, meeting up four times to work on a game concept together. The group came up with the concept Extinct - In this game, humanity has been enslaved by an AI, and four teens rebel against it, going to other planets to find the resources and knowledge to help save humanity. 

The creative process ended with an exhibition together with the creative game development program, at Fryshuset. I’m very proud of what the participants have made in such a short amount of time!

June is coming up, and we’re preparing for China Joy and some other upcoming events, and at the same time trying to enjoy this beautiful season -  Hope you can do that too!
