Development Update: 01/10/21

Added 2021-10-01 10:15:17 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone.

A few images to share with you today. making some good progress on many different fronts. Let's start with the 'Beauty is skin deep' post. I had some great feedback on this, some via patreon and others via DM on discord.

I think everyone is happy with the differences in the scenes and generally understand the unique look of Emily that I was striving for. And as one person put, the difference is night and day.

With that in mind, the first image I will show you is an early "in daz" scene I am updating:

This is again from chapter one and is when the MC and Emily are visiting the museum. Originally the scene was very empty only showing Emily, or the brief flash of the MC. Again the lights were not set up very well for this type of scene. I have fixed the lights and added some background characters. The eagle eyed amongst you may even recognise one of those characters.

I am still working on the scene, so some aspects may change in the final version. Also, please note the screen shot is not a rendered image and is a textured view inside of Daz used for building scenes.

Not sure if these new scenes will make it into the next update, these are very much a back seat to pushing the project forward.

The next image I have to share is the high level progress tracker:

This has been expanded with the remaining scenes for this update, and yes - some are deliberately obfuscated, I'll let you decide what "TFS" means.

The alpha build will be up over the weekend for those on the highest support tier. In addition to the progress tracker I have taken a capture of the label map currently in use in game:

Each square represents a scene, and within that scene will be several choices and paths. The above is NOT a variable map, it only shows the scenes as some boxes contain more than one path. No spoilers are on the titles, but it's interesting to see things like this - at least for a nerd like me!

And finally, some of you will already have seen this, however a user on discord mentioned about a "Yakuza styled Kimiko" and who am I to argue?
