Massive Update!

As I’m taking Project Stormwatch to Animangapop… Today, in a few hours 😵‍💫🥱😴 I needed to get as many updates out as possible for this! Another reason I wanted to get as many updates out is because of feedback I got from showcasing Project Stormwatch at previous events. I decided to put a lot of time into creating a tutorial, and demo flow, with help from Finch. 😊

So now theres lots more lovely narrative bits from Finch in here, you can begin to learn about Luc, Alaric and Mabel. There is also voice acting!! And dialogue cutscenes, battle conversations, missions, a whooole new tutorial map, and loads more.

Please give it a play and let me know what you think!

If you can’t play, here is a video of me playing through the demo 😁

Steam - Wishlist the game!

I’ve now got a Steam page up! You can wishlist the game now, yahooo! The trailer is quite outdated, but we can ignore that for now 🤭
If you wishlist you are now my best best best best best best friend foreverrrr 💖

Social Media

I’ve also been playing around a lot with socials, and making lots of funny videos. My favorite so far is the Squid Game memes I’ve made with Luc, Alaric, Mabel and the MC

❓ Question

I asked this in my last post, but I’ll ask again, as opinions might have changed as narrative has been put in! Who is your favourite so far? Luc, Alaric, or Mabel?
