General Progress Update
🕑 Added 2023-07-27 19:35:31 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
We're finally done with Realm 2, and that was quite a ride!
The support we have received after this final update has been amazing, and we want to thank everyone for it! We have been working hard on Realm 2, and we're glad that the final update was a success.
It has taken a lot of work from the whole team to reach the quality we're at, but we don't plan to stop here!
Realm 3
So those of you who have played the final Realm 2 release will have seen the Realm 3: High Lathión teaser trailer. What the hell is going on there, right?
High Lathión is the Realm of the Elves, and we're excited to bring this Realm to life and for you to meet the new characters there. Unlike in Realm 2, where most of the scenes still take place on Terran, in the main story of Realm 3, we spend a lot of time in High Lathión. We will gradually introduce some of the characters to you all as the launch approaches.
UI & Glossary
For Realm 3, we plan to overhaul the user interface for the game, as we feel we can step up from our current one. We plan to add a more detailed glossary with details about each species and Realm. We will also add evolving character bios that will help you remember each character's story and your choices.
There will also be an evolving story recap to help you all follow it. The Seven Realms has a complex story, and people can easily get lost if there are no reminders from time to time.
In future posts for Patreon Supporters, we will show you some of the elements once they are ready.
Environments
We have also started creating some of the environments. The easiest ones will be completed by Tae using a "kit-bashing" technique. Kit-bashing means she'll use existing assets, assemble them, and sometimes change their textures to create something new and unique.
For more complicated environments needing Blender or other software, we will commission them as Tae still needs to improve in Blender.
Tae plans to record and upload the process on our YouTube channel for those interested. We will also make a post to show the result.
Animations
Our animator (Autmn3) will start working on the animations as soon as any of the environments are ready. Our goal is to improve our animations even further in Realm 3. Autmn3 is currently preparing the characters to improve their quality. He is also trying to learn new techniques to have better simulations.
We will also have more safe-for-work animations, so he needs to rig other characters for that who didn't need rigging previously, such as Lucius or Zyair didn't need any rigging before.
Character Side Paths
Realm 3 will be massive as it is when the Side Paths will finally be introduced. We will post later to explain in more detail what the Side Paths are.
Currently, the script for the main story of Realm 03 is done. And just a few parts of some of the side paths need to be written.
The scope of Realm 3 will be massive, so we're doing our best to prepare as much as possible to keep regular updates once R3 is out.
Realm 2
While all those things are in the works, Shoe_Lac3 is reworking the earlier images and animations of Realm 2 to prepare for the Steam launch. I've included some examples of the image upgrades below.
We have a lot on our plate, but things are moving smoothly. As there will be no new game updates for a little, while we prepare everything for Realm 3, we will be sure to share numerous development reports here to keep you updated with our progress.
Thanks for reading. Have a great day, and let us know if you have any questions!
Jay & Tae
