Welcome back to the Little Squid Dev Blog!

AUDIO & SCRIPTS & DEADLINES, OH MY! There was a lot more behind the scenes/business action as a studio this month, so we didn’t have a lot of cool shots to share out on social as much. Never the less, here’s what’s been goin on!

AUGUST BUSINESS! This past month we've:

• Written a full script for the intro
• Implemented more narrative elements like text boxes and distinguishing internal vs. external thoughts
• Made even more background/art concepts
• Scripted (but like, the coding kind) & tested a new mechanic we’re excited about adding in
• Opted into the Autumn Steam Festival (more to come on that!) 
• Applied to another online event (EGX Digital)
• Made more headway on audio effects & soundtracks (we’re basically foley artists now which is the real dream) Let us know which ones you like best here.
• Tuned into the Nintendo Indie World Showcase and Gamescom
• Continued working on getting a demo ready & outlining our next round of playtests

‍

AUGUST GAMES! We actually got some gamin' in this month.

• Destiny (shoutout to Mason who facetimed us to play)
• The Master Chief Collection 
• FALL GUYS (it’s all the rage)
• Moving Out (having moved about 5 times in 3 years, our skills did NOT translate) 
• Slay the Spire (Brittney reached the fourth act on only her second play-through - didn't even know there was a 4th) 
• Witcher 3 (we’ll finish it one day, but we completed the main quest of Gwent)
• Sweet Existence (an adorable table top from Nathan Pyle's Strange Planet comics)
• Magic the Gathering  
• D&D!  (After 8 months away, we finally got a virtual setup to play with) 
• Zelda Breath of the Wild (100% it after 3 years)

What have you been playing these last few months? Anything we should be checking out?

Thanks as always for coming on this endeavor with us. See ya on the internet!
