• Early Credits Sequence Preview! - 13 February 2021

  | Real-time or Pre-Rendered? So when it came time to create the credits for this game, I really wanted to do something special to attribute all of those who have helped me along the way in creating this game. I created a quick mockup of what it might look like in real-time, just real rough.. but as I kept watching it, I kept picturing something far more dynamic and impactful. That's when I decided to throw together a mockup in After Effects. It didn't take long before I realized that I had made my decision to go pre-rendered. | It's still a draft though The presentation is pretty much finished at this point, however even this draft is already missing a name that will need to be added in, which could change the flow of things a bit. That being said, consider this my formal request to anyone who feels they're not properly credited for their work in Diamond, please contact me directly and…

• AVG Anti-Virus Issue Reported - 11 January 2021

  Update: Straight from AVG themselves: "Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. The detection by AVG was incorrect and was removed in a recent AVG update, please wait at least 24 hours." Well crap... So it recently came to my attention that Diamond has caught the attention of the popular free antivirus AVG. Now while I'm sure bringing this up to folks who weren't affected might seem like a bad PR move, I do swear by transparency and wanted to let you all know what's been done and being done to resolve this. Upon running the game, the antivirus software appears to scan it, classify it as clean, and then very quickly revoke that by reporting it as suspicious. The culprit appears to be related to IDP.Generic, which is a new one to me. Apparently AVG is notorious for false positives... This issue only appears to be affecting AVG as neither Malwarebytes nor Windows Defender…

• New Music! - 10 January 2021

  Right off the bat, there are a bunch of new tracks added to the game. These tracks have a fairly wide range in variability to keep things from sounding too stale for too long. As of now, a random track from a pool of 15 will be chosen. Upon entering a new section, a new random track will be selected, regardless of whether or not a new track just started. This is to aid in hopefully making the jump to a new section feel more substantial. On that note, the variation between sections is one I've been thinking about for a long time in terms of what to do to help make each section unique without having to overhaul too much of the game. As of now, this is looking to be more of a color variation in the core level structure. This would be fairly simple to add and with a more restrictive pool of music specific for each section. This might actually work in helping set a mood for each section or a…

• Quick Update - 6 January 2021

  So first and foremost, I'd like to keep everyone here up to date on what's currently happening and what happened with the latest update. Specifically, why it's taking so long. What's in the new update so far: New Music! 15 new in-game tracks to be specific. New sound effects! Not everything is replaced yet though. Added polish to some visual effects, including the initial player state and color changing! Fix for why many sound effects weren't playing properly or even at all for that matter. So what went wrong? Well the update was just about ready to be released, but I had some weird issues when playing the stand-alone build prior to uploading it to Steam. I thought maybe the issues were related to the Steamworks API not linking up, since it wasn't running in Steam, but unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case. First off, a lot of long-standing issues with sound effects not playi…
