We've got our three new hires signed and assembled now. They will start later this month, let's see how it goes!

Thanks again to our community for letting us expand our party on this quest to make premium life-changing VR anime games

#indiegame #gamedev #virtualreality

We're working on a 50+ page PROJECT MIX 3D art bible to help new artists joining us adapt to the style we need.

Honestly, there are almost no resources for 3D anime environment art. We haven't perfected the style ourselves either, but we're working on it!

Here are the demo downloads for PROJECT MIX demo by country.

I'm pleased how well this matches with my localization priority predictions!

Please expect localization update for demo later this year for Simplified Chinese & Russian. We'll fix things for the JP localization too.

#indiegame #gamedev

Man, this shot still goes hard. Can't wait to show more of the PROJECT MIX world, we have a lot planned.

Even with stylistic liberties, we're making the most faithful depiction of 1980s/1990s HK ever seen in a VR game.

YouTube video by MustacheAI This VR game is truly immersive

Wtf this fan-made PMIX video has over 100K views!!
I can't believe it. In the first 2 weeks, it only had a few thousand views.
The video is so well put-together and shows the game off really well. Check it out if you haven't!

Some ghosts from the past

Finally cleaning up the project folders, in preparation for new hires joining

There's 4 years worth of random bloat, some files are a total mystery LOL
Developing the demo has been a sprint the whole way so there's been no time to slow down and clean stuff up properly until now

#indiegame #gamedev

The earliest PROJECT MIX demo was so bad it was like injecting wasabi into my eyes, but it was also a crucial part of getting the project to where it is today

#indiegame #gamedev

We haven't been showing off work because we're busy writing documentation, compiling moodboards/refs and putting together art guides to make the hiring as smooth as possible.
Also doing lots of production planning. Can't wait to build the game content though!

Just released a small update for the PROJECT MIX Demo! We worked on optimization and updating some of the visuals.

#indiegame #gamedev

Its like the wider game industry but even worse because there's even less money and its even more trend-driven. However, the upside is that there's hardly any competition, so if you do the right things you can stand out easily.

I think with how volatile the VR game industry is, depending on publisher/platform funding means certain death unless you're willing to bend to the trends - which doesn't guarantee success either.

You have to be your own marketing force and plan for a no-funding or minimal-funding scenario

We're hiring for our third role - a skilled 2D Graphic Designer!

You'll be creating posters, advertisements, signage, and other in-world graphics to support environmental storytelling.

This is a remote part-time role that will last 6-8 months.

#indiegame #gamedev #GraphicDesign

The translation from Japanese to English may be a bit scuffed, but this is what Meguro-san has to say about contributing guest compositions for PROJECT MIX!

#indiegame #gamedev

We hit $200K thanks to late pledges—Shoji Meguro (Persona, Catherine, SMT) is officially joining PROJECT MIX as guest composer!

Track count TBD, but his sound will help define the game's sonic vision. Huge thanks to all our backers—this wouldn't be possible without you!

PROJECT MIX - Upcoming VR Indie Title Inspired By 90s Anime! A Character-Focused VR Anime Visual Novel that breaks the mold of existing VR Games.

Look at that! Just roughly $5600 until we reach the $200K Shoji Meguro goal!

We've decided to enable late pledges at least until we meet the next stretch goal, and it's going up slowly but surely!

RT appreciated!

We're hiring for our first role!

Do you want to join a small passionate team working to create the future of VR anime games?

We’re looking for an experienced 3D Prop Artist to help bring our game to life.
You’ll be creating high-quality, anime-style, hand-painted assets.
#indiegame #gamedev #vr

There's a lot going on and to be done, later this week I'll post a roadmap to keep you guys updated

Lastly, the late pledges are going well(just around $7k till the next stretch goal), so we'll keep it open!

#indiegame #gamedev

While this is to be expected, the crowdfund money is a bit short since some people cancelled their pledge + payment issues. We'll find out in two weeks when the bag arrives.

It's not too bad though since I'll be seeking publisher funding to make up for any shortfalls, and that's looking promising.

Damn, I can't believe I'm making job application posts. We will hire some roles soon and will put out posts on every platform.

Having a project budget is a revolutionary thing to us LOL
