To all my Underside fans, skip this post, because it might make you a little upset at what I’ve been doing in my free time. Everyone else feel free to read ahead.
As is apparent from the image above, I’ve been hard at work on Merry Gear Solid 2: The Ghosts of Christmas Past. I’ve now completely outlined the plot, and I’ve begun work on the script. Fans of the Metal Gear Solid series won’t be disappointed, as I’ve made every effort to make the story and dialogue as convoluted and incomprehensible as possible.
The game engine is written from scratch, ditching the old grid-based movement from the first Merry Gear Solid, and adding 8-directional movement.
Reprising his role from the first Merry Gear Solid is Duncan, who did all the voicework in the first game in an incredibly short amount of time. Yes, that Duncan. With the amount of time I’ve allotted to developing the sequel, hopefully the quality of the recordings will not be MERELY PASSABLE.
The release date will, of course, be some time in December.
