Apocalust - Progress update and stuff coming up!
🕑 Added 2021-06-18 22:39:00 +0000 UTCHello Patrons!
This is just a quick progress update for the week as well as a heads up on a few things coming up and where I am at.
This past week went well, honestly most weeks since the demo release, one thing or another either went wrong or I got stuck trying to get something to work but I think now that I am focusing on my best stuff and on making each characters scenes/scenarios better and more interesting rather than spreading myself out over a bunch of environments, it really sped me up a lot.
Again, there is no release date, it could take 100 years(not literally) to finish as I have taken already but I’m gonna think out loud just to let you know what’s up with the game and what my goals for the coming months are.
My goal was to finish all of the main story content by the end of this month and then go back to coding stuff and problem solving once this is complete, I can tell you this month went well but not perfect, so it will for sure go a week into next month until I am complete the main story content. If it somehow goes beyond that, I will let you know what's going on, but this is where I am at now.
When I am on the cusp of finishing, most of the work is going to just be done in After Effects IE, chopping up animations, adding particle effects and things you saw similar to the demo, and some new stuff as well! Some of the scenes are only somewhere around 7-8 animations but once there are variations added with different sfx and particles etc it winds up being a lot higher than that, somewhat similar to how the demo was formatted but a bit different to save on production time. Anyhow, once I am done that, I’ll give a content count and move on to the rest of the stuff to finish before the main 0.1 is out.
I do have a tendency to talk about problems and things that I am struggling with but to be honest things are going amazingly right now and I am super excited to show you what I have come up with and some of the cool stuff I kept secret for a while!
Also, I think when I upload a preview, since most of the game is animated, I will show mainly frames from either different story animated idles or one of the tease animations. Because most of the shots are breathing/animated, whenever I do a still where the camera scrolls, I try to put extra effort into it so you get kind of an art piece out of those scenes so I don't want to spoil too many of them.
So if you see several 1080p previews during the week, these are mainly gonna be animation frames and not just static images in game.
Anyhow, just a quick update for now!
There is a new Ultra Gamer poll for Evelyn’s animation and pinup set here if you would like to vote on that.
Thanks a million for the support and I’ll be back in about a week or so with another progress update as well as the Ultra Gamer rewards.
Have a great weekend and I will talk to you again soon!
