Year End Updates

What’s New?

Hello!  It’s so good to see you again!  I know it’s been a while since last I blogged, but I guarantee you that’s not because I've been sitting here picking my belly button.  At least not exclusively.

Some of our most recent developments, while very exciting and important and cool and fun, are not necessarily blog-worthy.  I figure now, as the year comes to a close (yay!), it’s a good time for me to share a little of what we’ve been working on behind the scenes.

Writing

Guess what!  Eric and I recently finished writing all of the dialogue for the game!  An exciting milestone for which champagne was required.  Woo hoo!!!  

Animation

Just last week, I signed a contract with an animation studio in Toronto (Little Blackstone) to handle our 2D animation needs.  They’re a lovely group of people, and we’re thrilled to officially be working with them.  Here’s a sneak peak at one of the first animation cycles they did for us.  I’ll be writing a detailed post about our animation process sometime early next year.

Voice Acting

Come January 8th, our casting director will begin auditions to find voice actors for the game.  I can’t tell you how excited I am to hear actors bring our characters to life.

Sound Design

We’ve got our sound designer!  Julian (along with Bay Area Sound) will be taking care of our foley, sound effects, and any other non-music/non-voice sound needs.

Composer

I just realized I never told you who our composer is!  The soundtrack for Voodoo Detective will be composed by none other than Peter McConnell.  He’s set to begin work on the soundtrack in February of 2021.

Coding

I’ve been doing a lot of coding lately since my attention can be undivided during the holidays.  While everyone else is experiencing holiday cheer, my soul is slowly turning to silicon as I organize ones and zeros into logical perfection.  This game is going to run even better than Cyberpunk 2077.

Logo

Did you see our new logo?! It’s at the top of this post.

Happy New Year!

I think that’s about all I have to share for now.  I hope that before the end of next year, you’ll all be playing Voodoo Detective for yourselves.  Until then, I’ll sporadically share these posts as exciting developments pop up.  I sincerely wish you all a happy, healthy new year!  You’ve earned it!  

Love,
Eric Fulton
