Where's the update?Looks like it's the end of another month! The team has been working on a few things and I wanted to take a moment to clarify. Dinobyte Softworks had evolved in ways that I couldn't even imagine. Right now the team is hard at work on our Unannounced First person Narrative game. We have been working on it for a little over a year now. It has taken us a while to really find out what we wanted to make of it. Unannounced title?Yes, we are working on something new. It's still mainly in its infancy but we are loving what we are building. Once its ready, we will reveal what we have been working on. Stay tuned, you wouldn't want to miss out when we announce it. What happened to BlackHill???Yikes where do I even start?
BlackHill has been part of my game development journey since the very begginning. My love for the little pig started back in 2013 when a programmer and I teamed up to create a Flappy Bird Clone. We thought, well why not!? After the games release on the Google Play store I set my sights on a bigger game. However, I didn't know what it was going to turn out to be. Fast forward to today.... The story of our little pig has gone through many changes. Now we have been hyper focused on making it right. Currently the team size for BlackHill is 4. We were trying to get the demo ready just in time for Steams Next Fest. Unfortunately we will not be able to make it by the deadline. Instead, we will be releasing the demo when its ready to Itch.io and as a demo build on Steam but not during the Next Fest. BlackHill's development will still continue, we actually brought on 2 new hires for the project. Marc O' Kelly an Illustrator & Sequential Artist (Marc O'Kelly (artstation.com), and Ciarra Pemelton a Narrative Designer for the game. With their help, I truly believe that we can making something that's enjoyable to play! Whelp that's all for this update! We I will see you all next month to give another update on how everything is going.

I would like to thank everyone who has followed/checked up on the game so far! We are really trying to build something special and fun. There are some new updates to the project, I will be discussing them below. (this will be a text based update, no images) …maybe Website You are already here! :) Game Update The game itself has seen better days. We (me), hit a designer block recently and it kept me from making regular updates to the game. I had to step away from the game for a little bit. Now recovered and at full force with the game. The demo is what we are still working on. We want it to be the best that It can be. Soon we will be looking for testers so we can ensure quality for everything we put out! Providing us feedback and reporting any bugs seen in the game. General Updates Once thing that this project needed was a set time to give updates on all our major sites that we give updates to. (yoyo games, tigsource, amino app, discord, patreon) We will have two different types of updates. If you are a patreon supporter, you will receive the updates first. Then later would be the regular updates to all the other websites we update the game to. BlackHill Webtoon This is a bit of exciting news for us. We will be launching a WebToon series for BlackHill in the near future! We are excited to tell other stories within the BlackHill universe. More details on this will come soon! And that is all everyone! Sorry that it didn’t have any images this time We will be continuing to update everyone on the status and development has we make strides towards the release of all things BlackHill! Thanks you for taking the time to read this! Jonathan | 27 November 2019 The Dinobyte Softworks site has gone live!
Holy crap this is really exciting! Lets get everyone who hasn't seen the game up to speed on who we are and what we are working on! Currently the team is working on a little game called BlackHill, which is an amazing 2D pixel platformer with some topdown elements that will have your on a journey through a world which our protagonist Bo (piggy) is seeing for the first time. We are hard at work making this game as amazing a sit can be. This site will be used to keep everyone updated on the progression of the game, as well as any other projects we are part of. If you are really looking forward to our game, be sure to subscribe to our mailing list, and follow us on twitter! This will help you stay updated of any new blog posts/ info on demos/ beta releases and in the future the release of the game. We want to share this grand adventure that Bo will be taking, with as many people as possible! providing us feedback on our work/development of the game. Huge thank you to anyone and everyone who has followed us so far! See you in the next update! |
