DEV Update Nov 20 - New Dynamic Duo
🕑 Added 2020-11-21 02:08:30 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Lots of stuff to talk about for this update and the upcoming release this month. I hit a couple of road blocks, but we’re all good now and the release will be out before the end of the month. Take a look below to see what i've been working on and some important info about the game.
Next Release
I’m not going to put a hard date on this just yet. I’m almost done, but there’s a lot of little things that have piled up, so I need to get through those. I’ve also added some more renders that I think y’all will like :D
New Characters: Jenny(left) and Jessie(right)
Jenny and Jessie, they’re here to arre….Help you ;)
Alright, so these two were technically not supposed to exist (sorta). I was initially going to have the side cop characters as kinda faceless silhouettes, but as I was developing the game and the further I got into it, the less I liked that idea. That being the case, Jenny and Jessie were conceptualized and I just finished modeling them this month. For all intents and purposes they are side characters, but you are going to see a lot of them.
Because I’m clearly incapable of not doing so, I’ve already created their backstories and whatnot, but we won’t delve into that, unless you all want that to happen. I leave the choice to you.
Overlay redo
You’re going to see slightly different Mandy overlays in this release. I had to redo all of Mandy’s overlays to match the other characters. A bit annoying, but I think we’re good now.
A few more Overlays for Selena, Mandy and 3 each for Jenny and Jessie were also created.
Major Choice
The Hero tier already knows about this, but in the next release you’ll be given a major choice. You can’t miss it as it looks different from any other choice you’ve made so far. This choice affects your ending, so choose wisely. It’s a 50-50 chance, and I believe in you ;)
The difference behind these “Major Choices” is that they’re more absolute. The other choices you make, you can come back from (for the most part), but for these, your decisions are final.
Interrogation and additional story content
I’ve mentioned this before, but this is the first time you can get a game over, but it comes with a little bad ending scene. I would recommend that if you want to learn a bit more of the Time For You story, make a save and then fail the interrogation. It’s not mandatory to the story, but just for those who want to learn all the secrets…
Computer Build
Exciting news here! I’ve gotten almost all the parts and have put the computer together. Using an older GPU, I tested it out and so far so good. As a bonus, I was able to somehow secure an order for the new RTX card and I should hopefully get that soon. My modeling software is now compatible with the card, so lots of good stuff to come.
Second Time Fragment Decision and chapter progress
As many of you know, I was going to have a general consensus poll on whether to have a second time fragment bonus scene for Chapter 02. I’ve decided not to do that because of the length of Chapter 02 so far. Chapter 02 has evolved, and I think it’s actually going to be longer than Chapter 01. I haven't timed it yet and the additional length isn't a bad thing at all, in fact I’m really happy with the way it’s going so far. There’s a lot of story to tell and I just think it’s better not to add additional time getting to Chapter 03. That being the case, there won’t be a second time fragment for Chapter 02, but I will be putting up a poll for Chapter 03. This way I can plan around it better.
Scene 10 Progress:
Rendering: 99%~
3D Modeling: 99%~
Post-work: 95%
Additional Game Assets: 80%
Writing: 70%
Editing 20%
Testing 20%
Programming 80%
Music: 100% (1 BGM for Interrogation)
Poll coming tomorrow as well as a WIP in 2 days.
I feel like I’m forgetting to mention something, but this has already become quite long.
More news soon!
Cheers,
ZeroHero
