Road to Episode 3 - We're still alive

GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead

An unique blend of retro-fps, metroidvania and adventure. Escape the cyber afterlife you've been trapped into, hop between realities and shoot your way out with the help of your new allies. But are they really your friends? The Arena conspiracy goes deeper than you could possibly imagine...

Welcome back, everyone! This is Mothership from Daev Team. I've been silent since the release of Episode 2 both because we were busy gathering feedback on that, and because me and the others needed some time to rest after delivering the second act of Ghostware's story. But the silence doesn't mean I've been slacking: I am fairly confident in saying that we'll be on track with our promise of delivering the Third and final episode by the first half of this year: EP3 entroduces way less novelties in terms of gameplay or code, so, unforeseen consequences notwithstanding, the development will proceed as straightforward as it has been so far. At the time of this post, I have completed 85% of the first level, 75% of the second, and done the blockout + started the first pass of the third and fourth main levels. Also, my co-developer has worked on a few flashback levels that are supposed to happen in between certain points of the main story, helping entroducing the Newcat/Katz character that has been mentioned in passing throughout Episode 2. Some of these are supposed to play between the events of Episode 1 and 2, so we've figured out a way to letting players who've been with use through development without forcing them to start the game from scratch. This is all for now, just brief reassurance that the project is still on track! Now, have a few new screenshots as a treat!
