One entire year to reveal the final characters of Stage 1 + Intro pff, let's say I got side tracked a lot when it came to assets and all of that good stuff. I'm sure you guys are familiar with the majority already, just to make sure, I shall introduce them all and describe who are they and which changes have been applied to their newer models!
Starting from:
Yomu: I mentioned her in the "Update on the current mess" post I made back in the day where I've also shown her early version, it was quite similar to the 3DCG version with just improved assets and well-.. lots of unoptimized clipping between the clothes and things as such-.. Horrendous! I decided instead to change her look and make her more vibrant with the clothes, the only reason why she had black and white clothes was because of the limitations of the old engine. Her identity and role shall still be a mystery but you might have already notcied that she's quite the kuudere type, getting unfazed by pretty much anything, I'm gonna have so much fun with her!
Teresa: She was revealed together with Yomu in the same post and I'd say she's the character that has changed the least, just some minor adjustments and solving of some minor bugs, the majority of the work I did on her was more or so add little notes to my brain to make her personality more interesting and less of a bitch from the get go pfft, you guys will see during the intro, I'm so proud of how she's going to open herself to Alex about her intentions! She kept her design from the original 3DCG engine just because I literally loved it so much as it already was!
Angel... Trio?: I lied! I said that it was gonna be a trio! But I just couldn't resist! I overdid it again! Pfff.. Who are they? What am I talking about? Let me explain from the start for those who missed a few updates-.. It's been one year, more than understandable. These thr-.. sorry four angels are the same angels that appear during the intro for Altara, yep, they got an update too and not just that! They now have a little story, personalities and even some more screentime planned for each one of them!.. Wanna know more about them? If you guys wait just a bit ;P I'm gonna make a very special trick! Two reveals in a row!!.. Never ever happened before!
Madreterna: The two feet tall mother of all angels and #1 fan of humanity as a whole, she's here with her new model! As soft and plump as ever! I love the way she turned out to be, 3DCG was such a huge limit for literally anything, this size of... Uhm... "Benevolence"-.. fits her motherly figure way better and with her being the one that has to keep Altara from falling apart, she's the only character in the game having an halo (and such a powerful looking one too).. Well for now at least! I did renounce on her veil being transparent for two reasons, the first one being that it's already short enough to be teasing and the second one is that there's multiple statues of her.. "somewhere" and the fade on a statue doesn't fit that well-..
Also.. Speaking of Altara... The ones who have been active in the Discord's Patreon chat may know about a few foreshadowings I teasingly left ;P Hehehe.
Now.. When it comes to characters, Stage 1 is complete! Well, little spoiler, The rest is also pretty much complete, it just needs to be announced to make sure you guys are up to date on everything we accomplished so far!
The Christmas bonus picture is also on its way to get completed as we speak, showcasing a little more of Alex's new house, the same one which appeared in Miscellaneous Showcase 2! Yes! We have finally decided and trust me, it's perfect! (Don't worry, the house is gonna be a public showcase anyways).
So, what do you guys think? I'd love to discuss in the comments with your different opinions and answer some questions too.
*The models showed may be subject to changes upon the next version releases, these designs are not final.
