Everything from the characters to the level select menu is getting a fresh coat of paint, a little lip-gloss and their eyebrows <del datetime=\"2017-02-03T16:17:58+00:00\"> on fleek<\/del> looking very nice.<\/p>\n<p>But seriously though, we&#8217;re adding a few extra features. It&#8217;s pretty cool seeing everything come together this quickly now that we&#8217;ve got a few extra hands on things. Right now we&#8217;re looking for an easy method of adding the game&#8217;s lighthearted story via text boxes (think the standard JRPG styled talking heads) into the pre-fight banter. There&#8217;s also quite a bit of evolution in terms of character design, with many playable and non-playable characters becoming more expressive in their faces and gestures. While the game will keep its cartoonish charm, we&#8217;ve amped up some of the tonal details and made sure some characters look more menacing than others.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-238\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-238 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zemindgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Vmenu1.png?resize=840%2C630\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zemindgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Vmenu1.png?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zemindgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Vmenu1.png?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zemindgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Vmenu1.png?resize=768%2C576 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our preliminary draft for the character select screen in VERSUS!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also enlisted our interns (who are very talented) in bringing our art to life. They&#8217;ve begun to add key frames and effects to our more demanding animations, and everything is going smoothly. Don&#8217;t worry folks, VERSUS is high on the priority list and we&#8217;re pretty excited to show you what&#8217;s happening.<\/p>\n<p>This game already includes over 3 different comics, as well as over 20 different levels for you to play in. While you may have noticed we often release smaller, pet project games from our interns\/co-ops, rest assured that our next big release, VERSUS, is going to knock your socks off.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie Ze Newbie<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to see what we get up to on a daily basis, follow us on social media!
