Resnick (transformed) character expression sheet + Update 4 devlog!
🕑 Added 2023-03-31 17:10:35 +0000 UTCHey hey!
Today we have something a little special!
I've kept this one on the down low for a while because, before Update 2, I didn't want to spoil the major things that would happen in it. Now that we're well into Update 3 and near Update 4, I think it's safe!
You've all seen... Lust transformed Resnick! Well, here's the expression sheet with all of his expressions so far. I'll make some Discord emotes out of them later as well... ;)
Now for the second part of this post: the devlog of Update 4's progress!
It's been a wild ride. I'm noticing a pattern here. I had some mild plans of making this update a bit shorter because I have some interface improvements I want to add as well but in the end... I don't think it'll be shorter at all! The writing is almost done and I think it'll turn out interesting. Ludwig's day as a whole has a lot going on!
Because of how the Essence Wheel works in terms of choices, I find myself having to deal with a lot of branches when it comes to writing. Rest assured that, gameplay-wise, the aim of it is to be as smooth as possible. That means that, when the Essence Wheel appears in this Update, just like in any other one, you'll have time to consider if you want to interfere or not, and the story will just move on smoothly according to your decisions. That's the experience I want to provide!
To reach that point, though... I've gotten to a point where I need to sketch out how the branches connect depending on when people choose what! Here's a little blurred-out, no-spoilers preview of the sketch, for example:
As you can see, in this case, you'll get through your day with Ludwig regardless, but... what will happen during it? What kind of things will you see and talk about? How will Ludwig or Resnick feel afterward? Those are some of the things that can change throughout the day!
There's a lot to consider! But we'll get there and, hopefully, this build will turn out amazing!
I think I'm a little late when it comes to development since in the end, as I said, there's just so much in this build. I don't want to cut anything out, so... we'll see! Regardless, we're reaching the coding part soon, which is the final stage, and while that also takes a while, I'll keep you all updated! Soon we'll be talking about Update 4 beta release dates already, with the Patreon release coming soon after it. ;)
Aaaand as always, none of this would be possible without all of you amazing people's support, so huge thanks for that as well! \o/
