Unity

Hello! It's been almost a month, so let's update!

Maybe I spoke too soon. Witch Doctor Kaneko is still in the planning stages, so there isn't much I can reveal about it yet. And I'd rather reveal things down the road when I know they're going to happen, rather than get up false hopes and have to backtrack later on. So believe me, I'll reveal more details when the moment is right. It's just not now.

That said, there's one very important thing which I can mention. Witch Doctor Kaneko will be created using the Unity game engine. I feel extremely optimistic about this decision, because you can pretty much do anything you want in Unity, as long as you have the motivation. And believe me, I do!

To show you an example of Unity's power (and my own skill), I reproduced a very memorable scene from the first episode of Umineko no Naku Koro ni.
Be warned, there are spoilers! You may view the video here!

I was able to program it in less than a week's time, so Unity has been very easy to get the hang of. I've continued messing around with Unity and made a very basic platformer engine, which I'm liking so far. I'll continue to be hard at work on both ideas and programming, and the best part is that I will be able to show some of these things off! Until then~

Wow, nice job on the twilight. Out of curiosity, do you have freedom to roam during the scene or was the movement preprogrammed? You got my imagination running wild now!

Movement was pre-programmed, although the camera's rotation could be controlled with the right mouse button. It would've actually been easier to just give the player control of the camera's movement, rather than setting up a system to zoom to a particular location (such as the speaking character) based on the text, but the latter makes more sense for a visual novel game.

Noooo! Not spoilers for Umineko ep 1! I was just about to play that one!

But really, that is quite cool. Can't wait to see what comes next from the cat box of your imagination.
