Elysian Shadows Development Journal
Chapter 15
http://elysianshadows.com

After several weeks of delays, Chapter 15 is finally here. As you can see from the video, the majority of the time was spent screwing around with the engine. It was still productive, though. We tweaked Lua in a few places, and it got us even more ready to throw down on the actual Elysian Shadows.

Unfortunately this will be our last video for several weeks. All of us have final exams, work projects, and other things eating our time. It's either we take a break or continue work without being able to give the project our full attention. We would rather not make contributions or videos that aren't up to our own standards.
Full news post along with a detailed look into the status of our project here: http://elysianshadows.com/project/news/post?postId=28003

MARIO BROS - There are still parts of the level (as you could see) that were slightly sketchy. Keep in mind that this was made in a day. We didn't want to cheat and continue working after 24 hours. I have faith that it could be made perfectly if we had another day.

CAMERA ISSUES - As you can see, Youtube is now widescreen. This makes our videos look even shittier than ever. I attempted to record this chapter at 640x480 (highest resolution our cheap camera can do), but it still looks bad. I am considering perhaps starting a donation fund to help us get a new camera. The audio and video completely suck on this one.

FORUMS - If you like what you see and are interested in somehow becoming involved with game development or seeking help, I encourage you to join our forums over at elysianshadows.com. We have plenty of talented indie developer regulars who would be glad to help with your questions.

Subscribe to me for game engine development videos... still in early stages right now, BUT I CAN RECORD IN HD!!! When is Chap 16 coming out Gyro?

[GyroVorbis]

It's top secret. Only my lackeys (Marcel and Peter) and Marauder know our approximate time frame for projected release. ...and should any of them choose to leak said information, I'll slit their throat. :)

Well, I thought you all should know that I think that everything you all are doing and have done is amazingly genius. I sat up all night and watched every video back to back and I loved every minute of it. I feel that if there is anyone who is going to negatively criticize your work, videos or comments, then they shouldn't be here in first damn place, and should keep their bullcrap opinons to themselves.

[GyroVorbis]

Thanks man, we really appreciate comments like these. :)

I feel a little happier inside when I see these game teaser vids. ;)

Please keep them coming. And give a demo/game sometime soon. If there already is a demo, tell me how the hell I missed it and link me to the download section. xD

lol, i see that the minimap changes y coordinate, how did you fix the camera not to do so? i thought that the minimap kind of depended on the camera :P

[TreyRust]

you should have sent the error report, so the guys at Microsoft would go "what the heck?!"
