@Probo
working on it ^^

@Manupix
I was going the contra route with the title screen, but yeah it is pretty boring, so I messed about with it again today; it now features more space, more time, and less poultry ( I think I could fit a nebulous space chicken in the back?)

I also tried balancing the small type better and pulled the large type apart a bit
Though I don't know how to have the type convey the story of a time traveling chicken or.. anything really.. how does one relate story elements via typeface?

Sorry I'm only replying now, didn't have my computer for a couple days, hence also no progress to report yet (except that I can't animate wings for shit and really need to work on that)

@ Daimoth
Well, damn it, I'm gonna have to this, don't I? Allright then, as soon as schoolwork lightens up a bit I'll see what I can do

@Probo
There's something that has a crippled cock as a mascot? Amazing

@lachrymose
Oh my god. Yes. Definitely. That is awesome. The game over screen could be a plate of chicken bones

@YellowLime
Truly the world currently is a horrible place for all of chicken kind and it requires a hero of time to make a change.
The srpg thing was never set in stone so when lachrymose offered a really nice concept for having it as a metroidvania style game, I just went with that^^

@Fizzick
I don't know, I felt the palette didn't work too well together so I shifted every shadow to be slightly purple-ish and I kinda prefer it that way O:

Thank you

Hm, I might try that, though I haven't really animated anything this size before O: The last thing I did animate however was a chick so this could become its legacy xD
Perhaps some flapping of the wings could work... *goes off to watch some videos of chickens chickening about*

It's never actually going to become a game due to my easily getting bored of large projects; the closest it could get is probably the mockup, so I'd be very open to suggestions of other genres I just said rpg as that was what I thought would lend itself best to a story with a heavy focus on the protagonist's journey. ...actually now I'm thinking that it might be interesting to try and make a genre work that wouldn't be intuitive at all .. a visual novel? a flightless bird's shmup? a cow clicker even? xD So many interesting possibilities... I'll have to meditate on this some more, but I can tell this'll be fun

[edit] Ooh, could you imagine a game focusing on diplomacy where you have to make your own image pervade the culture of the past so thoroughly that in the future there's religion based on your chicken and that is what saves them? O: Or that being a choice like what bioshock did with the little sisters, that you could go either for killing your foes or... diplomifying them (yes, that is a word now)
That could be really cool O: ...and I probably shouldn't try to flesh out the mechanics too much for something that won't happen xD
