Status of 0.09 and details about the future of the project.
🕑 Added 2021-08-24 22:03:27 +0000 UTCHello Guys! How are you?
The purpose of this message is to let you know the status of the most recent update, as well as tell you the plans for the future.
So far the writing and the new events have had a good development. I have already finished creating the new maps and everything is progressing well. I would say that in terms of writing and events the update will be ready by the end of this week.
Now the art, the artist finished his previous work for someone else during the past week, so the sketches should be ready in the next few days. As soon as I have them I will upload them as I do commonly. I can't exactly say when the art will be ready, but my estimate is that it will be ready during the first week of September.
It is also important to tell you that from now on I have decided to release 2 versions of the game. One in HD with the images adapted to this resolution and another with a lower resolution but respecting the art ratio. So everyone can use the version they like best.
Future plans for the art production:
With the current status of the project, I can afford an H Scene monthly, plus ONE of the Patreon rewards per month. The idea is that in September I will order the monthly scene and a Patreon character that will be very relevant to both the story and H (The idea is that she, Judith and Nora are the main female characters). For October it will be the monthly scene and a fantasy, just like for November.
The rest of the Patreon characters will be comission when the game is closer to their arcs / introductions. (The respective Patreons are aware of this).
The idea when reaching $ 500 would be to order 2 monthly scenes, 1 Patreon reward and one of the game's characters (Like Judith, Nils, etc). Once finished with the rewards of Patreon and the characters of the game (Including combat portraits) it would be to dedicate all the resources to monthly scenes. However some things may change according to what is needed for the game.
Aspects of art that must be taken into account:
-More facial expressions for Patreon characters. (For example Evelyn currently has 2).
-Outfits (It will be reflected especially in Nora, Judith and the new girl, but characters like Nils will have at least 2, with and without armor).
-The men Nora interacts with. (There are still several to appear).
- Combat portraits (honestly, not having them has made me not introduce the combat yet in the game).
-Portraits of the characters in general.
IMPORTANT:
It is important to remember that neither the artist nor I work full time on the game. So the plans are not set in stone.
It is also important to tell you that I have plans to create parodies of Persona 5, FE3H among others, as the project grows. These games won't be around for a long time. But unlike my first work (Way of Corruption) I want to prepare the art section as best as I can so that the first versions have a good amount of content (However, this is a future phase of the project).
