A new month, new goals!
🕑 Added 2024-01-05 13:57:20 +0000 UTCGood afternoon,
I hope you all had a good start into the new year! I've been straight back to reworking existing scenes since the beginning of the week.
Another point this week was the rework of the MC's dialog pictures. The version I reworked at the beginning of last month had caused a certain amount of discontent, which is why I felt it was necessary to improve it again. I hope that the new version is now acceptable.
As you can see in the title picture, I then worked on Imawyn's old animations and pictures in the tent. As I'm writing this, I'm still rendering background images.
In the last few days I have also been working on the topic of shadow generation, something that has always been omitted in past animations. Since the characters themselves don't cast shadows, I have to create them in the editor afterwards. Previously this was static, but now I want to create them dynamically frame by frame. Imawyn's new animations will now be the first to have them, and I hope that I can make future animations even more realistic this way.
I hope to finish the rework of Imawyn's content today, but since this also includes an additional implementation of the new animations in the later game (after taking over the camp) I'm not sure if this is all possible today, so if necessary I will continue on monday.
This brings us to this month's further planning:
My original goal was to finish 0.5.7.0 by next Friday. However, there is still a lot on the todo list and I'm not sure if I can really finish everything by then. The balancing is not finished yet, Julia's love route needs an urgent overhaul, additional game content like new animals to hunt and new craftable equipment, more dialog edits which take reference to the fact that the MC might already be married... just to name a few. All this in one week, sporty. We'll see how it works out, but I plan to get to the end quickly and then work on the update for Kate & Claire.
Yes, they won out over Penny's update despite initially being behind. I would have loved to finally work on Penny (adding farm animals and the new area with the coldstone estate). However, Kate & Claire's journey was really long overdue and even if the final destination, Kirlic, cannot be reached for the time being (because it simply hasn't been implemented yet), the temporary final stop will be the old boar inn.
The innkeeper and his wife there have their own worries and if Kate's father's companions are still alive they will cause further complications. So I will do my best to make it an interesting next milestone on their journey.
I'll go into more details about this update when the actual work has begun. But for now, let's get back to the rework.
Thank you all for being there again this year! I wish you all a nice weekend!

Point taken... But this is sadly nothing I can fix easily without a ton of workload :( I'll keep it in mind for the future

Mhm it seems like there is a problem with multiple attack elements (Dawnbreaker has both sword & fire) I will look into it and I hope I can find a way to fix it.

Chyos I love the new animations of the new reworked scenes but I don't like the lighting, it's too bright and lit up, I loved the past lighting because it was dark and it felt like I was sneaking in at night to smash these MILFS. Please bring back the darkness :)

why doesn't the tainted dawnbreaker count as a sword when I hit brigands who are vulnerable to swords? It seems to only be good against orcs honestly. Is there something I missed that explains that?
