I'll be completely honest, I've never read these Steam news updates before, and I'm mostly posting this as a test. I don't have any major NEWS news to post. This is kind of the awkward stage of game development where there's still a ton to do before the game is in a shipable, or even beta, state. I want to share lots of cool stuff, but everything is in a rough, incomplete state. I'm making steady progress every day, though: a feature here, a bug fix there, some art iteration everywhere. It's a slow process.
The good news, though, is that if you really want to get into every detail of the development process, I'm streaming Fist of the Forgotten development every weeknight from 7:00PM-Midnight EDT on twitch.tv/jitspoe/. Feel free to swing by and watch, ask questions about game development, or just say hi!
Fist of the Forgotten is a platformer set in a harsh, dark world, but that doesn't mean you're helpless. Relics passed down from your family allow you to interact with forgotten technology and fight your way forward.
3D assets and high framerate physics allow for perfectly smooth, fluid animation, even on monitors that display at > 100hz. Mechanics in the game, such as sliding down slopes and grappling allow you to build up and maintain momentum.
Fist of the Forgotten's narrative contains no dialogue, so you are free to pay attention to the details to understand the depth of the story, try to uncover alternate endings, or simply focus on flowing through the levels as quickly as possible and enjoy the gameplay.
