2024-03-25 17:56:22 +0000 UTCIf you think so, obviously you don't have enough knowledge how gamedev works. From a code side the only thing I use is the same dialog system (and even that is modified), every single scene needs to be set up from the ground, dialogs, routes and cameras and so on. About the artwork, animation, lightning, etc I explained already which is usually takes ~60-70% of time. I'm sorry but I don't believe you a have slight clue about how the games are made, otherwise you would have an idea how much time everything takes and wouldn't write such nonsense like compiling TheTwist code and editing after or whatever it suppose to mean.

2024-03-24 19:57:01 +0000 UTCThere are a lot of similarities between The Twist and Seaside - I was involved in programming and writing programs, so I know what it looks like from the technical side - if you have the source code of The Twist, there is already an edit in Seaside - after compilation, you know what errors you have and then you need to test the changes . What you wrote may reach people who have no idea about programming

2024-03-23 04:53:20 +0000 UTCStill can't get into the beach. Game crashes everytime I try to go there, anytime of the day. Tried reducing graphics too but I doubt that's the problem since I was able to get there before

2024-03-22 20:28:43 +0000 UTCNo, Seaside Mystery is not a continuation of The Twist, it just have several characters from there, but the story is completely different

2024-03-20 16:15:14 +0000 UTCLet's clarify some things and get into details. Very little stuff is used and can be used from TheTwist and what is used needs a lot of rework. Basically in Seaside Mystery there are only couple prop models and 3 character BASE models from TheTwist. Two months is only ~60 days. I usually take 3-4 days of rest after each update, ~10 days of testing + bugfixing. So it's like ~45-47 days for actual work on update (if working 7days a week which I usually do). Now let's get into details. Characters. Models from TheTwist for example Janice, Rachel, Michelle. The only thing I don't need to build completely from the ground is base mesh model. UV had to be updated/fixed to fit the game, that means all blendshapes had to be remade, the whole rig had to be remade, clothing meshes had to be remade. Setting up scripts for new customization system, hair/cloth simulation. Overall using character from TheTwist saves me like ~2 days of work instead of making a completely new character which takes ~10 days only for making character to be ready to use in the game. Environment. It depends of type of the location. Locations like Park / Beach / Pool probably took like 3-4 weeks each. Locations like Lingerie store or class room takes less, but still its around 1 week of work just on the location. Why it takes so long? Because you need ton of additional small assets, like chairs, rocks, plants and so on, not to mention stuff like camera collider setup, navigation setup, ground tagging so footsteps makes correct sound. To save time I try to buy prop assets as much as I can from various asset stores, but even then in 90% of cases you have to do some additional work on them too, like converting textures, adjust scaling, converting file format and so on. Also huge role in environment plays experimenting with lightning, fog, colors, etc. You pretty much never get a result you want just by dropping in all the models and ticking all the boxes. Poses/Animations. Poses usually takes 10-30minutes per pose depending on the how many characters involved, how much each pose differs from another. Animations usually takes 20-60min also depending on animation complexity. And you have to keep in mind that every scene you see, even scenes there MC just meets another character says couple of words and goes away needs poses and scripting which is also takes time. Scripting/Scene setup. It also very depends on the scene complexity and how much polishing needs after, but usually small scenes like there MC go the beach and brings back the glasses to Emily takes 1 day. Bigger scenes with more options, like Janice final scene in previous update takes ~4 days which includes all the scripting, dialogs adjusting character's lightning, sound triggers and so on. Also you during the development, you always bump into situations then you need to update/rewrite previous code. For example I am currently updating how earrings/piercing models are spawned in the game, working on the localization system which requires to change all the dialog lines changed to the tags that will lead to the chosen language version from json file, thats the things that people wont notice by playing the game, but guess what all of it also takes time. So then count how much time all of that stuff takes. For the amount of work you need to do, 2 months becomes very short time. Back to the original comment. If my goal was to make as much as possible money, I'd make 2d game with rendered images for mobile/mac/pc/linux and so on. If you are looking from hours of gameplay per $ perspective. You are right, just go to the Steam and buy some $60-$70 game from the AAA studio and you will definitely get more gameplay time for the money. I am not a AAA studio and I don't have such goal to build one. I am just doing what I enjoy doing and building a game that would be fun to play from the start to the end regardless how long it will take and not chasing the paycheck by making artificially long unpolished content. P.S. That's probably my longest textwall I ever written in comments

2024-03-20 12:06:45 +0000 UTCKsT has a ready-made environment with The Twist and yet Seaside Mystery updates are laughably poor. It is based on a proven patent and slowly doses content to earn more. I think it's a bad way for $5 a month, people expect something more, not 10 minutes of gameplay - it's $60 a year, for which I can buy a much more complex game that will give me gameplay for many days.I give up being your patron

2024-03-20 05:07:00 +0000 UTCProbably this week, now I try to post it when I'm close to middle of the update development so I can see more precisely what's going to be in there

2024-03-19 19:53:40 +0000 UTCThank you! And one more thing, there's a grammatical error in the text after he first spies Michelle through that hole on the beach.

2024-03-18 15:40:33 +0000 UTCThe end of update is when you come to the barred passage and mc says something like "the passage is blocked I need to find another way". After that there shouldn't be any more tasks.
