Malevolent Planet 2D - Day3 Warmup Animation Planning Poll
Added 2023-04-04 07:18:54 +0000 UTCHey! As part of my plan to have one animation per week, I thought that we can have polls for the context/scene for each animation. However, considering that it's the first week, depending on whether it's doable within the allocated timeframe the animation might be in the best scenario 2-3 frames of a drawing or just a drawing, as in static, not animated.
If we consider that we are in Week 1 of this plan, here are my suggestions on what animations I can work on first.
The following scenes will take place in Day3, which is a day that involves G-force testing of the ISA recruits (including your character). There will be a warmup before the actual testing and during this warmup you can explore other groups of NPCs and based on your choices you may be able to see specific scenes.
I won't go too much into detail to not spoil anything, I'm just providing the foreplay/context and you can pick which one is the most interesting to be developed and added to the game first.
During the warmup:
1. Gloria and Ricardo. You can interact with them, but before you get the chance to talk to them you see them shushing to each other before sneaking into one of the private G-force simulator rooms. The animation for this scene would be seeing Gloria getting undressed, most likely 2 or 3 frames of drawings or just a good static drawing depending on the time/complexity.
2. Boris and Amani. You can interact with them, and considering that there's not much time left you and Amani decide to do the warmup together, while Boris uses the controls to provide "a good warmup" for the actual test. The animation for this scene would be a bit more complex and it involves either frames of you and/or Amani having to deal with an unexpected situation or static drawings.
3. Julia and Jay. Jay mentions that he noticed Julia (the NPC in Suspicious Grass) acting strange lately and this didn't seem to happen before the recruits were allowed into the ISA Garden. Julia is quite shocked by the idea that she might have been seen and she excuses herself to the bathroom. You can decide to follow her to see if she's alright, but you may discover that Julia had a little too much exposure to some nefarious elements in the Garden that left a hopefully temporary need to relieve herself often.
Essentially, they boil down to three choices:
1. Female Recruit Undressing Scene.
2. Accidental Gravitational Undressing (zipper gone wrong).
3. Female Recruit Self-Relief Session.
And as mentioned before, although I do plan to have an animation for each particular scene, sometimes a static drawing can be just as good at providing enough visual experience of what's going on considering that static drawings would take less than actual animations to develop and add into the game, making the beginning of the space exploration/planet crash plot come sooner.
Thank you for your time and have a great day!
