We are testing and bug fixing like crazy. There still are many issues, like the sun popping out from the day/night bar, BUT the game is in a good state, so your wait will soon be over.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!?!

We have an important message for you all:

Since our last post, many things have happened. HeartBit Interactive is very close to the epicenter of the Covid-19 epidemic in Italy, but luckily, none of us, or of our families, or friends, were hit.

With the power of smart working and a little help from the mighty Spaghetti Monster, the team is still developing Doom & Destiny #Wordls!

So don’t you worry, your favourite nerds are alive with full HP & MP!

Have you ever wondered how video games are made?
WITH PAPER, OF COURSE!!!

While the work on Doom & Destiny #WORLDS started in 2017, our game designer only started recording his day by day work on paper in March 2018.
2 years later, he reached page 200 

He does it to help visualize his mad thoughts about the game and keep track of small bugs and hot fixes (big ones need a big computer).

Does any one of you nerds is a game developer? Do you still use pen & paper to support your work? Do you still use pens or paper in 2020?

FUN FACT: the reason why we still use paper is because in 2012 we printed many, MANY, pre-filled receipts hoping to speed up the sales during a fair. Long story short, we didn’t sell anything and we were left with a ton of half used sheets of paper. Instead of throwing them away, we decide to “recycle” them using the white back of each paper.

GUESS WHO WILL BE BACK in Doom & Destiny #WORLDS!

We are aware that many of you are asking for a closed/open beta of the game, but we built Do&De Worlds differently from our previous works.
In our previous games, each small area was done from start to finish (mapping, enemies, treasure, dialogues), but in Worlds, we focus on each aspect on the WHOLE game.
So, for example, we started mapping the WHOLE world, then we moved to add the trees, then the bushes, then the treasures… and so on.

Now it’s the time for the story and the dialogues.

If we release now a DEMO, the game will be unplayable ’cause the player will have NO IDEA where to go and what to do as even the smallest goal or item description is not explained.

This is how HeartBit Interactive works… This is ho DESTINY works!

We hope this long post didn’t bore you to death.

Stay tuned for more!

Can this big stony head really be smarter than Francis???
The story of Doom & Destiny #WORLDS is really full of twists!

But the biggest mystery is: why that stony head is wearing sunglasses in a cold and snowy environment???

I guess we have to wait Benjamin to finish writing all the dialogues!

More news about Do&De #WORLDS development coming soon!

Not to argue or anything, but WE were delaying games before it was cool 🍝

Making games is a difficult job 🐉

Making the assets (graphic, music, stuff like that) is hard, but managing to make the game FUN is super giga hard.

There is no mathematical formula or exact rule to follow…

Managing to combine every aspect of the game and craft a memorable gaming experience is like magic:
if you do it right, amazing things might happen,
but if you don’t, it might backfire on you, #blow your hands, #burn your skin and turn you into a #frog 🧙‍♂️💥🐸

Sorry for the lack for recent post, but our beloved Benjamin failed a Constitution saving throw and got sick.
 
Now he is fine and it’s back to work with just a few less HP.
 
Doom & Destiny #WORLDS 🌍 will be an open world adventure. Total freedom of exploration is given to the player, but we still want to tell a story and many colorful characters, old and new, can be meet to get information and buy stuff.
 
In these days, Benjamin is focusing on writing the story and dialogues. Wish him luck and pray for the Flying Spaghetti Monster to give him inspiration 🍝

This month was spent testing and bug fixing… Mostly bug fixing since for every hour of game play tested we ended up with 3 hours of debugging 😅
 
Snow was particularly tricky to implement, but now, if the weather is cold, instead of raining, it snows and the ground is randomly covered in sweet sweet white snow ☃️
Now the player can build snowmen for no particularly reason 😁
 
Let’s close this log wishing you all happy holidays.
We are going to take a break till next year, so…
MERRY FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER 🍝
see you in 2020 🎉
