End of March - Dev-Diary
🕑 Added 2024-03-31 02:13:25 +0000 UTCGreetings ladies and gentlemen,
with the public release happening today, I thought I'd give you all a little heads up on how the development is progressing.
First important thing: The public release will differ from the Patreon-Release in one aspect, as it has Akabane's otherworldly dream in it (+a few bug-fixes). And since we have four player-written dreams by now, I added a button on the main menu to reach those directly without having to go to Esmeralda via 10 menus and 5 scenes at least. I enjoyed the 2 new dreams by Apex and Akabane greatly and I hope we can get more of those in the future.
As always: "after the update is before the update", so development has never stopped and a few things were written for Gina's arc previously. Still a huge amount of work in front of us though:
Writing: Currently we are about 1.5k lines of text into the new story-arc and this is only a fraction of it. 😁I'm having a blast writing Gina again, so this is progressing well. Also Morlas did a whole bunch of scenes too, so expect some cute Aline and Rose content as well.
Art: Got offered a little bit of extra help again by the lovely NekoChan, who reworks some of the old arm-wrestling pics. Art has to play a bit of catch up, since I also planned to finish the rework of the last old pics by this update. But as always the art gets postponed a bit until we really know what's needed for the scenes.
Coding: Lots of work here, as we need to add the third character to the combat-script and design a new move-set for her. Also the base for the endless-mode is done, so players can see how far the can get against randomized waves in the future. In the meanwhile Toxic wrote a script for unit conversions, so both imperial and metric can be chosen from the options then.
Music: I have heard the wishes of the masses and I plan to deliver. Not sure if this will make it into update 4, as we are only just now checking our options. AI generated music or license free music are options, but "real" music would of course be incredible to have.
So, all in all we have a good work-flow going, but next release is still a bit off.
I'll keep you all updated on the progress in 2 weeks again.
Have a lovely week and I'll stay in touch.
