It's the "It's all coming together" update...
Added 2021-12-05 20:02:43 +0000 UTCHi all,
Just a quick note to let you know how things are going.
Almost all the back log of messages are cleared (almost, still a dozen left but a damn sight better than it was. Note to self, to not wander off in my own little world again!)
On other progress, I've the compressed version out for image quality testing at last. For any of you who are thinking about becoming a dev I strongly, strongly suggest you grapple with the image/file size from the start. Trying to do it some way down the line is a bigger nightmare than you can imagine.
In other news, the opening cinematic got made this weekend and is the can. It's shockingly effective at what I wanted it to do and is probably the best one yet especially in regards to foreshadowing.
In addition to that, there's been some more light testing and costume setting going on and the tactical combat system (yep, we have something else coming your way for those who want their MC's to be more heroic/military is currently under discussion on both discord and the forum. It's at a rough stage at the moment so I'm not willing/ready to make a public post on it but so far the concept for it seems well received.
So, testing pending, I'll be updating the links with the final build in the next day or so and I'm almost on top of everything again. Almost :)
But the key question is no doubt when is Five due out? Despite the rather bumpy few months of late, the progress made on Five is pretty good and 3090 willing, I think it will be a March release.
A few sneak peeks behind the paywall.
Stay lucky,
Notty
