Devblog #1: from DeathStick to Akatori
Hello everyone!
In today's devblog #1 we’d like to share some news regarding the development and other important updates. And we do have A LOT of subjects to share and discuss here cause it's still the early development stages, so stay tuned!
First, we have an important confession to make. DeathStick wasn’t meant to be the game’s name initially. We simply hadn’t time and resources back in October to come up with a real one. So with a little delay, we finally created a real and final title for the project – Akatori.
A short introduction to the meaning behind Akatori: it consists of two Japanese words: 赤い “Akai” – red and 鳥 “Tori” – bird. It refers to a red canary the main character meets at the game’s start, which transforms into a staff and becomes her weapon after that.
This title is shorter and quite memorable, or at least we hope so. Thumb up if you like Akatori more than DeathStick :') (We'd be really happy to receive any feedback from you on this topic).
To other important updates:
The first in-game location – “Azure Roots Garden” is almost complete. We’re already working on the other locations that were shown in the teaser – “Metropolis” and “Haunted Ruins”. A preview of other gorgeous locations will be shown within the following updates.
Besides the main content, a significant part of the in-game UI is complete, which was the hardest part of the development so far (who would have thought lol). Here is the most recent part – the save slots menu:
Those were the news that we wanted to share for now, thank you for following our little game here!
P.S. (are memes even allowed here?)
