Look, my obsessive compulsive illustration of Seattle:

Yay! Finished another scene for the opening! Sam wakes up early in the morning just like the rest of us (most of us?) and thinks about life as he gets ready for work.

Our wonderful BG artist finished the background artwork for The Diner - where our story begins!

Work in progress snapshot of Sam getting ready for work (you might not want to think about that on a Saturday ).

PCPowerPlay finally published their awesome review of Put A Sock In It! on their website! Check it out here! [Link]

DOWNLOAD FREE FROM: TRAILER Did someone ask for: * 90 unique-ish endings? * 30 profound-ish life lessons to learn? * Sock puppet humor and violence galore? The Story of Socks Serena "This isn’t even the worst place I’ve been locked in. * sigh * We don’t think about that, Serena." What would you do if you were trapped somewhere for a long time? Put A Sock In It! dares ask the question: How far would you go to entertain yourself? With all her coworkers gone for the weekend, no way of contacting the outside world, and no hint of rescue in sight, Serena will discover that maybe, just maybe, her best friend is actually herself. And these puppets she just made from her socks... You play the game by selecting each pair of characters, for a total of four combinations: Princess x Wizard, Ghost x Stable Boy, Wizard x Ghost, and Stable Boy x Princess. Each pairing gives you control of the situation and relationship from one of the characters' point of view. For example, in the Princess x Wizard pairing, the Wizard has abducted her and you play as the Princess, guiding the story with her reactions -- do you hate him, or could this be love? Princess Hobbies: Being happy, exploring, upkeep of castles, keeping tabs on neighboring princes. Dislikes: Stuffy high society, imprisonment. Wizard Hobbies: Being powerful, subjugation, kidnapping, stealing, hexing, destroying enemies, summoning magical creatures. Dislikes: Disobedience, paying for things. Ghost Hobbies: Being spooky and mysterious, haunting, revenge. Dislikes: Traitors, killers. Stable Boy Hobbies: Spending time with animals, pitchforking things, dreaming of princesses. Dislikes: Non-vegetarians, the dark past. Summary Having locked herself in a stairwell, Serena is quickly beginning to run out of distractions. Thankfully, she has two colorful socks and a penchant for amusing herself. So, to pass the time she will weave short, humorous skits based on your selections between characters of your choice, with storylines ranging from romantic melodrama between princess and stable boy to violent quarrels with an evil wizard. This game features one setting (Magic Kingdom) with four characters (Princess, Ghost, Evil Wizard, Stable Boy), altogether coming in at a little over 20, 000 words with all the variations. * The game has sock puppet violence, and some suggestively risqué dialogue on the odd occasion.

Without further ado, we are presenting the A Near Dawn trailer! Let us know what you think!

We have a brand new website! It only took forever to put together... With this finally done, I can jump back on the trailer.

A new character has joined the ensemble - The Kid!

This is how I do my research, apparently. [REDDIT LINK]

Another scene finished for A Near Dawn:

A scene of Sam running in the project I'm currently working on - A Near Dawn

KICKSTARTER | WEBSITE | TWITTER | ITCH.IO | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | TUMBLR | LEMMASOFT Update #10: Mysteries and Science Fiction in A Near Dawn Our KickStarter wrapped at 76% ~ We didn't quite reach our goal. It will be nice to take a little break and reflect on things. You can download the full Prologue for A Near Dawn FREE on Itch.io (Russian Version available, as well) / Steam / GooglePlay (Android Version) A Near Dawn is a visual adventure created by Leonid Pilchin. It is the first commercial project from Far-off Daydream Games. A Near Dawn is an enjoyable yet devastating psychological thriller with amusing highs, gut-wrenching crashes, and mature themes. While grounded in reality, supernatural and science fiction elements will unfold as the story progresses. The opening sees our main character - Seattle-based attorney Sam Nichols - who seems to be experiencing disturbing psychological difficulties, exposed to progressively dire circumstances that threaten to unravel his reality and destroy those closest to him. Haunted by personal demons, with your law firm struggling and on the brink of collapse, you take the helm on an important new case involving a ruthless multinational corporation, defended by some of the vilest people you ever had the misfortune of knowing. The odds already seem stacked against you, but you will soon learn that things are not as they appear, as a deeper conspiracy begins to emerge. Where will you end up if you keep untangling the threads? You must be brave to uncover the truth. This project is an interactive visual novel adventure featuring: Beautiful artwork and animations rendered in 1080p Immersive cinematics with some frame-by-frame animation Original music composed for the game Full voice audio provided by some very talented actors Puzzles to solve - the flow of this game is inspired by traditional adventure games Dynamic decisions that alter the course of your interactions with others - rewards or consequences for your actions Psychological tension - the main character has a darker personality who will come to the surface if you feed that darkness Multiple endings - there is one true ending, but your successes or failures can take you off course Episodic narrative - This is a full game, but it is part of an ambitious project with a far-reaching storyline The plot will not progress without you, you are in control of the main character's actions at every turn. You will explore your environment and speak to other characters to learn about what is happening and what must be done. A key concept of this game was to give as much freedom and put as much detail into the content of the story as could be managed, as such you will have the option to skip important elements of the game not necessary for advancing the main plot if your character chooses to ignore them or fails to explore them. At the same time, you will not be able to move forward without resolving issues necessary for advancing the story along. In fair Seattle, where we lay our scene. We're getting close to finishing art for the opening! The neighborhood diner near your workplace. Our story begins here with a chat between two of our protagonists over a lunch that goes terribly wrong. Where, oh where could this be?
