To my team!

This next post is for my team and mods

Rince- When I first met you I disliked you, you were short and always seemed upset which in turn upset me. It didn't take long though to learn that it was just the way you always were. Even though at first I was unsure you were a fit in the end you were the best choice I made with the other two scripters sadly falling off the wagon you stayed committed and constantly determined. It was incredible being able to work alongside someone who was as passionate as I was willing to give it all to make sure the game was as great as it could be. It was a real relief knowing I could throw a task at you and not even have to worry about it knowing it would be done without any issues. You were a great person to work with and bounce ideas off of and you were always there to help me stay on track and positive. You always went above and beyond for the game and were a great coder.

Rios- When we first met I was way outside my league still with barely any game to show off at that point and no art. You were an amazing artist and great animator that really helped the game shine more than I think any other animator ever could and I mean that. I spent day after day on twitter looking at and reaching out to dozens of different animators, but if I could do it again I'd pick you every time. Every time your work was posted we had entire surges in activity from how much love their was for your posts. You should proud of the work you did and still do you are one of the best I know and I'm grateful that you worked with me.

Mel- You were always a god send in my eyes you are one of the best and most hard working artists that I know second to none. The work you did for the game is insane and the speed at which you did so was even crazier. You put other games devs to shame and make them look lazy. You were exactly what the game needed, and there isn't a doubt in my mind had we not had you as our main artist then the game wouldn't have ever reached nearly what it did not even close. It was like our brains were linked somehow it was so great being able to just toss ideas off each other produce the art and almost never making a change. I think that just goes to show how incredible you are was to how little I had to cut or ask for fixes on anything you did. You alongside rios and rince were all amazing co-workers the best I could've asked for making SV I know you all will do an amazing job making project hadal.

Zerk- If it wasn't for you SV would have never even happened or started, when we talked I was all on my own with nobody else working on the game. I would've probably just given up had it not been for your help, you were one of my best friends I ever met and one of the funniest people I knew.

Biggie- You were at one point banned 3x, and I had trouble sleeping at night cause the amount of trolling you did. For some reason you grew on me like mold and became hard to keep out of our server. In the end you were the most mature man I ever met, and I trusted you more then I even trusted the devs. You were more of a advisor for SV than an actual mod, if it wasn't for you the game probably wouldn't have made it to release. I was always so stressed and constantly doubting myself, the game, and much more. Yet you were always there constantly to provide advice, encouragement, and keep me in the right mind space. You went from the worst person in the server to the person I trusted most, you are a bad acting softie. Also a 4chan chud.

Death- You gave a lot of your time for the server and testing the game you were a great person to discuss ideas and force me to relax when I needed it most. You were a great mod to have and a good friend too. Get a job.

Nightfire- You were a very great friend to me and someone I always enjoyed spending time with. Just like biggie you were always there for me to talk to when I needed that and kept me in the right head space when working on the game. You were great at encouraging me when I needed that most and like the rest of the mod team were always an amazing time to play games with as well.

Leia, Liq, Radio, Dandy, Atk, Sui- You were all such awesome friends having you guys on the server was great and you all really helped build the community to what it was. It was always fun being able to play games with you all and helped me get through the stress of game dev.

All the game testers- Thank you all for the time that you gave to make sure that SV was the best it could be for launch. It meant everything to me having an entire team of folks who loved the game and were willing to ruin it for themselves playing it for dozens of hours just to make it perfect for the players.

Moving On!

I think that is everything that was unused or unseen and would just be interesting to look over if you hadn't seen it, make sure to look at the lore bible it has a lot of cool things in there too. With that I'm going to be moving on from this patreon and won't be posting anything here anymore. So aside from seeing the wips and things please do make sure to unsub, I've posted 3x now about unsubbing, but a ton of folks still are subbed. Anyway I want to thank you all for loving my game and the world I made, it really means a lot that so many people enjoyed the game. I also want to thank rince, mel, and rios who were amazing friends and the best co-workers to have for something like this. I won't be making another game and won't be using this patreon anymore so again please do make sure to unsub, other than that again thank you all for everything! I hope that devs still keep making amazing games, and the bar for those games only gets higher I always tried my best to keep the player in my mind when making choices for my game, I prioritized the player above all else, and that is what I encourage all devs to do. I enjoyed the community and loved making such awesome friends and I don't regret this chapter in my life what so ever.

