Layer up!
Added 2018-02-12 17:11:41 +0000 UTCAs you probably remember, Big Brother had tiers of clothing. Kira moved into the house and everyone changed their clothes, which led to massive amount of work because we had to re-render a whole bunch of images. There were even a couple of events that stopped working because we didn't make new images with new clothes. Adding a third tier turned out to be even more complicated and we had to compromise, replacing limited amount of images in some events. Also, some players were asking us why NPCs didn't wear new clothes when Max gifts it to them. Adding dozens of variations of every image just to see new clothes would take insane amount of time, which isn't even the worst of it, because some images had two and more characters together, which multiplied the amount of images to remake even further.
Which is why Glamour is going to have layered images. Background is going to be its own layer, same with each character, clothing, items, etc. Of course, Rendering and editing sprites is a lot more complicated than just one image, but layers will make the game a lot more flexible, and that makes it all worth it.
This also works with items. When you buy a coffee-maker or a TV, you're going to see it in the Kate's house without us having to remake a whole room.

Dark silver maybe you can try to upload the converted version of big brother suitable for Android...... Please sir
2018-04-26 09:45:36 +0000 UTCWe have some plans to make an android port
2018-02-16 21:03:34 +0000 UTCI like how your future proofing. I wonder how far you want to push this, for example: I mainly like to play games on my android on sofa ever since summertime saga did this, i find it annoying to play games on my heavy 100 pound laptop, (its a beastly system that would make any pcmaster race neckbeard draw a tear but its overkill for games like this! /epeen bigger brag ended*) is there a possibility you will develop android compatibility? In my old age im turning in to a filthy casual mobile game player.

2018-02-12 23:01:48 +0000 UTCif you do shading just right with still images you can create minor illusory effects to adjust how something appears to be shaped, allowing for things like clothing support to be emulated. if you get really good at this then in future games you can keep the same level of quality and have different body parts layered so that you can even have different body types/characters with less work.
