Mukashi - Scrolls of Hope

The first of many Mukashi animated gif's!

I received a little "help" on this edition of the development diary, discussing some of my gaming background and influences to Mukashi's design.

Yuto Pass is currently under construction, for use in the next development diary.

The summer holidays are coming to an end. It's been a lot of fun with my lady and the kids, trying out kickstarter, and in the past couple weeks, the rebuild of the Mukashi character.

This week I have spent some time bringing the website up to date, improving the Mukashi Journal format, and introducing the first set of community competitions. The idea is to provide a platform for aspiring designers and artists to showcase their talents. At present there are 2 types available - History Panels and Creature Concepts. History Panels are a set of images, that will be manipulated and animated for use in videos detailing some of the worlds history. Creature Concepts are at a minimum one image of a creature, friend or foe, that dwells in the relevant environment.

In this first "post kickstarter" dev diary, I highlight some of the major changes the project is going through and display some new character animation upgrades.

In the fourth development diary, I review the kickstarter project and give thanks to those who got involved.

As the Mukashi kickstarter came to an end it was clear the OUYA exclusive wasn't going to reach its funding goal. It was always a long shot, given its platform exclusivity and time constraints.

During the final week of Mukashi's kickstarter campaign, the game received a great write up in one of Indie Game Magazine's "Screenshot Weekly" features. Check out the preview and Indie Game Magazine's website here.

In the third developer diary I describe some more of the design process - taking ideas from concept to production.

An example of how Mukashi has improved visually over the first 6 months of development.

In this second development diary I showed some of the hardware involved in early development of the game.

Special mention to Killswitch and Sluuup from the unofficial ouya forums.

Here is the first "Developer Diary" where I go into some of the inspirations and subject material behind Mukashi - Scrolls of Hope.

Provide any other relevant changes or information about Mukashi and its kickstarter
