[SEKSCAPE] July 4th Week Weekly Update

Hello, This is Warumiyo. ＼(´◓Д◔`)／

Here's this weeks weekly update!

#1. Completion of Elloman's Concept Design

Following on from last week, we have now completed the concept design for Elloman, too!

As you can see, we are creating two versions of the standing illustration for the heroines

1.a front-facing version and 

2. a half-profile version.

 The plan is to use the half-profile image in the heroines' status window, while the front-facing image will be used during dialogues and interactions with the heroines.

Given the setting of a man and woman locked alone in a room, we are contemplating introducing a system to the game that concretizes the heroine's mood.

 As gameplay progresses, the heroine's mood will change, which we plan to reflect in the expressions and postures displayed in her status window, and we've already finished drawing these features in this week!

#2. Creation of Sylliman Illustrations (animated with Spine!)

Here are some example images of Sylliman's expressions and postures we've worked on this week!

Since this is our first time using Spine, and although we were clumsy at first, we started to enjoy it as the character's movements became more natural. Actually, we were hesitant to purchase the Spine program back when creating Utosuya due to lack of funds, but thanks to your support, we were able to buy the program and create in-game illustrations with Spine. Thank you so much for loving our game, and we'll continue to strive to improve!

The current progress of Sylliman's standing illustrations are as follows:

• Completion of the pose and expression drawing for the half-profile illustration to be used in the status window
• 50% completion of Spine animation for the half-profile illustration for the status window

We plan to complete drawing the front-facing expressions & poses and the related Spine work done by this weekend.

After we finish working on Sylliman's standing illustration, we will proceed with status window-related UI design and 3D modeling of the room using Blender next week.

#3. Overview of Work Order

Although there are three heroines in SEKSCAPE, considering the situational background of a man and woman trapped in a room, we are planning three separate episodes, each featuring a different pair of man and woman.

The main story will feature Sylliman as the heroine, with the other two heroines to be added later.

Therefore, the development order will be as follows:

1. Complete work quickly based on Sylliman's part to finish the demo version for you guys
2. Completion and release of the main game
3. Work on the remaining heroines
4. Release of versions with the remaining heroines

With that, we conclude the weekly update for the fourth week of July.

We hope all of you stay cool and have a wonderful weekend. (｡•̀-•)✧!
