Chapter 4 Final - Bibi Log 1/1
🕑 Added 2022-06-07 11:01:13 +0000 UTCHello,
So... It's been a week since the release of the BETA, and I am around 200/600 renders into the last segment of the Chapter 1 overhaul.
For those that don't know, it's planned to put Summer's Gone on Steam with Chapter 5.
And for this, I'm polishing/reworking the first Chapter, and parts of Chapter 2. (College.)
When Chapter 1 was developed, Regium and I did split the load with around 60/40. Some of the old renders were made by me and the earlier part of the hospital by him.
As my experience grew and my developer mind expanded.
New attributes like immersion became very important to me, I knew things had to change.
Originally, I wanted to do this after Season 1 had been finished. But the game needs to be in good shape for the Steam release.
The first impression is important.
I prepared a few comparisons. (All renders are attached in High Res down below.)

This was when they prepared to head to the hospital.
The dialogue has also been adjusted.
In the old Chapter 1, the scene immediately switches to the hospital.
The new one offers more interaction with their environment and includes the drive to the hospital.
The hospital itself also offers new interactions to increase immersion, etc.

Now we get to the biggest issue.
I started to absolutely hate the first interaction with Maja and Victoria. Besides the fact that Maja's Ch1 model is atrocious... No emotions whatsoever were portrayed during this scene.

This scene has a completely different atmosphere now.

I also added something new to this scene. It's MC-related and brings some more attention to something Nami mentions earlier... "You were here before..."
The hospital scenes are mostly the same. Some adjustments have been made. A few new scenes were added.
The biggest change to Chapter 1 comes now.
The college part has been entirely rewritten. The first meeting with Jeff, Mila, etc. is completely different.
I won't be making another Bibi Log, I am just here to tell you guys that the final will be released in around 2-3 weeks.
And then we'll get to Chapter 4.5. (The newly made Chapter 1 will then fit in nicely with Chapter 4.5. (Due to Vic and Maja)).
And a big thanks to all the new Patreons!
And an even bigger thanks to those who have been with me through thick and thin. (Mostly thick, if we consider the bootys in SG.)
All these improvements and the much more effective work system wouldn't have been possible without you guys!
You're a very important part of this game and I am glad you guys/girls are with me on this journey.
