Biweekly update #41
🕑 Added 2020-04-23 17:30:57 +0000 UTC
Game progress
- Coded in James' chapter 13
Script progress
- Finished writing James' chapter 17. James' route has officially hit over 100k words!
Art progress
- Finished James' 3rd CG
- Drew Angela's alternate outfit
- Slight tweak to James' close-up sprite
Now that I have help with some of the art (Rosariy did the latest oufit for Lana!), and Hiryu ends up coding the chapters, I get to focus a little more on the script myself. Which is great, considering James' route is simply very long. I'm halfway done with his route and it's over 100k words already, that's a lot!
I am also replacing Neil's old VA with a new VA that sounds very similar to him. Here's to hoping the new VA allows for a varied library of soundbites for Neil. He'll be returning in James' route.
-----
Now that the next update is coming along, chapter 12 has a unique choice during the festival. You get to give someone an ornament to 'someone you respect' and you're free to choose one out of 5 options.

This choice will be remembered, though you'll only get a few references here and there based on certain characters, nothing too important. Nornus is missing from the list since he's absent from the festival. Varitus is not an option because he would simply reject any gifts.
So to make things fun; who would you choose in chapter 12?

Eeyok will remain a fan favourite <3

I'm so late on this post, but of course, I gave it to Eeyok π Happy to see so many people loves him too lol
Celianna
You are certainly not! Due to Eeyok's early popularity, I changed around a lot of plot points, and Eeyok's entire arc changed as well. He was supposed to die in chapter 5, but because players liked him so much, I ended up making him a major character in the story! He is adorable <3

Omg I'm glad I'm not the only one who adores Eeyok! #Eeyokdeserveslove

Right?! everything Mordin says is like he's just explaining a textbook or something, but it somehow ends up funny. well, generally funny; especially the whole reach vs flexibility thing!
well he DOES tell you about the reach and flexibility fight between him and another turian lol. Also you get help from Mordin and EDI lmao I love how Mordin is so matter of fact about it.
Meagan
YUSH! very scary sister! and YUSH!! Garrus best Turian in all existence! awesome snipie dinobird buddy... also great in bed apparently... not surprising how much time he spends on doing calibrations *snicker snicker*
Meagan
I feel ya!! he's just too cute!!
For those who play Mass Effect (I play it so there's a possibility others on here do to) he's like the Garrus in this game. He's got your back all the time. So friendly and sweet! Don't get me wrong, I love James because he's caring underneath that harsh exterior... Kaleb and Billius have potential.... though I'm with Meagan, we don't know if her powers match those of her brothers... if it does then yeah you want to steer clear (though he seems to have an interest in your character).
Amely
i would give it to eeyok just bc hes so cute <3 I want to give the underdog some love and affection. I dont care what they think of him >:|
McKayla
let me date best boy Eeyok! he's a sweetie
Meagan
I don't think I want to make an enemy of James sister... which I kind of feel is a possibility if she thought I was interested in her Billius... Lana has great potential to be very scary! my pick is Eyok anyways, cause he's such a sweet little grunt!
lol love that Eeyok is clearly the fav here, gotta love him and his adorableness.
Kristin
Toss up between Billius and Eyok.
Celianna
It's very subtle! Smaller eyes, thicker neck, and redrew the ears.
Cassidy
I thought something had changed about his sprite when you posted it on Twitter; it looks nice! I like the change.
