Hey guys,

Here is the up to date walk through for Defending Lydia Collier v.02

As always with my games, I would recommend you play it following your own choices with your own consequences and successes, there are no choices which end the game in Defending Lydia Collier.

v.02 News!

Hello, thanks for all the support and everybody that is backing the game firstly!

Secondly I have some good news, the v.02 will be out next week. I'm not going to say a day because I always end up finding something wrong or realising I need 2 or 3 more renders in this scene or that scene and then having to fix it and miss the day I set, but one day next week it will be here!

What to expect in v.02:

Story progression, this update is very story focused. The reason being in sta...

v.012 Update Progress

Hey guys,

Just an update to let you know that the second part of v.012 is complete and I'm about 40% of the way to completing it.

Whilst this part is approximately 120 renders long, you'll only see 1 of 3 paths depending on Day 2 choices so about 40 renders, meaning the update will be about 200 visible renders long but nearer 300 in total.

Looking like it could be an early August release but I'll give a date when I'm closer.

Thanks again for the continued support!

Thoughts and opinions on a potential character

Hi,

So I have the game planned out pretty far ahead, and there will be a character introduced that is slightly different from anything I've ever done before and I would like some feedback on it.

The idea is that a character in their late 20s would be transgender. They were born a male, however when they were very young and pre-puberty, decided they wanted to live as a female. They then started taking hormone replacements to swap the testosterone for estrogen, and because of this t...

v.012 Act I Complete

Hey guys,

v.012 is going to have five main parts to it, and I'm happy to say the first is complete, 20% of the way there!

The update will be approximately about 200 renders long, and if things keep going at this pace it could be out a lot sooner than I expected!

WP

Who's your favourite character?

***this isn't going to affect the game in anyway way, story arcs are already planned***

Just wanted to know so far what the favourite models/characters are at the moment?

It can help me when creating promotional images, update menu screens and teasers, plus I'm just curious, if I know who the most disliked and liked characters are

Feel free to vote more than once if you have 2 or so favourites.

Thanks,

WP

Working on v.012

Just to let you all know I'm working on v.012 and this will have a dialogue fix from v.01, if there's any other bugs you find let me know and I'll fix those as well.

Oh and as we're in London, it's going to rain in v.012

Defending Lydia Collier v.01 Release!

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay, definitely a case of biting of more than I could chew with my last minute plans, but here is the complete v.01 release. It adds the complete second day, and fixes several bugs from the first, so please restart your game as v0.0 was only really a demo.

Defending Lydia Collier will be released by the end of the week!

Hey!

So I'm happy to announce that my new game Defending Lydia Collier will be released by the end of the week as a v.01 launch!

It could be as soon as tomorrow, but something always tends to crop up at the last second and need fixing so the release date will be Sunday 21st July if not sooner! As always it will be released to Patreons first with a delay before the public release. 

What to expect:

Update Progress v.01 10.07.19

Hello,

I've now reached the 300 Render mark for the first release.

Currently I've expanded the story slightly for the first few days and whilst it will still be 500 renders long, the first release will be Days 1 and 2. It will introduce all the major characters and have several choices in it. Day 3 has a lot of content planned and if I included it in the first release we'd be looking at nearer 800-900 renders and that will mean it is not released until August time, and this will b...

Update Progress 3 (Technical)

Hello,

Just wanted to give another update, progress is still going really well and we're nearing the 300 render mark.

One of the big reasons for the change to a new game was learning to render properly. One of the scenes in the new game (slight spoiler) is that you are visiting a busy pub. 

In this image I've got 9 different people in camera view and have made different textures for different images on the television. This whole render took 2 hours and I feel gives a mu...

Defending Lydia Collier Update Progress 2

Hello,

Work is still going great with the new project and I've now passed to 200 Render mark so I'm well on the way there.

The first release will cover the first three days of the story, with lots of different choices along the days and one major game defining choice included. 

Should still be looking for a middle of the month time release, but I'll put a more exact date up once I'm down the last 50 or so renders.

Thanks to everybody who has kept supporting me! 2019-07-01 17:51:23 +0000 UTC View Post

There will be some interesting people you can follow online to give some eye-candy whilst going through the story.

Defending Lydia Collier v.01 Progress

Hello!

Regarding the first release of the new game, which at this point I'm fairly certain I'll be naming 'Defending Lydia Collier', I've just reached the 100 render stage which has the first three scenes completed and several choices with future impact. 

I'm expecting at this pace for v.01 to be released mid-July as that's about when I'll reach the 500 Render mark which is roughly where I want to be for a substantive first release. 

So far I have planned (potentia...

The Main Character

So Male won the MC vote by 22-3 so here's the MC.

Meet Daniel Oakwood (although you'll be prompted to give your own first name at the beginning), he's a Barrister running a small private practice in a London skyscraper.

This game, as in my previous, will be predominately first person so you'll not really see a lot of him other than from the neck down. 

One of the criticisms of the previous game was the MC didn't really talk, so you can expect him to talk a fair bit more...

Fifth (and final non-MC) Character for v.01

The final character for v.01 will be DCI Vanessa Cavendish, the Detective in charge of investigation into Lydia. 

What to expect from v.01, it'll include an introduction to the case and focus a lot on the pre-trial elements with opportunities to build up relations with your assistant, the defendant or your assistant. 

As always choices will matter and they'll be a few of them.

MC will be out tomorrow. 

Fourth Character

Probably the longest I've ever spent on a character as I couldn't find a single modern British Police asset out there so I had to give it a go at recolouring and making some.

This is PC Stephanie Adwell, the main officer you'll interact with whilst accompanying Lydia to interviews and also who you'll need to speak to if you wish to review any evidence, or if you just want to get to know her better.

Poll for MC character shuts tomorrow and it looks very likely it will be a male, so...

Third Character

Robert Hitchins-Morgan QC will be the primary antagonist of the story, leading the prosecution's case to imprison Lydia. He's an extremely experienced barrister and nearly everybody watching the investigation and trial expects this to be just another open and shut case for him. 

Second New Character

So today I've made the second new character of the upcoming game I will be releasing.

This is Lydia Collier, a woman who separated from her husband several years ago; she has just been arrested following his disappearance after it was discovered he'd changed his will several days earlier to leave her his entire estate. Swearing she knew nothing about the will change and had nothing to do with his disappearance it will be the MC's job as her lawyer to try and exonerate her in any way you...

First Character

One of the first main characters that will be in the new game, meet Eleanor Wickes. 

She's a girl who recently left Secondary School and headed straight into the workplace being newly hired as your personal assistant, on the side she spends a lot of time posing for her growing Instagram. 

Male or Female MC for next project ($10 poll)

As explained in the Update News post, here's the poll for the next MC's gender.

Male or Female MC for next project ($5 poll)

As explained in the Update News post, here's the poll for the next MC's gender.

Update News

Hello,

Potential spoilers.

So the few weeks have been my final exams for this year at University, and a short week holiday with my family, hence why there hasn't been any news or update progress so far.

I have several new things that are going to happen going forward with my video game/novel making.

Firstly this game is going on hold, but a new one drawing on everything I've learnt so far will be launching.

It's too big, with too many paths, and it makes no sense...

v.018 Update Progress

Hey everybody!

Hope you all had a pleasant Easter.

Just an update on how the work on v.018 is going, I've finished six of the eight main parts of the next update, and have between 75-100 renders left to go before v.018 will be complete.
