0.6 Development Update 2

Added 2022-02-12 01:49:47 +0000 UTC

Hey, folks!

The work continues, we’re pretty sure we’ll be able to release the 0.6 update to Alpha sometime next week. All the new locations except for two (more like one and a half, but who’s counting) are finished, and the scripts are coming up nicely.

In the last update I mentioned that we learned a few new techniques that enabled us to make bigger and better locations. We’ve also made quite a progress on customised clothing, and we’ll be smoothing out the rough edges of the current costumes as time goes on as well as adding new items when appropriate. We’ve already been experimenting with the background crowds in the city, and now we’re very close to being able to deploy decent-looking background characters even when we need them close. And finally, we’re trying out a new animation pipeline. There’s an experimental animation currently in the works, not sure how it will turn out, and it won’t be ready for another few weeks, but I’m hopeful.

But let’s talk about something coming much sooner. The content of the upcoming release.

Yeah, we couldn’t just pass this opportunity up. You will see certain foreboding events unfolding before Blair’s arrival.

But she is almost ready to appear in the house, we just need to pick the outfit she’s going to pick in there. Don’t forget to vote if you’re eligible, the loose white shirt is currently winning.
