This version has also a lot of fixes, new hints, new rooms and more cut scenes plus a complete new feature which is a new MAP SYSTEM, related to the collectable-items. You can see on the map w…
Isn't it a nice day? Hi all! The end is near! :P Wednesday we finally added all the PCs, with the story/gameplay info, to Sector-10 so it is 100% DONE . What does this mean? It means that the MAIN GAME MODE is COMPLETE. HELL YEAH, dammit! So what are we doing now? Of course drinking champagne and watching the sunset... ah, sooooo coool and relaxing. ...sadly not. :P We are on lot of things beca…
Hi people! After completing last sector we are still on adding story elements in it but at least the collectables are finally placed in game - take a look: You just need to find out how to reach them ;) There are also some news about the arenas, we are now looking which sectors use for them. If you have tried the ones available on current build, you have maybe seen that the arenas are parts of…
Hi people! Time for a new updates after the usual weekly meeting - this week x2 :P. Sector-10 is having some minor palette changes on last part and we are thinking where to put the interactive PCs for the story infos. Plus now the rooms have names and it was stress-tested. On other things: we added in the hints list a new one for switching between the SynBs, with the mouse wheel, and fixed some…
Hi all, how is it? We were in holidays and rested a bit BUT after for some days Alessio took some time for finishing Sector-10. Is everything done? Yes, it is. Take a look: We are testing the gameplay a little bit more before releasing this new version. Not sure when we will but for sure as soon as possible. Stay tuned for more info (soon!) and take care! TheShortAndTheTall
Hi all, today a new WIP for Sector-10. The last level is still in progress, rooms are almost done and connected, just some "details" :P are missing: · texturing · add a better light(s) · verify the walls collisions and then it's time to write the scripts. Maybe we will "shrink" some parts but we will find out if it's necessary when the enemies where be on stage and after some strong playtesting…
Sector-10 is coming out. Slowly but good. ;) We are building all the rooms and changing a bit the order - the idea is to have something that "grows" with a rhythm while you move from one to another, something that feels right and is fun to play. It's important that things seem to have a logic, feel well connected and that anything has the right time(s). Of course it's all about hard work on goo…
Hi people! How is it? We were stingy :P with the news, but the hard work never stopped. SO: we are still on Sector-10. Do you remember the maps from last post? Yes? Ok, forget them :P We are changing almost everything because we weren't happy with the mechanics and ideas. We made some prototypes but the gameplay didn't work as expected and wasn't that fun. When the gameplay becomes tedious we a…
Hi all! finally we have the NEW TRAILER , here is it with a very cool rock song by the nice group The Spin Wires , take a look: When we listened to their music we were really impressed by the quality and the sound so we decided to use one song on the video. We think it works very well, don't you think? ;) You should check also their other songs, very good stuff. ;) And from today we have also u…
Hi again! We have a new update, just for the week end so you can play happy again with you favorite THE BODY CHANGER ^_^. First of all, as told, we have finally a intro for the game with a better introduction to the story, more info about what's going on and how you got involved with the no-end mission. We used 3D cut-scenes made with game engine plus some 2D gfx for building fake e-mails. We a…
Super fast news today, just for a rapid point of the situation! Btw have you tried last BETA ? You should.. ;) ...in any case before moving on last Sector we have fixed some bugs and written the list of toDos - it's on the picture, it contains many things plus some new stuff for a higher replayability - you will find out. ;) What are you saying? You can't read it? Ehi, we know you hate spoilers…
While you will need to wait longer for the (April) 2D Ultra Edition :P from today, if you own the game, you can play with the new BETA, version 0.9.0. This beta is a HUGE step forward of THE BODY CHANGER because you can now play 9 of the 10 levels the game will have in the final version. So, current v. 0.9.0 contains : · 4 new and complete levels/sectors , all connected with many different batt…
We take some time but finally we want to show you the super new version of TBC, called ULTRA . Here is it: Because people that follow Indie project usually prefer 2D pixel graphics like old 16-bit era , we switch our engine to a 2D version that can handle pixel like hell! Real time lighting, fake prospective management, more then 10 layers of parallax, real time reflection.. 2D as its best ! Th…
Hi all! Finally we complete Sector-08 with all of its part. Last parts are done and tested and balanced again and again. Here are 2 shots from last action-puzzle: There is more but we prefer that you find out by yourself. BUT we work hard and fast also on Sector-09 and you know what? It's almost done . Take a look: It's a big area with different puzzle and a lot of stuff to do in Sector-06 styl…
Last week you saw the new Sector-08 with screens from first part, today we want to show you some new progress. Thanks to more testing the first part that you saw changed a bit. We removed a collectable key because it was useless, on gameplay side, re-ordered some invisible triggers and balanced the enemy-groups spawn order again . Why again ? We decided to introduce here a new bonus for the Igh…
Sector-08! As told in last news, last week we were on Sector-08 . The map has changed a bit more and the final result, in 3D, is this with some restyle and resize: And now let's focus on the gameplay side: the sector is divided in different zones with different things to do but it's more or less all around protecting each other while solving the puzzles and trying to reach the level end for pur…
Hi people! Previously on TBC ^_^ : Sector-07 is almost done . Almost because but we need to change some stuff for the Sectors exploration order - some new area needs special objs/ability so we must be sure that the player don't get stuck and that he can come back to previous Sectors with any problems. But today's update it's all about Sector-08 so let's go into it! Last announcement had a previ…
Hi all after the Ubuntu release we are of course working on the new Sectors. Currently we are building Sector-07 and designing Sector-08 . Sector-07 is more or less more action oriented after a completely puzzle oriented Sector-06. The idea is to make a more dark zone then the rest of the game and all focused on exploration and fights in big rooms with new monsters - yes we have a new genre, he…
