Apocalust 0.03 progress update and last preview!
Hello Patrons!
Above are attached 2 previews, a "flashy" shot from an Ava scene coming up and a story shot from the character John, your “boss” in Apocalust.
This will likely be the last general progress update before
0.03 release, though there may be one more quick report depending how the next two weeks go.
Development is going good, a bit slower initially because of the holidays but January has been going well. Writing is close to done, more formatting/coding to do and adding sfx to after effects clips left. I did get stuck on a few coding things since I am trying to experiment with how I want to handle variables, whether similar to my last game and reuse that for when I add UI and stuff or use what I am using now which I don’t know will work to carry over saves for every version once that’s out. I’m going to leave it for now and work on that sort of thing for my next release and focus on getting this version out the door so you guys can have some Ava for now and then work on 0.04 after.
For the
Ultra Gamer patrons, there will be a new poll up within the next few days (tonight possibly?) once I decide which girl I want to work on for January’s special renders and animation.
I think I might have said it before but just to reiterate what’s coming up and what I’m planning to do.
0.03: This is content is a similar style to 0.00/0.02, some Ava story, smaller than last release in animation count but might feel about the same length as I’ve changed the format a bit to try to get more done and have less scenes making things feel less spread out.
0.04: For 0.04, this one I am going to be working on getting the UI and stuff done, having save screen and stuff as well as having it launched with most likely Mrs. Perkins/Naomi’s stuff since a good chunk of Perkin’s stuff is done and her story ties into Naomi’s as well.
Just a note on speed of things. I know this tends to happen at the tail end of every release or if I am behind but I got a few people telling me to hurry up and I am just telling you right now, especially if you are new here, I am simply a slow dev, I wish it wasn’t the case as it hasn’t always been, but that is going to be the reality for now until I speed up again.
I have a lot of comment’s on things I want to add to the game soon, I am going to save these for after release as I want to do a lot of things for the one after this like fixing up the story and adding a lot of things I’ve wanted to be done for a while now.
That’s it for the moment, I’m really excited to see what you guys think of Ava’s stuff as I feel in a similar mood to when I made the demo where I just kind of made what I wanted and didn’t obsess too much over the outcome and just had fun with it.
Thanks a million for the support, have a great weekend and I will be back soon!
