Little Nemo Brainstorming Podcast #23: We're back!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Oct 28, 2021 at 08:40:41 AM

Hey Dreamers! Adrian here.

After our brief hiatus, we're back with our newest episode of the brainstorming podcast! Our main focus for this episode is on how we plan to keep players from getting lost when exploring our non-linear levels and how to know where to go when they return to earlier levels. This is an issue many modern exploratory platformers and Metroidvanias struggle with and something we're thinking about very hard about. 

Listen/download here! 

Thank you all for your patience. We're so excited to be back and have a lot of plans for future episodes. As always, let us know what you think in the discord, and let us know if there's anything about the game you want know about and would like to hear us discuss!

Until next time Dreamers,

~ Adrian & Team Nemo

Night Sky demo level video preview
over 2 years ago – Sat, Oct 16, 2021 at 11:32:35 PM

Hello dear backers! 

As many of you know, some of our team members just finished major moves in the past few weeks, so we've been unable to do our podcast and development streams as regularly. Because of this, we wanted to make sure we sent out something to keep everyone updated on the game!

A few weeks ago, we showed off the game at GDEX/Origins Game Fair in Columbus, OH. Some of you in the area came by to say hello (thank you!) and the game was a huge hit with attendees! For that show, we prepared a demo of the Night Sky level where you could try out Nemo's glide ability. 

We wanted to make sure that all of our backers got a preview of the level, so we put together a quick video from the Origins demo. We hope you enjoy it and stay tuned for updates as we polish this level up and finalize its features, as well as continue to develop the overall game. 

(PLEASE NOTE: this video shows the game in a non-final state, so many elements of it are subject to change!)

Cheers,

Chris and Team Nemo

Podcast Update

Hey dreamers! Adrian here.

As some of you on the discord and who have listened to the podcast know, I've been in the process of moving into a new home for sometime. I've been settled in the new house since the beginning of the month now, and it's been a pretty great (if exhausting) experience! Unfortunately, not everything is quite done, including some minor electrical work that needs to get done. As such, I've been using my laptop for communication, game dev and other things during this transitional period. My main workstation is where my recording and editing software is at the moment, and that's why there hasn't been a podcast in the last week following our showing at GDEX.

The good news is the electrical work is scheduled and will be done in the near future. The bad news is that until that time, I won't be able to record new episodes for the podcast. It's not going away forever! We enjoy recording it and think it'll be an important and interesting archive in the process of the development of the game. I also want to assure that this hasn't slowed progress of the game's development at all, as porting the development over to this laptop is a fairly easy process and doesn't require as much hard drive space or processing power as media editing tends to do.

At the moment I anticipate the podcast to return sometime in early November. Until that time, we'll continue to update you on the game's progress and other exciting developments as they come up. Thanks for your patience and look forward to the podcast's inevitable return!

Until next time dreamers,

~ Adrian + Team Nemo
