Straight!? v0.21 Teaser 2
Added 2022-02-09 16:44:41 +0000 UTCYo,
I know I been quiet over here lately but the stuff that I've been working on has been really hard to share because of spoilers. I'm gonna do a devlog update pretty soon again to catch y'all up.
I did want to share a shot to show some of the power of the new computer in comparison to older shots. Obviously, given the picture I'm showing, we're going to see the classroom again and I wanted to actually show more students in the school than what we've seen in the past. Mostly because my computer can handle it and it just feels more realistic. My old rig wouldn't have even started to render this. I would click render and the Daz window would just disappear instantly and close the entire program. The crowded hallway shot from v020 was actually rendered by Blayke since he had the newest rig and was the busiest shot we'd ever seen in game. We'll see a few shots like this in the new update as well as the revamp afterwards. While they render very quickly (this shot took 12 minutes in 4k) they take several hours to setup so it does slow me down. Hopefully, it'll flesh the world out a bit more though and increase the immersion.
Comments
yeah, honestly the camera angles thing is kinda fun. it's like being your own movie director to some degree. It also gives you an appreciation when you're watching movies and stuff now when a shot looks good. There's a vision and some skill there that I honestly think i just took for granted before. Renpy isn't crazy hard. it's doable obviously because I'm able to pull it off but it's much stronger than what you see me doing, too. i'm not a programmer. i just google shit, lol

2022-02-16 21:22:51 +0000 UTCOK, now I'm excited - not only populating the classroom, but what looks like views from different angles? That's going to be a great addition to the texture of the game, and I'm eager to see it! You mentioned "Daz" - is that the name of the program you and Blayke are using to create the art work? I downloaded Renpy because my curiosity got the better of me - totally your fault, Aaryn! - and the old programmer in me just has to tinker with it. Haven't started on that, as my current work projects devour what mental energies I have, but I've been curious if you'd been creating/rendering in the Renpy program or were working with another. I've been really enjoying the art you've created, as it has a much more mature feel/look than a lot of the other games in this genre. I'm not a fan of the Power-Puff Anime some of them use, and the high end manga leaves me feeling a bit alienated... it's a bit too easy to take the over-the-top art and distance myself from it. That's why I enjoy you and Blayke's work - the story combined with the art keeps the characters "human" and relatable.
