Progress Sneak Peek - December 6
🕑 Added 2021-12-07 04:34:40 +0000 UTCHello everyone and welcome to a new sneak peek of Lucky Paradox
This week I've been focusing my efforts on shaping the new Christmas content coming to Lucky Paradox, and there's been a lot to do to achieve the results I'd like to achieve.
First, I must create variations for the background and generate some changes to the locations to make them consistent with the changing weather, in short, there is a lot of snow to add to each location. I also must consider characters like Celestine, whom we won't be able to find on the beach during the holidays.
The duration of the weather change is yet to be defined, as I will find the answer once I start with the testing and polishing phase of the update (I hope lol)
As you can imagine, it takes a lot of time to be able to create all these new backgrounds that will be added (This includes nighttime variations too), but it's still a feature that will look great in the game and I'm really looking forward to it.
As for the story, I'm also working on new content and it's already at a stage that I like. I want this additional content to not just be Christmas filler, but also show interesting interactions, give new layers to the characters and depth to the story surrounding Shogukuni and the Dragons. Maybe I'm being a bit ambitious here, but I'd rather try before doing something quick and without substance.
As always, I don't like to give too many details so as not to ruin the surprise hahaha
Through this route, we will be able to unlock two new costumes, one for each Dragon. The only requirement will be to gift the Christmas costume to Yui, and we will be able to continue with this chain of events.
As Yui already has a special Christmas costume, I decided to add one for Kaede and one for Shizuka, keeping some details in common between their costumes and at the same time, generating a difference in the design through small details and colors.
I decided to work first on the design of Shizuka's costume, since her main color is blue, it may be a little more complicated to convey that Christmas tone, that's why I decided to contrast the color of some details with red. I think Shizuka with her hair tied up looks very cute, what do you think?
As for Kaede, the costume is a traditional one and similar to the Blue dragon, combining her characteristic red colors and adding the details in green tones. We will also get to see Kaede for the first time with her hair down.
Talking to some friends in the community and listening to their opinions, I received good feedback. I even tried to make a contrast of blue and white for Shizuka and details with stars and lights for Kaede (like a Christmas tree), but I couldn't find a design that I liked.
Finally, I've been making some changes in Lucky Paradox in the Android version, removing, and replacing some code, creating a new one focused on the smartphone version and removing some technical features... I must admit that working in Android a game like LP can be a real headache, although I keep on working on it during my free time to make all the improvements within the shortest time possible, I just ask patients to those who have too many problems.
If all goes well, you will be able to enjoy the Christmas update very soon, and I'm giving my best to avoid delays as happened with Halloween,
And here ends this progress report for this time!
As always, I send you a hug from afar and wish you a beautiful week <3
See you soon with more news!

You're doing excellent work Stawer!

I love the Christmas outfits. But I think them not being used in scenes lessens their appeal vs the other costumes. Halloween outfits getting their own scenes or being able to be used in default scenes were definitely a step above Christmas outfits and Beach outfits. Hope to see that more.

Are all the outfits gonna make it into scene options? You have a lot of great outfits so I wasn't sure if it was gonna be for just some of them.
Wow the outfits look great
