SPACE UNIVERSITY Progress #1
🕑 Added 2021-09-09 01:24:29 +0000 UTCName is still a WIP! Maybe we'll keep it, hehe. :D
Character Designs
Please keep in mind that these designs are not set in stone!
Right now, the planned routes are for Rhea (Earth) and Krys (Saturn). I'll talk about this a bit more in the Plans section, but the 3rd route is kiiiinda undecided at the moment since I wanna leave it up to the writers. More routes MAY be added depending on if the Kickstarter campaign succeeds past the original goal and how well it does post-release.
Character Sprites
We only have Earth's right now (since I need to finalize the designs), but here's a preview of her sprite. :) They'll all have different outfits, but right now I'm undecided on if I want to Live2D all of the characters, since it'll be a lot more work with multiple outfits + poses, AND there are 7 of them.... but it might become a Kickstarter stretch goal or something I implement after release/during production.
The physics looks a little weird here since her movements are really rapid and random, so ignore that! It should be more subtle once there are actual animations done.
Development Schedule
These estimates are assuming everything goes according to plan, but we're already a bit behind (h... haha, mainly on my end).
Ideally the Kickstarter will be public in February, but of course, that depends on if everything for the demo will be completed. IF the Kickstarter campaign fails, I'll still be funding the rest of the VN, although progress might slow down a bit + the routes won't be as long as I'd like.
Past the campaign, I'm aiming for the VN to be released (with at least 3 completed routes) by the end of 2022.
Honestly, I'm being super ambitious here, but I probably won't fully realize it until like... halfway in...
Plans
SO! A lot of it will be based on the art-side since that's what I'm specializing in for this project, but here are some of the goals for this VN:
- Personalized soundtrack, artwork, GUI, backgrounds
- Live2D sprites (undecided if it'll be a base thing or a Kickstarter stretch goal)
- Live2D CGs
- 3 routes (+6 additional POSSIBLE routes depending on Kickstarter success)
- Side text conversations with the characters
- and... other stuff... when I find it
At one point, I'll start publicizing some of the updates, but most of them will be posted here first, along with finer details. :)
Next Update?
I should've done it for this update, but I kinda forgot and I wanted to post this ASAP, haha.
For the next update, I'll put in some info about the writers/writing and how it's coming along so far, along with more WIPs for the sprites! (And possibly BACKGROUNDS??)
