It took a long time to get here, but we made it! You can now fight, explore, and survive in the world of GunSpectre!

GunSpectre started off as a hobby project that bore little resemblance to the game you see in front of you today. Many months were spent tinkering and experimenting until we landed on this being a mostly non-linear action game. Locking down an audio and visual style also took quite some time.

Last fall, I was convinced that we were near the end of development. A smaller version of the game world was completed, and we were quietly making plans for release. Around that time, we were approached by Clickteam with an offer to publish and support GunSpectre. Seeing as the game is made with Clickteam Fusion, working with them has been a slam dunk. This gave us the push to make a larger and more polished experience.

I hope this was worth the wait. I won't list off the games that inspired this, but if you like 8-bit action and adventure games from the 80s and early 90s, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Some of you may even experience slight feelings of nostalgia as you make your way through GunSpectre.

I just want to give a huge shout-out to Oleg Klaus for his help with artwork and a mess of other things, J. Snakeman for keeping me on task, Clickteam for their amazing support, and my significant other for standing by as I spent many sleepless nights making this happen. I'd also like to thank everyone else who supported this project and patiently waited for its release. You know who you are.

Thank you so much for playing, and happy hunting!

Hope everyone has had a good couple of weeks since the last log. We would have shared more, but much of the stuff we've been doing lately has been heavy on spoilers!

What I can share today is that we have been adding in brief scenes to GunSpectre. These will pop up at key moments such as the start of the game, visiting a new area for the first time, and few other places. They are short, sweet, and not intrusive.

Typically, a scene starts as a hastily made scribble. This gives us a rough idea of how things should look and where they should go.

After that, we clean it up and make adjustments until it is visually appealing and consistent with what you see during gameplay, and we get everything moving with Clickteam Fusion.

We hope you're looking forward to encountering these scenes when you're finally able to fight, explore, and survive in the the world of GunSpectre. We'll be sharing more as we get closer to launch!

As always, adding GunSpectre to your Steam wishlist is greatly appreciated.

Stay tuned!
