Development Update
We are on schedule on the planned updates to animations, art, dialog, translations, and choice system.
Details details.
Animations: All animation updates for Chapters 1-5 are complete, and new animations are being added where appropriate.
Art will be fixed when an error is discovered. New art is being added where required for the new framework and as any images that need fixing are discovered.
Dialog and translations are partially complete for Chapters 1-5. Fixing up grammar and tightening up dialog in an effort to be less wordy. Translations for Russian, Ukrainian, Korean, Turkish, Swedish, Danish, Polish and Portuguese will be done once the art and framework are in place.
The choice system is up and running and is in testing and integration right now. It will provides branching and choice in missions, encounters, LI's, harem build and corruption, encounter choices and the ability to avoid certain types of encounters with LI or LI's.
I've also started on putting together Chapter 6 which includes a couple of new characters and environments. Chapter 6 is low priority at the moment due to the changes happening with the rest of the system.
Saves of prior version of the game released to date will not work with the new framework.
Here are some WAGNER numbers for those interested.
Environment Design - 65%
Writing -55%
Rendering -75%
Animation - 90%
Code - 75%
If everything goes to plan, the intent is to have the full update in testers hands in ~2-3 weeks, and then out to all of you about a week after that.
That's all for now for this dev update! The plan is to do one a week going forward.
Apologies for not sending an update last week. We had a couple of near misses by Tornadoes. The storms knocked down a couple of large (100 ft/30 meter) trees that I am still cleaning up,
Feedback is always appreciated.
Keep plugged in.
