Previous Devlog #56: Time For Change
Progress update with new songs! and new gifs! and subtle hints at the future! and featuring our friends over at Skookum Arts! Hello again everyone! If the summer weather is hitting you hard, Im sure youd love nothing more than to visit a tropical paradise. One with pristine beaches, plenty of attractions, and an army of card game enthusiasts. Unfortunately, a place like that may be hard to find. Lucky for you, that perfect place is within reach in Luckless Seven!
Join the mailing list! We send out emails approximately once a month with the latest happenings and dev diaries! Work continues to progress well for Neropolis. Were continuing to make changes to the city based on feedback weve received over the past couple weeks.
The dialogue system continues to advance! In the next couple of updates we will show off the even newer-UI look for the dialogue system and the choice/response menu. https://store.steampowered.com/app/433370/Luckless_Seven/ Besides work on the environment, weve also been busy populating the city and making it the most NPC-filled place weve made yet! Neropolis will feature tons of people you can battle for practice, money, or cards. The most challenging opponents can, of course, be found in and around the casino.
The journey to Neropolis will have you see the sites, meet interesting locals, and then CRUSH THEM IN BATTLE. Read on our website for the best formatting experience. (Larger Pictures/Gifs on our website because Steam images are limited to 2mb). On the music side, weve also whipped up a new victory and defeat theme to play at the conclusion of battles. Our composer Brandon has been cranking tracks out like crazy, so if you havent checked out his SoundCloud in a while, be sure to catch up on his newest masterpieces!
Just non-stop victory! All the Ekosi Cards! All the Monies! And All the Stars!
Join the L7 Discord! Get in here! The water's fine! Outside of our game, we wanted to do a shoutout to our good friends over at Skookum Arts. This small team of talented developers are working on an amazing game called The Pedestrian. The game is a 2.5D side-scrolling platformer where you solve puzzles in an environment where you move through signs (youll get the gist of the game after looking at one picture).
GIF: The Pedestrian by Skookum Arts. Fantastic game with many beautiful environments. Jesse had the recent pleasure of making a trip to their studio in Waldo (wheres Waldo? Its near the center of...), Ohio (another Ohio game dev???). The fine folks at Skookum have a small, cozy area in the woods where they are making the finishing touches to their game.

If you like puzzles or side-scrollers, be sure to check them out. They also have a short demo (20-35 minutes) on their website and it's a fun play!
