Level dialogue, and Nova conversation art.

Heyo everyone! Little bit of a late update here, but this week was centred around dialogue. Because this is the first build with Nova's conversation portrait, I had to commit a decent amount of time towards breaking up, meshing and rigging her art.

I added a dialogue sequence with Nova. This will play after her intro Hscene (After beating Catiya1 for the first time.) This short sequence should give a little bit more context on the start of your journey.

The short of it is Nova implies she needs Catiyans so she can breed. She chooses to take royalty as a priority. After her encounter with you, Nova has already chosen her prime picks, and is at max capacity on her ship. Aether commits to going after her to free his people.

The dialogue exchange is relatively short, but has some fun animation.

Some of Nova's animation involves going from front to back, and vice versa.

Nova's conversation art will likely appear again in the future as well.

On top of this, I have added the transmission dialogue involved in Catiya2. This means Nova's Transmission art will be making an appearance. Overall there actually isn't too much native dialogue in this level, but allies often have a little more interaction this time around.

As for nova's portrait, I may do some resizing, as compared to the others, her size is quite small.

Something else I needed to go back to was actually Pearlus2. I realized I had no character specific dialogue in there, so I went back and added some.

Finally another small thing I did up was adding proper looping to the Nova Boss fight.

The buildings should loop for as long as the boss fight exists.

That should pretty much sum up the week! Thanks again everyone! Next week is going to be focused on "New Features". This will likely include mechanics involving the brothel scenes. I may add a few other QoL changes as well. There is a small list I may go down of things I would like to get to, but I won't really know how much I can knock off. I'll be sure to report it all in the next report!

Catch you all next week everyone!
