Hey there, Bert Here! I'm the coder and writer for Abyss; Eclipse and welcome to the first Dev Log! So... Uh... I don't have much to show it.  I'm still working on it, but so far it's coming along well. Here's what I'm planning on fixing once the first update comes out!

• Slowing down movement for tutorial

-So yea, no speed for you I feel like the movement is a bit too fast to actually read the text if just moving straight. Even if that's not what you're supposed to be doing >:(

• Barriers behind player during tutorial

You know what's lame? Trying to make something and then having it break because it's not played exactly how you want it to. And not even in a good way... So I made it so you can only go forwards! Muhahaha! I'm so evil aren't I?

• Fixing last bits of text in tutorial

Yea, For some reason...(Trying to make the levels in a day) The text wasn't very helpful. So I went ahead and fixed that. Now you should be able to shuffle around much easier!

• Fixed Button Interaction

Ugh... This one is still a problem. But I got the jist of it down so it won't bother you while you're playing! This is the main reason I'm not going to release the update. Sadly as much as I want to just toss it and get back to writing, it sadly broke all the text in the second part. Heh... I act as if it was ever fixed to begin with...

• Text resizing

Would you believe me if I said the text being terribly warped was intentional? No? Yea. That's fair. Either way I'm working on fixing that! 

• Cameras being poorly positioned

Once again, the curse of the time limit strikes again! I really had to rush to get those cameras into the game. 1 day to basically place all of them in some superficial place. As a photographer, it hurts to see how terribly they're positioned but I'll figure out how to fix them, sooner or later.

• Lack of stuff to do in the demo and padding out this devlog

Wha- Hey! I didn't just do this for nothing! I was trying to make sure people knew we were still working on this game! In fact this game is far from done!

• Whatever you say, Bud.

Rude... But yes, we've only just begun! Of course this is a process and we're really focusing our resources in properly planning out the story and gameplay so we don't have a repeat of what has happened here. Our very messy planning can be blamed heavily for how much we have to show for a month time's work. As you saw above, there's an art piece! That's actually draw by yours truly ;) It was made for Halloween, but was posted late. So here ya go!  I think that's all for now... Hopefully next time I have more to show for it. It's going to be a while before significant changes will be made though. I'll also try and make some drawings for the devlogs from now on :) Until next time, Bert has been here and is out! I really gotta think of a better exit.
