Dev Update - June 15
🕑 Added 2021-06-16 03:22:40 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
This month is going by way too fast! There’s lots of juggling of work and a few hiccups (that are definitely my fault :0 ), but things are really starting to come together. That being said, I bit off more than I can chew this month in terms of what I wanted to get done. There were a few extra features that I wanted to add, and a couple of places that I wanted to release Chapter 02, but I think I’m gonna put a hold on that to focus on the release. In terms of the next release, I really want to have it come out this month, but it may be done a few days into July :/ Most of the big things are done, but the little things keep piling up which is making me doubt myself. I just wanted to keep you all updated on where things are at. I’ll have a better idea next week and will let you all know.
That being said, take a look below for some of the things in the works.
Polls
General consensus poll: Selena’s new outfit accessory - glasses?
This was probably the poll that had the most participation across the board for all of the tiers and all the locations I posted it. The choice Glasses - ON definitely won. This was a general consensus poll, and I wanted to see what you all thought, and to be honest, you all didn’t make it easier for me xD There were a lot of people who chose Glasses - OFF. That being the case, I’m going to do a mix of both Glasses - ON and OFF. The overlays for Selena wearing this outfit will have her wearing the glasses, but thanks to my coding effort 2 months ago, and the new way I put together the overlays, you will be able to input a code into the Temp Shop, which will remove Selena’s glasses. I’ll share the code when it’s ready.
Wallpaper Polls
Wallpaper polls are coming tomorrow!
Selena Wallpaper
A few months back, an image was shared on the Zero2HeroGames Discord NSFW channel, and I said I would recreate that outfit for Selena. I regret that decision xD I modeled and rendered it a while back, but man, it took a long time to create. While things were rendering for scene 15, I finally did the post-work, and here we are. I’ll share higher resolutions of this Wallpaper for the higher tiers and a “free-the-nipple” edition for the Heroes. We’ll see how things go, but this might be a phone wallpaper you can find in the game later.
Mandy’s hair hiccup
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure how I screwed this up, but I somehow modeled Mandy’s hair so one side sort of overlapped into itself. It wouldn’t have been the most significant issue, but I also made an animation with her hair like that. I was clearly focused on her expression and what she was doing rather than her hair, but still a weird oversight by me. I would share how it looks, but I’d prefer to keep my shame to myself lol. It’s all fixed now, and I re-rendered everything. The animation turned out pretty nice :p
Editing buttholes
There’s not really much to say here. I just wanted to share that I spent a big portion of Monday editing buttholes. It’s not something I ever thought I would say in my lifetime, so I thought I’d bring it up xD
Messages upsurge
I kind of expected to be getting more messages since releasing Chapter 02 on Steam, but it’s actually been a lot more than I thought it would be. Apologies if it’s taking me a bit longer to respond to any messages. I’m sure it will slow down and get back to normal soon. But if you have any questions feel free to send me a message and I’ll reply as soon as I can :)
BGM
I’ve been listening to a lofi hip-hop radio on Youtube for the past few weeks while I work, and it kinda inspired me to put together a little tune. In an effort to add more music to the game, I’ve been either starting the day working on music or writing. And even though I tend to lean more towards writing, I’ve been able to put together 2 new BGMs so far. 1 lofi hip-hop inspired and one more uppity. You’ll hear both in the next release :)
Scene 15 is a little different as we get to take “control” of Ellie for a little bit. There’s a bit of flip-flop between her and the MC, and I mainly did it that way so that you could see how the story progresses both at the house and the police station before everyone meets. We’ll get to learn more about Ellie, and fans of Mandy, Vanessa, as well as Jessie and Jenny will get some nice content. I wasn’t kidding when I said the lewd content goes up a notch starting in Chapter 03. You’ll see ;)
Scene 15 Progress:
Rendering: 92%~
3D Modeling: 94%~
Post-work: 80%~
Additional Game Assets: 25%
Writing: 70%
Editing 5%
Testing 15%
Programming 75%
Music: 66% (3 BGM if there’s time) 2 new songs so far woohoo!
More news soon, and thanks for your support!
Cheers,
ZeroHero
