Weekend Report: "If you can't beat 'em, copy 'em"
🕑 Added 2020-03-21 14:57:40 +0000 UTCHey laddies and (doubtedly) lasses!
So, here I am trying something new (new for me, not for the rest of the other, most respected, devs): Weekly progress reports!, (yeah, it took me a couple years, but here we are).
This will be an "effort" to be a little more transparent and active in this platform, because I know I've been lacking in that regard. Also, given I've been working on two projects at the same time, sometimes it may feel like one or the other gets "stuck" or forgotten, which is NOT the case. So, I'll try to force myself to write these reports every weekend from now on, mostly on Saturdays (Sometimes on Sundays). And I will try to keep 'em short and sweet, for yours and my sake.
But well, here's the report in question: So, What have been doing for BT: Survivor Guilt lately?... I've been fixing some really minor "under the hood" bugs and optimizing the code for better performance and trying to keep a clean and an "easy to use" method for future scenes implementation. With this I'm trying to learn from old mistakes from the... other game, and avoid having to re-do code and events in the future builds. Thankfully, working on two game has proven to be useful in that regard, given I've learn a few tricks working in one project that can be translated to the another. And, right now, I can say the only "negative" thing of working on parallel is the time frame, but nothing else. It even helps me to not get bored, overwhelm nor burned-out... in short, it keeps shit fresh and new everyday.
Well, enough of generalizations. I attached a couple pictures showing a few tweaks made to Nadya's bust graphics. It may not "feel" like much at first, but for the inquisitive eye, you will notice that her proportions are way nicer and her overall "figure" feels less awkward. I also rearranged the current outfits to fit the already mentioned tweaks. I'm also working on new poses that will be used in the next build, and others that will make dialogues more expressive and natural.
Once I finish with the bust, I will start working on the new scenes and event. If you want to know what those scenes will be, I recommend you check the Trello, but if you don't want to be spoiled... then... don't.
About the previous scene poll. As you may notice, the undisputed winner was "Oogly Shenanigans at night", So, that one will be added to the update. Thanks for everyone who voted.
Now, I know MOST of you have only one question in mind, and that is "uPdatE whEn?!¿!"
Well, I'm not doing that anymore... I mean, I'm not given actual definitive dates any longer. You all now I'm bad at dates. What I can say is this: I will aim for 1 update each month and a half from now on (could be more... could be less) and regard the next update (0.02) it should drop on April... at some point... maybe.
Now, the second question you may also have in mind is "What about BT: The Manor?!!!... You bastard!!!" That game is alive and well... but it is no longer on Patreon given it brakes their TOS. So, it is "elsewhere" So if you want to know about it, then go to that "elsewhere" and stop asking here... I don't want Patreon Staff to keep bullying me about it. But just in case, I will make this clear again:
PATREON NO LONGER SUPPORTS BT: THE MANOR, AND WILL NEVER AGAIN.
(But SusbcribeStar does... go there)
That's it for today, sorry for the long rambling, future reports will be shorter and to the point.
See ya then!
