C V0.3 Update List
🕑 Added 2019-01-11 23:10:20 +0000 UTCHey guys, this is the full list of everything that is going to be added to the next version. Everything is 90% sure to be in the update, some very small things may get cut but it mainly includes variations of speech for smaller characters, or random items that don't serve a real purpose other than just having.
-7 New Characters: Sam, Jazz, Mary Test, Susan Test, Louis Griffin, a Secret Character, and Dexter's Dad! It was a lot more characters than I expected to add but they won't be getting a whole ton of attention at the moment so I can focus on the characters I already have.
-Each game day now has 4 different times of day. There is a Morning, Day, Night, and late night! The late night is only available for players that choose to stay up, but most events will take place in the first 3 times of day.
- 2(Maybe 3) New Locations. Very small additions, like Gumball's Kitchen, a classroom, and I'm not sure about the third one. I'm not always home alone when I work on this, and it can get pretty hard to concentrate on programming. When that happens, I just switch to working on the art a little while to at least make some progress with that. I have a few works in progress, so if I add it, it will also be a surprise.
-New Phone Apps. I added the banking app that will let you see some of your money flow but it's kind of just that. For the moment, all money in the bank and cash on you are the same thing, future versions will make them separate. A notes app that keeps track of objectives you pick up while playing. This way, players always have a good idea of what to do next to progress with a character without being given a whole walk through in the game itself. A contacts app, but because of the bugs with just a few characters, only the real important ones will be added. There you can check on the status of a character, you relationship with them, and more in the future.
-The bag finally work. There's a few item's to pick up while exploring, and now you can get a full view of what you have and you get a little description of what it is. This is going to be a good way of adding minor Easter Eggs. I also want to add trophies or collectibles in the future, not sure if I should do trading cards, figures or some things along those lines.
-New Speaking view. I got the suggestion to add a blur to the background art when a player is talking to anyone and clear it up when they leave the conversation. It was a really simple thing to do so I decided to give it a try and see if it was worth trying. I think it's really cool, and it might be my favorite addition to the whole game. If only I could have thought of it myself!!!!
-Some characters have new facial expressions. Only the Main character, Dexter's Mom, and Susan as they are the main focus of the game. I would have liked to add Nicole, but I'll make it a goal to add at least 2 extra expression minimum for every character on the next update as that one will mainly focus on adding more art and story as oppose to expanding the game.
-A few new animations. I wish I had more and I'm not really sure how many will be added, but Susan and Dexter's mom will get their own unique animations with a few variations. Nicole does as well but her's does not have as many variations. The DP animation is almost done as well and that will be really the only hardcore animation that you can get when you unlock the instahub app.
-All character's are more than just placeholders. As stated before, Dexter's Mom, Susan and Nicole will have much more to say and do. All the other character will also get a bump and have different interactions, depending on the time of day or day of the week. Some also have small missions, although I have yet to think of when the player will get as a reward yet. Feel free to leave a suggestion for a mission or reward from any character you want. There is still lots of time for me to change things with the minor characters
-Good/Evil response system. Very small at the moment as I want to see how people feel about it and if I can even pull of the branching dialogue well enough to keep it going.
These are the major new additions to the game, some smaller stuff is also in the works but everything above is what is 90% certain to show up. The only reason I would cut any of them would be for major bugs or something out of the ordinary keeps me from adding it. I hope you guys think this is worthy of an update and I'll be posting way more like this. Tomorrow I'll have a new poll that I missed last week for Patreons, and more previews of all the new stuff I listed. I hope you all have a great weekend and I will be back tomorrow.
QUICK EDIT
I never announced the winners of the last poll. The top 3 character that are already in the DP animation are Dexter's Mom with 40% of the votes. Nicole with 20% and Susan just barley getting third with 14% of the votes. I am never sure if you guys can see the results. Please remember there will always be more polls and I do plan to go back on all the animations and adding as many characters to each.
Comments
Yes, I posted a quick update an hour ago. Sorry for not getting back to you guys earlier, I was just so busy with other things going on in my personal life but now Im having a much better time handling everything than a few days ago. I'll be giving more details on the update but it shouldn't take much longer than a few days to finish whats left
Yes, sorry for being gone and not giving any details. I made a post about being back about an hour ago. Right now I'm taking a small break from working on the game to reply to comments, and planning out what I want to finish by tonight. From the looks of what's left it should only take a few days if I keep at it
Any news on the update?
