Progress on 0.6.0.0
Good afternoon,
it's Friday afternoon again and I want to take a short break from work to review the past days.
The week started with me making some final changes to the goblin village map. After that I finally finished the map and added light effects and animated parts like torches and fire. Next up were the goblins and the positions between which they should change, so a simple daily routine.
Now that the basic framework was in place, I set about writing the story and adding the necessary events. I noticed that a few sprites were missing. In the case of Tia, for example, I can't assume that the player has already unlocked her tribal outfit, so I had to think about something and ended up making suitable sprites and dialog pictures. You'll see why this was necessary when you play the section.
Writing the confrontation scene took me more than a day because I had to test it a few times until I was satisfied with the dialog. After that I finally edited the pictures of the animation with Ugotha and the MC that I made last friday. Currently there are 4 animations + transitions.
I then worked on some bugs that were reported to me, once again a big thank you for that!
Also while fixing the problem of a bug with the Winterhowl quest for Helena not resetting properly I edited Yasmine's livingroom animtion slightly to make her butt less edgy. It is one of my earlier animations, but I kind of still like it... although the frontview could probably use a rework.
And in the course of that, I also tested Bianca's new scene again and wasn't really happy with the dialog I had written for it. This led to me making more intermediate images for it and completely rewriting the dialog again adding some more dialog sections to it... This also led me to adapt parts of Bianca's earlier dialog to make her plot more plausible. I'm still thinking about adding a final dialog with her that reflects on the events in the Goblin village, but for now I want to focus on the Goblin village and the final event first.
This is the current state of progress... so as much as I hate to say it: I will need more time. Probably even the whole coming week. Because what's still missing is the final story event that I want to add to have a good conclusion for this update and also dialog for Ugotha's sexscene + character developement for her. And yeah I also still have to make an animation for Gritz & Bianca + add a scene for that.
While I've completed many of my planned tasks for this week, there are still a lot of loose threads I want to tie up before I can call this update complete. Originally I was also going to add an alternate route for the goblin camp around Snikka... but I'll have to rule that out for now, as it would require a complete set of new animations. This will be added in a future update (perhaps as a bonus scene). For 0.6.0.0, the option to take her side will be grayed out for now.
That now written, I'll go back to working... I will try to release the update before next Friday, but since I want to avoid crunch I will assume Friday for now.
But now back to work and I wish you all a nice weekend!
