Hey guys, Brandon here. Just letting you guys know that Ato’s DEMO is coming along nicely, it’s still taking time as there are still bugs that keep popping up and slowing down progress. But all in all the demo is pretty well contained and supports controller/keyboards. Work has been invested into optimization work so that the game will hopefully run decently on less powerful computers. Of course it would be best to play the game on a computer with decent hardware.

I also had to spend several weeks on the audio code so that it was flexible enough for me to implement sound panning and better music fading. Which of course involved fixing plenty of bugs.

The demo will be pretty limited in terms of options, but you can certainly count on the final game having a wide selection of configuration options when that eventually is done.

I haven’t touched the IndieGogo page lately as I’ve been pretty busy with the demo. But once the demo is in a somewhat stable state, I’ll be trying to get a video going and make some adjustments to the Indiegogo page when I get around to it.

For those who don’t know, I have setup an @AtoVideoGame Account, so you can follow that for more Ato game related news and screenshots.

Hi everyone, this is Brandon.

I just want to let people know what is currently on my mind for these next coming months in terms of game development.

If you don’t know, I have been quietly working on a new game called “Ato”. It’s an atmospheric, sword duel focused platforming game.

The story is told purely through visuals without dialogue

Ato’s gameplay combat is focused purely into duels against a variety of opponents.

What is next?

My current plan is to launch an Indiegogo for it, the goal will be small compared to when I tried to kickstart Nameless. I’m in the middle of putting a demo, video and other assets for the page. Once the crowdfund attempt launches, I will likely be trying to contact several people and work on the game along side that. Whether or not the crowdfunding attempt succeeds/fails, my goal is to finish this game sometime this year, as I don’t really see this project as something that was intended to be super ambitious in the first place. That being said, I still will give it my all to polish the game as best as I can. I hope you guys look forward to this project.

Global Game Jam 2019 Behind the Scenes

If you remember Day of the Dad. I finally got around to making a video of some recordings I did at Cincinnati Global Game Jam 2019. Take a look and enjoy some fun behind-the-scenes clips on its development.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time Randomizer

Also, if you like Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I did a highlight video of VideoChess‘ and GigiDigi’s stream of them playing this modified version of the game.

It’s still the same game, the only difference is that the treasure chest items and major pickups have their items randomized. Meaning you could get surprised with a rupee from grabbing a heart container, or a Gold skulltula from a chest, etc. Take a look below to have a good time.
