Development Update #33 - The next step.

Hey there everyone. How are you all doing?


Today I'm here to talk about the next step on the game development, but first I want to say a huge thank you to all of you who are still helping me with these troubled times. A lot of people in my country have lost their jobs because the government is not impeding the huge billionaires from firing people over the quarantine, it's chaos here. And of course, with a president who flirts every time with the American President, we aren't ...

Development Update #32 - Json Editor finished! Pt 3

Hello my Patrons, how are you all today?

Today I want to talk about how the storytelling of a day in the game works.


First, we need to understand how the game works. The game has two important parts, GODOT with all the code who will read certain files, create save files, show you guys images, text, etc. And the Scripts.

The scripts contain the Dialogs, routes, background info, etc for Godot to read and then show you in the correct order. The code on Godot is almos...

Monthly Thanks Message #8

Hello, my fellow patrons. Are you all feeling well today? I sure hope so.

I want to say a few words today for all of you who are constantly helping me.


You guys are amazing. It's because of you all that I can work without stop on the game. Also, I just finished the editor today, and it seems to be working. I've sone some few tests and I will make a new Dev update as soon as possible to talk about it, but first I need to try it edit the current days and save new ones to ...

Development Update #31 - The JSON/DayScript Editor - 2

 

Important Message here:

Hello, my patrons! How are you all doing those last weeks/months?

I know things aren't as bright as we would hope so, but please respect the quarantine times and follow the regular steps of hygiene, okay?

If you're feeling sick even if it's just a normal cold, use a mask. The masks are out of stock? Check some tutorials online on how to make your face mask. Remember, even if a Fabric mask is not as effective as the ones...

Development Update #30 - The JSON/DayScript Editor - 1

 

Hello there!

How are you all doing? I'm fine and working a lot in those last weeks.

After some time trying to deal with the QT Creator which has the best documentation I've ever seen in my life but the worst visual editor for a software in the planet, I decided to talk a little with the lead artist of my game, he's an amazing programmer too so he said: "Why not check if it's possible on Godot?" and I remembered, Godot does have a part specifically made for Software.

Monthly Thanks Message #7! - Finally -

Hey there guys! I'm sorry if I wasn't able to make the Monthly Thanks Message for December and January. It's not that I forgot, I just didn't have enough time.

I'll try to continue doing those messages every month for now on, so to make sure I'm thanking everyone since it's been three months, this message I will thank every single patron I had and are currently with me!


So, for all my Patrons of February, thank you:

Development Update #29 - Gallery #3

Hey there guys, I'm here to report the development of the game again. I know the updates aren't as frequent as I wanted, but the more complex this project gets it takes more and more time to complete.


First of all, I want to say thank you to all my patrons, thank you for staying with me, helping me and testing the game, sending reports, etc. You guys are amazing. Just a quick reminder, now each tier has a personalized message so, every time you change your tier, you'll get a ...

Development Update #28 - Gallery #2

Hello there guys. 

If you, as a new patron has the habit of looking through the old Development Updates here, you must know already that I'm not that fond of creating a Gallery for the project. It's not that I hate a gallery, but I knew that to add something like this on the game I would need to make some changes to the JSON files and the editor itself (for the JSON Files). That being said, the other reason was I knew creating the mechanics for the gallery would be a pain. And oh, ...

Development Update #27 - Gallery

Hey there guys, I'm here today tot alk about the gallery.

After a month and a half working tirelessly on the project, I'm not at a point where I only need to (probably, not sure yet), to copy-paste the code and change certain names and all the sections will "Work".


By work I mean: Animations work, buttons work, everything works.

However, there's still the 'Day' part of it. Where I should put the signals of when a Background is Unlocked? When you as a player should...

Artwork Completed - Map - Sort of.

For everyone at my Tier 3+ Patrons, thank you so much for the wait. Here I bring you guys the almost done map layout made by Wagner Mutt. Since today is the last day of the year, and tomorrow no one works here, I don't expect to get my hands into the completed artwork anytime soon. However, the map is almost completed, and you guys can see by the layout that I WILL need to change some texts on the last three days to fix some locations.

In my previous locations on the simple map, I did o...

Concept Art - Map

Hey guys, I'm here today to show a new type of art-set. Since the artist for the game, Wagner Mutt isn't making Sketch Lines anymore, I won't be able to give you guys the sketch for maps or stuff like that. Instead, I decided to give the half-done concept of the art he does, so for now on, tier 2 will be able to check on the half-completed work of a background. I'm sure he still makes a sketch line for characters and this is just for backgrounds, but even so, the results are so amazing that I...

A very special message!

Hey guys, I'm here today to say to everyone: Merry Christmas Eve! 

I know for some of you it's not the 25/12 yet, and I'm pretty sure given the time zones we all will be celebrating this holiday at different points in time, but I just wanted to come here and say that.

A message for every patron:

And given I'm here already, lemme give you guys some heads up on the development of the game.

In a simple way of speaking, I'm stuck. The work is not halted, I am workin...

Development Update #26 - Let's talk protagonists.

Disclaimer: I will talk and name some released games to use as an example here. Some of them are paid, others are fan reimagination of the originals, some are the original release of a game. I want you to understand I'm not condemning any of those games and I invite you to buy them and play them to have your own conclusions about it. All the information I'm saying here is just to help me to prove a point of why things are the way they are in my game, and why I did that. So please, enjoy ...

