Hyper Echelon - 10
Added 2021-09-18 16:27:28 +0000 UTCHey folks! Got another little update for you. I've completed writing all the game's dialogue and we are in the process of implementing the story scenes in game. The scenes are pretty basic, but we are incorporating scripted events where the sprites on screen move around and interact at times.
The above images are part of a later chapter after you've filled out the squad with all unlockable wingmen. I write and design the events, while Markus programs them in engine. These images are part of the literal guide I supply him to inform positions, and events. I also supply a guide for all character expressions used in the profiles. Each character has 3 profile variations; neutral, happy/excited, and distressed/angry.
The following is a section of dialogue from the above scene.
Tibula entrance
Taz: Total tundra, dude! Not a fun place for the cold-blooded, eh Trex?
Trex: Have mercy. This cold is daggers! ( Redwing moves close to Trex to warm him up)
Redwing: Kyuu!
Trex: Oh…, you’re so warm.
Thexter: You two make a beautiful interspecies couple. Bloop.
Taz: Hahaha!
Trex: The tin can jokes.
Taz: Hey, it’s not like there are a lot of Tokagen women around, Trex. Not a bad idea to start looking outside the species.
Redwing: Kyu, Kyuu!
Suri: Looks like Redwing should have no problem staying warm, but the rest of us could have issues with our weapons jamming.
You’ll be fine as long as you avoid flying over the dark blue ice.
Thexter: Roger Roger!
Scene continues in full game...
So far we have a few of these scenes completed in the game, and I have to say, along with the animated cutscenes, the presentation adds so much to the experience. I can't wait to play it all in sequence. Very soon!
