1.11 Week 3: Good news/bad news
Added 2021-01-24 17:12:28 +0000 UTCI have good and bad news this week. Which do you want first?
The Good News
- WRITING. I wanted to finish the storyboards for the university section this week, and this was achieved on Wednesday. We’ve now started coding these scenes into the game, and I’m really excited about some cool changes we’re making to this section based on player feedback. More detail on this Soon™.
– ARTWORK. Victoria has finished designing how the new avatar emotions will look and work, and is now creating the artwork. They look greta, here’s a sneak peek:
The bad news
We’re running behind on the avatar expressions: they’re not all drawn yet, and we still need to process them into the game, then code them into the relevant scenes.
We're unlikely to get all this done by next Sunday – I think the 1.11 release (with the new expressions) is likely to happen some time in February.
I'm sorry to announce a delay: this task is just taking longer than we thought it would. We’ll work hard, and I’ll give you an update on exactly where we’re at next week.
Comments
Look Crush, I want to believe you that the lifepath is nearly done, but I’ve supported you for years now and I don’t think it is. You had a working prologue. It had a one page character creation and then launched you into operation lioness. It was a good hook, and a good game start. Yet, You ditched that for some reason. I get that some people might have wanted a little more on the front end, for the same reason that people wanted the hypno content to be optional but you’ve spent years now stuck on the lifepath and reworks. It’s time to let it rest. And move on. It’s time to plot out Lioness or start writing Bangkok scenes. There will be plenty of time to put some polish on the lifepath later.