Monthly Thanks Message #6!

Hey there guys, today I'm here to say Thank You!

That's right, another month goes by, and a lot of you try your best to keep helping the project. It makes me so happy that there are people interested and investing in this, it gives me strength and willpower to continue.


This month thanks message is organized by lifetime, and the color represents what tier you're helping currently. It's a fun way I found to make everyone know what they are helping with. Let's think about...

Development Update #25 - The gallery road.

Hello there guys! I hope you all are having an amazing day.

Today I'm proud to announce I'm almost done with the skeleton of the gallery.

But first:


What will we have in the gallery for Just Friends:

The answer is simple: Four sections, three images related and one sound related. On the next alpha, you will be able to open the gallery from the get-go and play any of the current songs in the game. Not only th...

Development Update #24 - Gallery System.

Hey there guys, I'm here today to tell you about what I'm working on and what I have done for now on the game.

I spent the last week working on the revisions for the game, it may not look like but I don't have too much time to work on the game as I wanted to. Since not only me but sometimes Grammarly decides to change an entire sentence and make it looks weird as hell if I'm not careful with it, problems on the text are found every day.

Just this week I've been able to fix 46 dial...

Monthly Thanks Message #5 + Changes.

Hello there guys.

It's another month ending here, and I came with the monthly thanks message for you guys, I'll welcome here all new patrons while I'll make announcements about the future Thanks Messages!


So, before I start thanking all of you guys I have to announce, this is the last Monthly Thank Message that will take the current format. Due to the fact that the Patron number can rise to an amount where it will make it way harder to keep track of where to put a patro...

Quick Update!

Hey guys, I just wanted to come here and say Thank You for all your hard work sending me those text corrections. I'm gonna spend my weekend applying those corrections and if I have time after I finish that, starting the Gallery System. From everything right now, the thing we need to add here is a gallery but first comes the story.


The gallery will feature all Backgrounds - Sketches and Finished, Concept Art of the old character portraits and unused art. For now, the only thin...

Alpha Release... SOON!

Hey guys, I just come here to let you know that just right now I finished day 3. At least partially.


I'm up doing this since 12:00 PM the time I woke up today after not the best night I had trying to sleep. And I finished shoving the text on the JSON file now: 21:27.


So now, I need to do some health tests on the game: First I'll use my Overflow checker to catch every dialog going out of bounds and splitting them. Since I made sure to divide the routes in a ve...

Quick Update Again!

YAY! Today is not my great day. But I'm trying to be productive on my free time as always.

Since Scrivener isn't working for me right now I can't finish correcting the Day. And believe me there's a lot to correct! 


So, since Scrivener isn't avaliable for me to show me how bad my English is, I did some productive little stuff. 


First, I added a new banner to the page! It isn't a big change, I just added a Tweeter logo on it stylized with the co...

Development Update #23

Hey there guys. Before I start, I want to say thank you for all your help.

If you're a new patron, don't worry, every time before I finish a new alpha and close a new build I check all the new patron's names and add them to the credits, and once a month I check if some name maybe is missing.


If your name is missing from current build credits, please warn me and I'll fix it right away!


Now let's talk the next alpha, shall we?

The build 0.14A will c...

Monthly Thanks Message #4

And here we are again, the end of a month.

A lot of work done, a lot of work to do, the work on the game only gets bigger and bigger, and the updates end coming in less frequency than I wanted. Since I don't have enough time to work only on the game, I say here now for all of you guys: I'm sorry for the updates coming so slowly. I'm doing my best to bring you new content at least once a month. On the ideal scenario, I should bring you an alpha update and an Artwork update. However, I al...

Little update to the page banner.

Hey there, I was looking at the page and decided to update the banner. It will change over time for now on because Wagner just got a new character portrait and Karnal's gonna be finished soon. The third character already has a name but I'll only work on him after the first Demo Release.


Anyway, I hope it's better than the last one, I did like this one more though. See you guys on the next update, and for the non-patrons who're here, consider helping this game, any tier is a b...

Quick Update.

Hey guys, I've come here today to give you a quick update on the game development.

Right now I have two choices: I can add a new alpha with the current additions to the game, which I won't. I really want to finish and add the third day for Wagner. But the last three days I was incredibly sick and couldn't work on the story at all. To be fair I did work an hour or two every day but that's not nearly enough. Right now I'm with the First act completed and finishing the second one today. Bu...

Thank you so much for continue to constantly support my project as a tier 3 and tier 4, even if your reward doesn't happen as much as I wanted, when it happens I like to give it all at once for you guys.

It's your support that helps me a lot at the end of the month, and I'm sure that eventually, I'll be earning even more and I'll be able to actually buy more stuff for this game! So please, keep supporting me if ...

Wagner's new Portrait - Finished - Dressed Variation

Hey there guys. I finished exporting the first set of the finished Wagner's portrait.

For those who don't understand this, in the game we have Body and Head as separate objects, so I need to make some sneaky editions on Krita/Photoshop to put everything together and, you know, bring it here for you guys. 


Finally, after a long time, I have new content for you guys. Please, enjoy!

Later today I'll be releasing the Underwear and Naked variations!

Wagner's new Assets! #2-3

Here's the final part for now. Remember, the old Normal face now is the happy face. Sadly the new normal one wasn't available as a sketch for me to bring here, but you can always check on it later today on tier 3+ only posts with the finished artwork. I'm going to export them now, so see you guys later!
