Realm 3 - Progress Update + Image Previews
🕑 Added 2023-11-01 20:15:27 +0000 UTCHey people,
We have our final count for the images in this update, which totals over 700, making this much bigger than our typical releases. I've included some images at the top of this post :)
We're making great progress on the next update, but we still have a lot to finalise before we release. I'll bullet point what we've got ready and what we've got left.
What's ready:
+ Almost all of the images are completely finalised.
+ Animations have been animated.
+ Most of the new user interface has been implemented in the game. Just a few bits to finalise.
+ Three new music tracks.
+ Glossary entries are all written.
What we need to do:
- For the images, we have an action sequence (56 images) that we need to finish lighting, rendering and post-work.
- Animations still need to be lit, rendered and post-worked.
- One more music track.
- The last few user interface elements need to be implemented.
- Glossary entries need to be implemented in the game.
- The final script needs to be coded and tested.
It's going to be a mega-busy couple of weeks. Both Tae and I are really ill right now, but we're eager to get this first update of Realm 3 out to you all as soon as possible.
Tae and I are going on our first-ever holiday together (after being together for over five years) for two weeks at the end of November. While I've been working with our programmer and Shoe Lace has been working his magic on the images, Tae has posed the images for the second update. This is good as it means that while we are away, the team will still progress nicely with the second update.
However, it also adds pressure on us to ensure we get this update out in the middle of the month. It may result in us not having some of the finer details there on the initial launch. For example, we wanted to add in-game and UI sound effects and a full Realm 1 & 2 recap, but with everything else we need to get done in the next two weeks, that will be difficult for us to sort. So after we release the first update, we may implement some upgrades to it as we continue.
Aside from Realm 3, you may know that we fully remastered Realm 2 for Steam, and we've not yet uploaded that to Patreon. We now have the Android build ready, and we will be launching the remaster on Patreon tomorrow for PC/Linux, Mac & Android. This will be available for all who can already play the game on here.
Thanks all. Have a good one!

Thanks for the update. I hope you and Tae are getting and feeling better. Nah, no pressure. I'll take whatever I can get from you guys because you both and your team are the best, have been working hard, and earned a nice break. Congrats! I hope you and Tae have fun on the holiday you both are planning. I can't wait to replay Realm 2 again.
