Devlog #17 — Final Stage of Work on Version 0.5
Hello everyone!
Work on the update continues, and the progress over the past few days has been truly significant.
Renders & Visual Content
+70 new renders
(including background images for the new mechanic — animated moving backgrounds during car rides)
Animations
+4 new animations
(frame-by-frame animations are also present, but as usual, I don’t include them in the total count)
✔ Current Total
•
310 renders
•
15 animations
The update has become bigger than I originally planned — but it’s absolutely worth it.
Choices & Story Structure
Version 0.5 includes:
•
3 choices tied to decisions from previous parts
•
+1 choice — for a spicy scene
The logic of choices has become deeper and more refined, and the impact of your past decisions is felt more clearly.
At the same time, everything stays within my usual style:
influencing atmosphere and character reactions without splitting major story paths or locking content.
Text, Code & Translation
• All dialogues and text are fully written
• The translation is progressing actively
• Code is about
90% complete
• The script now contains
2300+ lines of code
Remaining tasks:
✔ Select music and sound effects
✔ Perform full testing across the entire update
About the Release Date
Unfortunately, I’m just slightly behind the original schedule.
The release planned for November 20th is being moved to
November 22–23.
The delay is minimal, but necessary to polish everything properly — the update turned out very large and dense.
A bit about Version 0.6
The concept for 0.6 is already fully formed: I clearly see how the story will move forward and what key scenes and moments will appear.
A few words from me
Version 0.5 became the most packed and the most difficult to write out of everything I’ve made so far.
There is a lot of drama, romance, flirting, emotional nuance — and all of this required a huge amount of careful writing.
I really tried to make it by the 20th, but as always, time is never enough.
Still, the result is worth every hour I’ve put into it.
Thank you all for your support ❤
