Unto The End News

Autumn

Hey everyone

Wanted to share a GIF that Stephen and Sara at 2 Ton Studios produced a little while ago, but I've been holding on to it, waiting for the right time to post it.

After taking a walk through some woods and seeing how Autumn is taking hold over the landscape, now seems to be the perfect time:



Love the gentle sway of the tree and the grass, and the movement of the leaves as they fall to the ground. And the way the grazing animals casually flick their ears is such a simple-but-incredibly-effective touch. It's just a wonderful scene to look at. Very chill.

Really looking forward to seeing more of these little moments of beauty in Unto The End.

A spot of sword practice

Hey everyone

The 2 Ton Studios GIF dispenser has been yielding some particularly delicious fruit this week (thanks Stephen!). Cast your eyes downwards and you'll see a couple of rather lovely looking work-in-progress clips showing Unto's protagonist engaged in a spot of solo sword practice.

Practice


Dusk On Bridge


There's so much I'm loving about these: the exertion of those swings, the movement of the cape, the contrast in environments, and – with the figure silhouetted against that richly coloured background – just how visually striking the bridge scene is.

Awesome stuff.

If you haven't already, please feel free to add Unto The End to your Wishlist. Your support really helps and is greatly appreciated.

Until next time!

Character animations – running up (and tumbling down) that hill

Hey everyone

So since the announcement of Unto The End work on the game has continued at beaver pitch, which is similar to fever pitch, but involves more beavering away. Basically, the 2 Ton Studios dev team has been extremely busy over the last few weeks.

Below are some of the results of all that toil, specifically a few of the main character's gradient-based animations. Please note that all of these are still work-in-progress:

The uphill slog:


The change of pace:


The slide:


The tumble:


We'll have more development updates to share with you soon. Until then, try not to fall down any hills. And if you haven't already, feel free to add Unto The End to your Wishlist. Your support is greatly appreciated.
