NeonTail ProgressPreview84 New Skies
Hi guys, a little #screenshotsaturday of my project Neon Tail , highlighting a couple of new skies! I've also added a menu when taking a nap that allows you to choose the sky you want. There's a bug with her legs inside the couch though, but I'm on it. Have a nice week end! 🙃

We keep thinking about how to give our Patrons proper rewards to show our gratitude, one idea we're trying now is to give you the 3D mesh file of those figurines in the game. You can use it to 3D print them for instance. But please don't spread it or use it for commercial purposes.Two figurines are released this month.

NeonTail ProgressPreview82 Combat Progress
Hi guys, it's been a while! For this #screenshotsaturday about my project Neon Tail I'd like to show some progress with the combat system. I've set up Navmeshes, a spawning system, updated some AI codes, added animations, effects, made the recovery hop direction controlled by player, added momentum to its ending to allow a smoother escape from hordes, and improved the aerial hadoken, adding a directed double jump at the end of it for easier horde escape.Times are hard lately, I hope I'll be able to finish this project.Have a nic...
What did we do this week? (Jan 27th 2021)
Fei : I've been quite worried this month, worried about our sustainability as a game company, worried about our financial status, worrying about uncertain side job that was supposed to help us keep going as a company, all that worrying was hard to live with, and at one point, I simply stopped worrying. Just do the things and stop thinking about things you have no control over. Funnily enough, that fact was kind of reflected in my new plot mission dialog, as Ruby's body awaken to her true nature, she's having an existential crisis, a...

NeonTail_ProgressPreview81
Hi guys, I haven't posted any #screenshotsaturday for my project Neon Tail for a long time!I'm actually modeling the second chapter's new important NPCs.As for something to show that is added in the game, whenever you wear a full set of a costume, such as this Dragon set, I'll add a little Emote animation. I have yet to add a sound to this one.Have a nice week end! 🙂
What did we do this week? (Dec 9th 2021)
Fei : This period was quite funky, mostly due to my second vaccine shot. It didn't really affect me much in the sense I didn't get sick, but I just couldn't sleep because somehow it made my throat burn whenever I lay down, causing my first night being 2 hours long, and ever since messed up my sleep cycle, which somehow messed up many other things.Like my eating routine, my exercising, my working conditions, etc...Anyway, I finally finished the new Material Trading shop, I sculpted Telopern, who is the exiled Alien working as the mys...
What did we do this week? (Nov 25th 2021)
Fei : Most of the time my life is about working all day, sometimes I feel nothing much is going on but I get a ton of new things in the project and while all is emotionally "flat", it is still satisfying overall for the progress made. Then sometimes things get out of control, I don't know what I'm doing anymore for what purpose and I get anxious and although I try hard to get things done those things are plain wrong and ends up done for nothing, and even though I know in this case it wasn't my fault, it kinda broke my workin...

What did we do this week? (Nov 4th 2021)
Fei : So, whatever keeps the company running and the project going. If finding a publisher won't be a solution, we're taking a side job to keep us afloat.So I've been busy with that, this side job will slow down the production of Neon Tail but it won't stop it one last bit. We will use this money to upgrade our computer and survive as an indie game studio in production of this ambitious cool roller skating game of ours!Since last Patreon update, I fixed bugs, fell sick, got vaccined, spent a lot of time researching my biggest co...

What did we do this week? (Oct 14th 2021)
Fei : This past two weeks were quite unusual as we finished a big update, I made a trailer and started looking for places online to talk about the game. I did spent a lot of time doing researches. I've spent surprisingly quite a lot of time updating all our graphic assets from Steam and various forums / platforms like GameJolt or Itch io, each platform having different requirement for their graphics.The big time sink was that for instance Steam's graphic assets often have features requiring the graphics to work on different settings suc...
What did we do this week? (Sep 30th 2021)
Fei : I've been working on a post-Chapter 1 trailer that would compress and highlight as many new features as possible. The night time being the most visually impactful, I decided to introduce the new Trailer with a tiny jpop/kpop dance.我æ£åœ¨è£½ä½œç¬¬ä¸€ç« 節的é 告片，並且盡å¯èƒ½çš„把新的è¦ç´ 與亮點包å«é€²åŽ»ã€‚夜晚的城市ä¸çš„視覺呈ç¾æ˜¯æœ€æ£’ï¼Œæˆ‘ä¹Ÿæ±ºå®šåŠ å…¥ä¸€é»žæ—¥æœ¬/éŸ“åœ‹é¢¨æ ¼çš„èˆžæ¥ã€‚However, it became quickly more a puzzle to solve rather than a dance animation, as the song I chose starts wi...

