Update 7's first devlog: Story stuff + Resnick expression sheet
🕑 Added 2023-12-14 15:42:13 +0000 UTCHey heeey!
Alright, I realized that I hadn't posted an updated expression sheet for Resnick for quite a while so I decided to include it in this devlog. At least I think I hadn't? As you can see, this boy has a lot of them! And he's about to get one or two more in this update as well. Crazy! What other expressions could he possibly need? ;)
As most of you have seen, Update 7 will feature heavy and important story stuff regarding what's happening around poor little Resnick. I already said this in the previews tier but this is one of those updates that the previews of stuff will be somewhat limited because pretty much all of it is heavy spoilers to what's happening and what's gonna happen. I really hope that people will like what they see, though! This stuff has been planned for a long time and I feel like, just like some of the previous more story-heavy updates, it moves the story forward quite a bit and I'm glad to be able to do that after some good ol' downtime. :)
I'm happy to report that the update is going smoothly, though. After the launch of Update 6 two weeks ago, I took a little time to catch up on some other stuff that I have ongoing and now, with some of that done, I'm already back to working on Update 7! The writing is already ongoing and, just like 6, I think it might not be the longest wordwise, but oh boy, is there a lot that goes into it...
Not only in writing but also in visuals. This might be one of the heaviest visual updates we've had so far and both I and Blain are working extra hecking hard to make everything as amazing as possible. A bunch of the most important visuals for it are already done and were done for a while. Some of them I can't, unfortunately, show even to the preview tier as they are HEAVY spoilers! That being said, I'll think about what I'll share. Maybe I'll do some of them with a heavy spoilers tag and whoever wants to see it early, can, but it'd lose the effect of seeing it in-game, so I dunno... We'll see! I hope the wait will be worth it, though!
When it comes to visuals, I can at least say that we'll have a brand new sprite with motion and expressions and everything, a hefty CG, and possibly even a second smaller CG! Along with that, we're also having a rework of an older sprite (that one is already being previewed!) to add some improvements that we're working on and a whole bunch of visual effects that I'm working hard to make work! Whew! It'll be a bunch, but it'll be worth it!
All of this is the loose plan for what you can expect in Update 7. I know I haven't talked much about story, but I just can't. I mean, you saw the ending of Update 6, right? I had fun watching people speculate what it could be about in the Discord channels after playing! That kind of stuff even gives me ideas sometimes. x) It'll be great!
I'll cut this here for now. I'll keep you all as updated as possible, as usual, and onwards we go!
Cheers!

I'm very excited for the next update! As I said in the devlog, I promise I'll share as much as I can and get it done as soon as possible! :D

Love these expressions so much! I would say the spoiler apprehension is understandable for us to experience the story naturally. Thank you for the hefty devlog and your and Blain's hardwork. :)
