006 - Dev Blog

Hello, hello! Godness, would you look at the time? It’s dev blog o’clock!

Banshee continued working on Amelie this week, she adjusted the shading on her body to add more details to it and updated her face a little bit, Amelie is also going to be getting a few more expressions so she can express herself better for you guys! Banshee also finished up another CG and started to sketch another one.

Vane has been hard at work implementing all the new scenes into the game, adding all the new CG’s and backgrounds, tying all the scenes up together, and making sure all the branches stay consistent with the player’s decisions. It’s not the most exciting work and leaves very little to actually report but hey, game development can be a chore with no glory sometimes!

We have a bit of bad news this week. Banshee as you well know has been working her little heart out these past weeks to deliver all the art for the release. But, it seems that she was pushing herself a little too hard. She has been complaining of wrist pains for a while now and this last week it got worse. Now, no need to panic, she is fine. But, she took this last weekend off to rest her wrist and she is going to the doctor today to see what she should do about it.

So, as of now, I can’t really say what is going to happen exactly because we don’t know yet. I’ll inform you guys as soon as I get news from her, it shouldn’t impact us too much but our deadline just got a little more difficult to beat. The game is still going to be released this month you can be sure of that, we have more than enough to give you guys a release we are happy with, but we might need to cut a scene or two depending on how long Banshee has to take it easy.

As of now, we have about 60k words already in the game with all the art needed to support it. We expected to be at around 80k for the release but we might need to dial it back to 70k. Of course, we can always release the game with some scenes lacking their CG’s, if we do that we can bump the first release up to somewhere around 100k. And, we would like to ask you guys what you would prefer! There will be a pool under this post asking that exact question! If you all can be so kind as to give us your opinion on this matter we would be really grateful!

To close it! We would like to apologize for this bump into the development but it was not something we could have predicted. Also, we would like to thank all our patrons for your support and for your patience with us. Hopefully, Banshee’s problem is nothing too serious and she can already be back to drawing tomorrow.