What did we do this week? (Aug 26th 2021)
VideoFei : Streaming went haywire today. But I had Mint Chocolate and Walnuts and that combo is delicious.It felt kind of therapeutic to watch things not working while knowing it's not your fault and there's nothing you can do. At least if you got Mint Chocolate and Walnuts nearby.Anyway I hope this won't happen again!今天直æ’出了å•é¡Œï¼Œä½†æ˜¯æˆ‘åƒäº†è–„è·å·§å…‹åŠ›å’Œæ ¸æ¡ƒï¼Œé€™å€‹çµ„åˆå¾ˆè®šã€‚看著事情ä¸é †åˆ©çš„åŒæ™‚知é“這ä¸æ˜¯ä½ çš„éŒ¯ï¼Œä½ ä¹Ÿç„¡èƒ½ç‚ºåŠ›ï¼Œé€™ç¨®æ„Ÿè¦ºå¾ˆæœ‰æ²»ç™‚æ•ˆæžœã€‚è‡³å°‘å¦‚æžœæ—é‚...
What did we do this week? (Aug 12th 2021)
Fei : I had a little talk with my partners and because of the amount of stuff I do I can easily stuff those articles with just the bazillion little bugs I fixed and features I added. However it is neither exciting for you to read nor fun for me to write.There are enough other places where I post about the progression of the game (screenshot saturday, devlogs, streams, and social medias) so the point of these articles are quite weak.So I'll talk about other stuff here. Yes Neon Tail is a huge part of my actual life, but in order to handle th...
Neon Tail Devlog 08
During last stream, someone suggested I try out this #shorts thingy, so here's one. From where I am today, I really got nothing to lose from trying out stuff. :)
What did we do this week? (Jul 29th 2021)
Fei : I wrapped up a first melee feel of the Combat System. The Plasma Mist, the Poisoning, the Detonations, the explosions, the sound designs, delayed detonation timing with many visual and camera movement effects to handle the overall feel of the combat. I think it has a reasonable first feel as it is now and an interesting twist compared to 99% of all the other game's combat. I'm of course talking about the skating. Also about the combat, I've added a new enemy AI and animations. There's also Recovery animations.Overall the n...

NeonTail ProgressPreview78 - MONO Monologue
Hi, it's been a very long time since I posted any #screenshotsaturday !I've been polishing the first chapter of my project Neon Tail for a while now, trying to improve what's already in the game any way I could. Which includes reordering and completely reworking my missions to improve the learning curve.Meanwhile, I've also been adding mini cutscenes.Character development is often under developed in indie games in my opinion. Many Final Fantasy games spend ton of play time on them and that's also what I've decided to do....
NeonTail ProgressPreview77 - a mini cutscene the first time the player meet some characters
Hey guys, a little #screenshotsaturday of my project Neon Tail where I did a mini cutscene the first time the player meet some characters.I'll probably populate the plot missions with that kind of mini cutscenes, hopefully bringing some life and personality to my characters while keeping the production time cost low.Have a nice week end! 🙂
What did we do this week? (Jul 15th 2021)
Fei : I created a new personality for Tybalt Von Badyke, along with a new mission, where I show off his new animations, and applied his new craziness through his new dialogs.I've also added Optrellian's character development with a Cinem mission.I polished the first SFS Pro match with the Acid Frog, adding a new music, some new sounds like applause booing, and laughing crowd noises.I added new Triggers for the new area. Now upon touching certain triggers, the world's sky lights and reflection maps will be updated gradually, and trig...
What did we do this week? (Jul 1st 2021)
Fei : I've added new character development missions, cutscenes, drew a dozen new portraits, a dozen animations, and a ton of new dialogs. Added a new crepe cutscene with Optrellian, a new laughing cutscene with Natixta, reorganized the Cosmetic Manager, updated the Save Screen system, added the Crepe save item, implemented the eating crepe cutscene, updated and recorded a dozen new ghost files, finalized the first dream sequence level design, polished the Dialog Trigger System, fixed the ghost boosting missing FX, updated Lero's worksho...

What did we do this week? (Jun 17th 2021)
Fei : It's been a tiring month, I've moved to a new home with many problems to fix, water leaks, broken walls, broken this and that, repainted all the walls, cleaned the house, probably breathed some dead cockroaches poops, organized my new life, yaddi yadda.I still worked very hard on Neon Tail nonetheless. I've added many small cutscenes that I believe will bring an emotional layer to the players while increasing the feeling of a world full of life.I've added crepes as a consumable saving item, a cutscene where Ruby and Optrel...
