Pic 137: Test Shots for Chap 2
Added 2024-01-12 02:38:41 +0000 UTC
I'm mostly done with chapter 1, the introduction of the game. The second chapter focuses on the first date between the player and Relay. I haven't really started making it yet, just making test images, so I thought I'd share some.
What I wanted to experiment is Relay's "First Date" outfit. A key test is a dance animation I want to use, and these three outfits all passed with flying colors. Now I have to choose between "Formal", "Goth", and "Casual". Opinions?
The first part of the date is going to focus on mirroring the activities done on the first part of Date Ariane. That means talking, dancing, going to a park, going to the warehouse (a backyard/pool replacement), and figuring out what to eat.
Dancing will be either a "bop" or a "vibe", slang terms for fast or slow. Also got interesting alternatives for eating dinner, but I'm not able to talk about those yet.
Intro Stuff
One of the the things I've been working on is the player avatars. Both have black hair, blue eyes, and designed to look early 20's which is typical college age. Both of the original models for these characters looked like celebrities, I had to change into generic people.
That led to the creation of this test shot which won't be in the game, but I thought you all would like.
The updated alpha game will be released this weekend, assuming I don't find any more bugs.
Comments
I'm actually thinking casual too. Might change it a little, but I like how the color of the top matches the flash of color in her hair. It is also similar to what Ariane wore. I think the red dress will make an appearance in the first date as a "virtual outfit".
