A Sneak Peek at Our Anticipated 2025 Release

As anticipation builds for our upcoming demo release for Project Makina, we are excited to share where we currently stand in our game development journey. With the music and story already completed, and code at its final stages, we are at a crucial stage, especially since the artistic elements are still in progress. Here’s a closer look at each component and how they are shaping up for our eagerly awaited demo!

Code: The Backbone of Our Game

The foundation of any game lies in its code, and we’re glad to report that this aspect is nearly complete.

In the upcoming weeks, we will prioritize bug fixes and performance enhancements. Our testing protocol runs concurrently with development, helping us identify and resolve issues early. This phase is thrilling, and we cannot wait for players to engage with what we have built!

Music: Setting the Mood

The soundtrack is designed to adapt dynamically, enhancing emotional moments and elevating the overall experience. During intense encounters, players may hear a score that heightens the tension, while lighter scenes will feature upbeat melodies. As we finalize our tracks, we are integrating them into the game to ensure they align perfectly with gameplay elements. We are eager for players to experience how music enhances key scenes and elevates the overall gameplay experience, especially during the fight scenes!

Round of applause to Patrick!

Story: The Heart of Our Game

At the core of our game is a captivating story that we believe will resonate with players. The narrative has been crafted, creating a world filled with memorable characters and unexpected twists.

We’re excited about how the story unfolds with player choices affecting outcomes, interactions, and relationships. We are currently refining dialogue and character arcs to ensure smooth storytelling. We aim to provide a narrative that players will want to dive into repeatedly!

Art: The Work-in-Progress

While our code, music, and story form the core of our game, the art breathes life into these elements. This is our focal point, and we recognize that it remains a work in progress.

Our art team diligently creates visuals that capture the game’s essence while complementing our narrative. Although we have made significant progress, we are committed to not rushing this creative process. Producing art that resonates with players takes time, and we appreciate your patience as we refine this essential aspect.

Below is some WIP:
