Update 10 checklist
🕑 Added 2023-11-20 12:47:57 +0000 UTCHey everyone, been a bit quiet here, sorry about that. Just how it ends up being sometimes where there are periods of there not being a whole lot to be shown off. So instead I figured I'd do a little rundown of what is planned for update 10, as by now a bit of a checklist of importance formed itself.
Reminder of course, we'll have the WIP update at the beginning of December, and then the proper update 10 on the 1st of January.
Scene-wise, we had two evening scenes as the absolute bare minimum for what I hoped would be in update 10, those are (as voted by the 10$ supporters):
-Fixing Wolf's shirt (Written and mostly fixed/ feedback adjusted)
-Fife lesson with Wolf & Julian (Only Written)
Lower priority scenes are:
-Apologizing to Nomax (Not started yet)
-Rajeeyah dinner (Not started yet)
-Fixing Wolf's shirt (80% done)
-Fife lesson with Wolf & Julian (70% done)
Lower priority scenes are:
-Apologizing to Nomax (Not started yet)
-Rajeeyah dinner (Not started yet)
Honestly, scene-wise we are so far looking pretty good. I wouldn't be surprised if we manage to sort out all of the planned evening scenes, and with some luck even start with our next day. But if those two scenes above are my minimum estimation, then getting all of these done would be the best-case scenario for the update. So, we're on a good way to get there!
As for art, it's probably going to be a bit lighter on that front, and here is what's planned for it.
-Julian v2: (70% finished)
-Maritime Menagerie character (Not started yet)
-Scene artwork (Not started yet)
-Another v2 character update (Not started yet)
Julian is the highest priority here, and also the one who is holding up the train... His rework is taking longer than expected, even with him being the one I expected to take the longest.
So yeah, as far as the art goes we might be looking a bit more unsteady. But the maritime menagerie character counts as a must-have, and they'll also take a bit of a role in one of the new scenes, rather than just backfill older scenes as has been the case so far (with the exception of the Julian interruption)
Then optionally we have some Scene Artwork and another character getting their v2 treatment.
Both of these would hopefully be smaller things, but we'll see, the scenes currently don't necessarily *need* some scene artwork to go along with it, but it would be nice to have at least a simpler one for one of them.
The nice-to-haves:
-Rewrite of day 1 Sam-Julian Dinner scene (Currently in the works)
-More implementations for the new camera reworks to get them on par with the beginning of day 1 (Not started yet)
-Typos and fixes I've been made aware of (90% done)
And yeah, there you have it. That's the current state of things for the v10 update and it should give you a bit of a better idea of what to expect and what's being worked on. :)
I think so far we're sitting pretty well. Writing the scenes is always a pretty long process, so having both of the ones people wanted to see already mostly sorted out by the 20th of November is good.

Yep, just a random draw essentially. Their appearances are very minor after all, so unless they just completely don't fit it's not too much of an issue.

Are you just doing random choice for menagerie characters or are you thinking about particular characters for particular scenes?
