Welcome back followers of the fearsome!
This week we’ll be going over some quick art updates that we’ve managed to get into the game in the last stretch that really added a lot of value to our favorite bow blasting battler!
There’s quite a bit of weaponry that you can unlock in Viking Squad and everyone gets their own variation on a weapons theme. The Bow guy has always been a little lack luster in the weapons department because the only thing that got updated was his dagger which isn’t really his primary “Hero” weapon. That always bugged us a little and as the game gets ready to ship there isn’t a lot of areas where we can cram in more art which is simultaneously frustrating and relieving in equal parts.
Luckily we found a pretty easy solution to the problem! Adding some upgrades to the tips of the bow that matches the equipped weapon really brings out a lot of visual interest. It also didn’t take too long to have every weapon in the game have it’s very own flair. A very cool and easy way to give Bow- Viking players a bit of a surprise whenever they unlock new gear!
We also want to announce that we’ll be showing the Squad at this year’s super awesome Twitch Con in San Diego! We are super stoked to be showing our game at a very cool convention. Last year Kevin Regamey of Power up Audio and I (Jesse) went to Twitch Con to connect with people and get into the Twitch scene. It was a great experience and now we’ll be all going down to represent Viking Squad on the convention floor!
Also we’ll be giving away some tickets while we ramp up to go so be sure to follow us on facebook and check out our twitter for a chance to win ’em!
And speaking of that super cool streaming service; we’ll be jumping on the Dev-Stream today at 4pm-6pm PST! Be sure to drop by for a whole pile of fun and art slams with the Drawbarian!
So that’s it for this week! Thanks a pile for checking out what’s been going on here at Slick! Nick and Caley are hunting down bugs and passing our game through those rigorous Technical Requirements Checklists to make sure Squad can hit the masses! Hope you liked this weeks gander at the game and until next time, keep those bows looking super cool!
