Apocalust - Progress Update
🕑 Added 2021-07-27 05:26:21 +0000 UTCHello Patrons!
Just wanted to give another status update since I was planning on showing off some new features a few days after my last post and wound up axing a bunch of blender stuff that seems to just rip into dev time while stressing out about it and there's no way I can incorporate it all without every release taking 300 years so it was a mistake obsessing over getting jiggle and particle effects in every scene but it will have to wait for now.
(Though I am still learning/using blender for a good portion of animations now.)
These past two weeks did not go well at all honestly, I started off July intending to do nothing but blast out animations but kept getting side tracked with things I want to add to the game and getting events/house screen to work and yeah it’s painful because I thought I would have the main version out by now but it will take some time yet.
I find whenever I get stuck I really seem to make a lot of dumb mistakes/decisions, so for the rest of this week and heading into next month, I am going to be shifting gears a bit again.
(Still sticking to the content delivery idea I had in my post before last though.)
Originally, I had narrowed down the content that is new + is good enough from my old stuff and doesn’t give away too much of the characters (but still lewd) down to about 20 scenes but even focusing on all of this and trying to get the quality and length across per scene is going to need to be lower than that on the initial release because per scene (example: watching movies with Evelyn) I have them setup at different times and with different outfits.
IE, Evelyn Movies Part1/Outfit 1 and then a few story bubbles later, Evelyn Movies Part 2/Outfit 2. One scene but two parts with their own animations.
So yeah, not all bad news really but I needed to communicate what I am doing right now. I do tend to keep talking about downsizing/problems but really, I feel the game is in a much better spot than it was a while ago and focusing on my absolute best stuff and the things I like just seems to work out best every time.
I haven't fully decided what is/isn’t going to be in 0.1 in regards to features. Scene/content wise I have, but a lot of time has been eaten in this month and I know if I try to get the house/event stuff to work in the next month, it is simply going to take way too long.. or longer than I would like, and since I have the most fun working on the story/puzzles/flavor of the game, I am somewhat of the mind that I want to just get content out the door month after month as a way to destress/not worry and also keep the ball rolling, then let patrons critique it for things they like and then just simply keep adding features and episodes onto it.
So ya, let me know what you guys think, I will have a more clear answer of what/how content is going to come out in about a week or so.
Also, for the Ultra and Hyper Gamers, Naomi Pinups still coming this week, just after I deal with some game stuff first.
Thanks a million for the support and I will be back in about a week or so!
