TOXICity 0.02.0 update #2

Added 2025-01-06 23:31:35 +0000 UTC

All right, folks, we are deep into the work for 0.02.0, which expands the experience from the initial release. Laura joins John and Kallie in their vigil inside their office as they attempt to sort out what the hell has happened and what their next move is. In Chapter Two, you'll get time to learn more about your allies through how they react to the situation.

Regarding technical aspects, we still have a few items to implement, like the scene gallery, which will also be available from the Main Menu. The whole user interface is meant to be minimalist as we didn't want this title getting bloated, appearance-wise.

Also, we've got some additional music banked for when we need to add it to the game. And let me say that it's been a challenge to find tracks the work together while not sounding too much like the stuff that we used in our previous projects.

We're also taking great care with the story and plot pacing, making sure to open up the experience over the length of the first act, introducing more of the cast, and establishing their dynamic as you go. And just when you might be settling in, it's time for something to ratchet up the tension. Whereas 0.01.0 was meant to set up the story hook, 0.02.0 starts to lay down the underlying elements of the characters' personal issues. By 0.03.0, you'll start to see the beginnings of payoff for certain stats you should be cultivating. Exterior threats will also start to make themselves known.

In other news: For those who didn't see it, we dropped a poll asking who your favorite girl in The Interim Domain was. At some point, when all the cast has been revealed, we'll do something similar for TOXICity.

Thanks for your interest,
