Progress update Shadow Island R11
🕑 Added 2024-04-25 19:08:22 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
We are getting closer to the release now, it is set to launch in May as soon as it's done, and it's no secret but this has been a difficult period of development with numerous unexpected delays and issues.
As you may be aware already, R11 in terms of new content will be short, mainly because we are still going through the process of updating the previous art, a good chunk of it was done in R10.3 but not everything.
Beyond that, R11 also ended up challenging to make, we had this idea of having an action sequence and it ended up pretty complicated to do, it took a significant amount of revisions to be judged satisfactory, I don't think there will another one quite like it but hopefully should be interesting to see it in action
One moment in R11 leading to the new Lily H-scene is also probably the sequence that has the most alternate dialogues in the game right now, it has variations for every possible route or combination of things you could be in the game. This was quite an unexpected piece to make.
On the other hand, we took the time to rethink entirely on how we want the story to end, what are gonna be the endings, how things will play out and ended up with something vastly better than we had some months ago. Before, we had an overall idea for the end, but it had glarant problems, we weren't quite sure how to solve certain plot issues or to make things end in a way that would feel natural. This was needed in preparation for R12 as we are approaching the last third of the game and need to start going in a definitive direction.
R12 will be the return of a normal update size where we can focus on creating content and I expect things to remain that way for the foreseeable future.
