DEV NOTES 2

The project is going strong as always so let's talk about it 

I been focusing on only doing sketches for the CGi and animating only the outlines in the case of the sprites, in time I'll select the one that look good or fit the script more and continue with them. The live2d models took me one month, that was march. This month was sketches, sprites and some days working on the script. 

Lets see the sprites and the conceptual art for them 

Bad designs were covered for your eye safety

So been thinking on doing like a progression of an full creature for the shitter enemies and scale the "progression" towards a fully grown gal that should be treated like a mini-boss or boss itself.

Keep in mind the hardest and slowest part of animating are the outlines, I think (?)

 

These ones took me like a week but mostly work during calls so I was kinda distracted lol

The minigame is what most needs attention from me currently. Aside from the script itself, sprites should delay me the most so I'm cutting corners with them for the foreseeable future. About 15 to 18 enemies should be a decent amount to have for a first chapter, so expect some or most of them to not have colors at the first release 

And here we have the reveal of the new characters with their simple live2d animation

Their personalities should remain secret until chapter one is released. These characters are support of the main cast. These models are "softly" animated. So the pose will remain the same or something similar. These character will also get more outfits as time passes but they will not get their individual routes as the main cast

So what about next month?

Next month I'll continue to work some more on the script then I should shift my attention to the programming side and publish some beta builds for everyone here showcasing some more features like status ailments, more enemies and a

bilities you saw here. Also a little improvement on how the game displays the animations and moves them.

So expect some more builds for the beta, for all branches. 

We also get linux branch too! Woooo!

So tell me in the comments which character you like the most? How is the progress going overall? Do you like the big sketch with all characters? that one should be for advertisement purposes, like a banner.

Alright. Next month I should, for all reasons, make more noise than this one. My growth in following was actually negative in April. 

Thanks for supporting me and see you all next time!
