Progress update Christmas special episode
🕑 Added 2021-12-14 00:04:21 +0000 UTC
My apologies for not keeping you guys updated this past week-end, I was busy working on the Christmas special and I totally forgot to post the weekly update.
But I come with great news, as the Christmas special episode is complete and ready to be released.
I still need to send it to my testers, but it will be out in a week as planned.
So far we have :
407 Static renders (I had originally planned around 600, but I had to delete two whole scenes, because I wouldn't have been able to render the animations of theses scenes in time.)
40 animations
Around 1100 lines of dialogue between characters (translated in both french and english)
100 % fun.
I'm proud to say that this has been created in 2 weeks and a half, and that it took me around a week to photoshop the renders, customise the overall look of the game, work on the music part of the game and translate it to french.
I'd like to mention that even though the quality of the renders are somehow still good, I was experiencing a new way of rendering my scenes, and some renders may look a little blur sometimes.
It's just like when I was working on The Entrepreneur v0.2, it took me a few tries and probably over 60 renders of one and same image to find fully understand how things worked and how could I achieve a good quality on my renders.
I didn't have time to experience this new method, so it might not be perfect, but I assure you it will be for v0.3.
I've decided that there will be a free version of the game with no animations.
The game with animated scenes will be available to chicken tiers and up.
You may not know it, but I like to hide easter eggs and such in my game, and this special Episode hasn't been spared.
Hidden characters from some famous franchise of videogames I used to play as a kid, upcoming new important characters of v0.3, recreation of a famous scene of one my favourite tv show, and many more, I hope you'll find some of them.
There will not be and update progress for v0.3 next saturday as I will mainly focus on the release of the Christmas special and therefore, won't be working on v0.3.
Although, I will come with a public poll regarding the model for the January renders of the month ! This time, you'll have to choose between Alexa and Laura.
Hope you're all as excited as I am.
See you next week !
