Malevolent Planet 2D - Change of Plans On Updates

Added 2023-07-07 06:47:33 +0000 UTC

Hey! This is just a quick status update on what I've been doing this week. So, during the first two-three days of the week, some neighborhood noises kept me up at night and I couldn't work very well under the circumstances of bad sleep... Regardless of that, here's what I've done:

Wrote the bad ending. Decided not to have a bad ending special screen yet, because I can't decide on a design right now. I wanted something like the below image, but sci-fi style. We'll see.

Designed the pre-boarding room and the boarding room.
Wrote farewell group dialogues in the pre-boarding room.
Designed a news/paparazzi reporter event in the pre-boarding room.
Prepared 4 Scenes for rendering for the news/papparazzi reporter event.
Designed new character sprites, for the ISA guards and the reporter.
Drew three scenes in space and semi-animated them, with the ship leaving Earth, the event in space, and the planet crash.

So, things are moving along. However, I don't think it's worth releasing an update for the Blackmail Letter update that was released on June 29th because all there is that is relevant for the update is a few dialogue lines for the bad ending update. I haven't received complaints about scenes not playing or something like that and the auto save/auto load if you take the wrong decision was already implemented at the time.

To keep things separate, this month's build will include these last dialogue lines as well, in addition to the ending sequence to the ISA and the 4 new scenes with the reporter. (they'll be static by the way)

Thank you for your time! Have a great weekend!
