DOG IN INFINITE - Devlogs

[DaniJam]

Hello Melonland!!
My name is Dani!
I'm gonna be posting lil devlogs about my friend and I's RPG to this thread, was gonna do devlogs on YouTube, but with the current state of that site, I don't really want to, at least for now.

About:


Dog In Infinite is an RPG I've been making with my friend.
As to not spoil anything just yet, it's about a dog who loves urban exploration, unconventional supernatural beings, a guy with a TV violently stuck over their head, lunar magic, a repressed homosexual Willy Wonka-type guy, and the Moon. Hope that grabs your interest enough!  



I've been working on it for about a month and some change, I'm doing character designs, spriting, RPG Maker stuff, story, all that jazz, my friend's done help with character design and story and honestly I could not have done it without her she is so swag

I've had the idea for this game for a while it's (loosely) based off of a dream I had that really struck a chord with me. Not all of the stuff from that dream is still in this version of the story but the core themes are still there :3


Graphics:
I don't have too much to share since we're still pretty early into development and I don't wanna give too much away, but I do have some enemy designs!!

I had a lot of fun with these!! I really wanted to put a main focus on seeing how many different styles I could make enemies in. As you can see, there's a lot of mixed media. For the Grave dude, I did paper cutouts, the Tree dude was a physical drawing colored with alcohol markers, there's even some pre-rendered 3D which I was really proud of since I've always wanted to experiment with that.
I'd like to try more stuff out in the future, maybe for characters other than enemies too! 

Mockup Screenshots:

Check out these RADICAL screenshots from this month's edition of INSANE-O BONKERSNUTS GAMING MONTHLY!

(Note: INSANE-O BONKERSNUTS GAMING MONTHLY has already rated the game 0 Cans of Gamer Juice out of 10 because there's too much dust and not enough skateboards and rebellious backwards hats.)

But yeah, these are mockups! These actual areas have been finished in-game as they're right at the start, but they're still actively being tweaked! I'll show some real screenshots next time, I promise!!

Anyways, that's really all I have for now, besides this SICKNASTY video of the game's main theme! Pulled a fast one on ya.

For realsies, that's all I've got to show off for now! I'd like to show off some cooler stuff next time, so stick around!

P.S., oh, yeah, there's also this guy.

Bodacious! I love those enemy designs- the visual variety reminds me of ENA Dream BBQ.
With YT out of the picture at the moment, do you have plans to make a website for promotion and devlogs?

Look forward to seeing this game come together

Thank you so much!! :D
I do plan on making a personal site for Dog In Infinite eventually, probably soon tbh!
If not a website, than I'd like to do some kinda newsletter, I just have to find the best means to do it.
Thank you for your interest though!! :3

Excited to see the development of this project! I'm also a huge fan of the enemy designs (toy bird is my favorite so far), love the different art styles while also keeping within the theme. Keep up the good stuff, best of luck!

I was gonna say exactly what Nikodile said. It's like the dog is fighting clip-art.

Thank you!!! I've always liked the early clip art aesthetic so that's a major compliment!! :D :D :D    I've been trying to study that artstyle and also artstyles adjacent to it as well! B)

DEVLOG #2!!

Hey y'all!! 
Welcome to the 2nd devlog for Dog In Infinite!
This time around, I have a bunch more stuff to show you all!

THE WEBSITE
First of all, the website is up!! :D
Check it out at https://dogininfinite.neocities.org/!
There's not too much, but there is a couple music tracks and a video up for viewing! (We'll get to that one in a bit.)
I also plan on adding more pages in the future, so stay tuned!!



SCREENSHOTS

INSANE-O BONKERSNUTS GAMING MONTHLY™ ™ ™ has some SICKNASTY-RADICAL
NEW SCREENSHOTS in their latest CRAZYGONUTS-SWAGBALLIN' new issue!

Check 'em out!!

(Note: INSANE-O BONKERSNUTS GAMING MONTHLY has a review copy of the game that puts it on ez-ez-ez-ez mode or else they wouldn't review it at all.
They also have stated that "Beavers are stupid and should never be in games." They liked beating up the beaver. A lot. They would keep loading up the game to do it over and over.)

AND FINALLY! THE COOLEST THING IN THIS DEVLOG, I THINK!


THE PROMOTIONAL TAPE:
Along with the review copy, we also sent INSANE-O BONKERSNUTS GAMING MONTHLY™ ™ ™
a promotional showcase video! Unfortunately, those bastards digitized it and shared it all around the net, so I have no choice to show it off publicly now.

This promo tape contains footage of what's done so far, and even some rooms made specifically for mockup reasons!

In closing...
Dog In Infinite's development is well under-way and honestly, I'd even say that it's going pretty wonderfully!

Thank y'all for your support!!

Not gonna lie: I'm very pleasantly surprised with the presentation of this project and the artstyle!  I love the multiple artstyles idea, and that the whole idea is based on a dream. I can't wait to see how weird and symbolic this is going to be 

I also appreciate a lot how you're showing these devlogs through magazines and tapes. Getting some analogue-looking thing going on

Thank you so much!!!! :D  I've been tryna put a good deal of effort into the presentation!! It's really fun to make a bunch of weird stuff simply to show off something as simple as screenshots or gameplay footage.
I'm happy you are interested and intrigued by the idea as well!! Thank you for your support! It means a lot!! :D :3