The Lore Bible!

This was everything to me, my lore bible it includes what all the planned monsters where, what they did etc. Planned characters and even locations, an entire timeline, writer rules, and so much. It's probably the most meaningful to me and if any of you out there loved the lore of Sunken Veil here is everything I had at the time and planned out enjoy.

Unused ass hugger animation!

This was an animation we had finished before the game was done, but I didn't have anytime to implement it into the game.

Unused monsters + Anna's alt look

At one point during dev I had made up the look for anna and tested out a diff color mix. I had played with the idea of making her a Latina instead of white, but ended up scraping the idea.

Outfits

W.I.P's

Hey everyone so for the supporters I'm gonna be posting a ton of wips, outfits, and unused monsters and other things. I'll try to fit everything I can, but it might end being parts since there is just so much.

Archive + Update

https://discord.gg/saysJakbWy

Hello everyone, so I know some people may have not archived the release so I'm just posting it here for those who didn't and just to have some place it'll always be. If you run into any bugs I can't help you, but the above discord is Project Hadal the continuation of SV by the other devs and they have bug reports and folks that can help you out with tech issues.

Another thing I wanted to touch on was once I finish schooling I may start development on a new project. It won't be in the SV universe, and I don't have any plan at the moment for what the game will be. Though if I do decide to make another project I'll announce so here.

August Dev Log 3.0

Intro

Hello guys! We've gotten a whole lot done this month and are nearing the initial release and our community has gotten a whole lot bigger since the last dev log almost 2k people bigger! So like last time I am using these dev logs to go over what was done this month in detail, what we plan to do this month, and overall the state of the game so far. For those who don't wanna read everything in detail *I will leave a Fun number list below summing up the work that has been done*. Thanks everyone who has been joining the community lately! I'm excited to get the game out to you guys later this month on the 26th, if you haven't already I'm doing another 90% off sale on the patreon so check that out.

Art

This month was a hectic one for art due to the switch in the middle of the month to our new CG artist Mel. Despite just getting here Mel still picked up the role and ran finishing 37 CG's this month already completing the original list we had set up. Now with extra time we are adding almost 15 new scenes to the game along with some variants to others. Bella the first shopkeeper in the game will also get a good chunk of scenes to start with now. Overall the art is done CG wise and Mel is now getting whatever else we can done. On my side I have finished rendering Marina in the main banner and will be done with it hopefully this week.

Audio

Overall the audio work was finished in July so this month was fairly light here aside from some volume pitch fixes and other minor additions or adjustments. [Check below for full stats]

Story

I was able to make a large jump in the story this month finishing 4 of the 6 dialogue categories only one smaller one and one longer script remain, which I hope to finish up this week. Once that's done we can start looking for typo's and checking what does and doesn't work in the dialogue. Then it'll be just placing in the art and animations and we should be good for the 26th. [Check below for full stats]

Coding

This month was a large focus on fixing the games current bugs and they were indeed fixed almost over 100 bugs and crashes were fixed this month. The testers were starting to struggle to find anything due to how stable the build was, but aside from that Rince was able to get the dialogue I have finished so far in the game so right now we are testing that to make sure everything runs smoothly as I finish more he can add it. There isn't much at all left to do coding wise aside bug fixing, and finishing the gallery. [Check below for full stats]

Marina holding her breath

Got the status box finished

There are a lot of variants to this, which change based on what marina goes through in game. [Ignore she has no face lol they are layers, so base has none.]
