Hey guys,
it's time to talk about the
Games Progression!
Usually this would be a Patron-only post, but I want to do this one in public!
So let's get right into it...
Even so I was a bit silent on what I'm working on right now, I
didn't take any break since v0.20 release.
Right now,
I'm in full production of the next game version, which is named v0.21 (who would have thought, lol).
In
v0.21 Alenja's story will continue and the real magical training will begin. Therefore, our friends will travel to a new location. So far, so good. Of course there is a bit more to it, but I don't want to spoil anything yet.
Let's just say it will get very interesting and there will be some surprises for you and Alenja and the others guys as well
I will post some Preview Images in the near future!
And now to the BIG "GAME-CHANGING" NEWS:
As you all know, I plan things ahead and I always try to improve the game the best I can.
I know, since quite a while now that, when it comes to a
certain point in the story, I want to change/
improve some things in the game.
We are now very close to this point...
The matter is, there will be a new scene that will play in an "old location", from the beginning of the game. The thing is, in early production I have used quite some 2D backgrounds for certain scenes, but this obviously has changed a lot for newer scenes in the past year.
Now...pretty much
all new content I create plays in a
3D Environment, which does not only look a lot better, but also opens a lot
more possibilities for the characters to interact with the environment and stuff.
In this particular case, a 2D Background is completely unusable for what I have planned in the scene and also for almost every future scene in general.
Long story short: For the new scene, I need to
replace the old
2D Background with a new
3D Environment to make the scene work.
And in addition, I will also
remake the old scenes in the same location, so everything matches and nothing feels out of place. And also, I don't want to anybody to get confused when using a 2D and a 3D Environment for the same location.
So this particular location I'm talking about, will get a
3D Revamp to make old and new scenes match together.
THIS above was the
original plan I already had in mind, since a few month now. But these are not the game-changing news I'm talking about.
It was just the beginning:
Immediately after v0.20 was released, I started to work on the 3D Environment I need for the new scene. I already searched like forever for a fitting location (during the last months), but I found nothing suitable.
So I ended up
building my very own one, by
mixing around
30-50 3D-Assests together. And while I was working on it, the location became bigger and more detailed with every hour...more possibilities were coming to my mind of how
valuable this is for the
story, the
atmosphere and the
overall quality of the game.
To give you a rough idea, the
original plan was maybe around
5% of what I have created now. With all this new stuff, it will not only change a single environment in the game, but also the game itself.
And here is why...
GAME-OVERHAUL (PREVIEW):
- Scenes with old 2D Backgrounds will be Reworked in a Full-3D Environment
(
only if necessesary, some are good for now and will stay as they are)
- Some old Scenes will get Extended and more Detailed
- New Scenes will be Added to add some valuable New Content
- New Characters will be introduced (I'm sure you will love them)
...more details to come!
A VERY IMPORTANT
DISCLAIMER:
-----------------------------------------
It's not so easy to describe all this stuff and what exactly I have planned for the game and it's future. You need to see it to fully understand it! But believe me when I say, that this is indeed Game-Changing, but (and this is very important) WITHOUT changing the feel of the game itself.
What I mean is, if someone thinks this will the change the game in a way that it doesn't feel like "Alenja's Adventures" anymore, DON'T WORRY, this won't be the case!!!
But the game will take a
huge jump in quality, similar to a comparison between my old and new animations (probably even a much bigger jump than that).
I'm also aware of some questioning things, that come with it. For example, I
won't waste any time by reworking ALL old scenes. I will
only do what is neccessary and
makes the game better overall!
At the latest, you will understand when I show some Screenshots of the new 3D Environment and Characters.
But that is for the future...
-----------------------------------------
Right now, I'm
fully concentrating on the
next Update (
v0.21)!
Stay tuned for more guys and have a fantastic day!!!
