Hi!
No major news, I'm just letting you know I'm still alive and still working on the game. So what I've been up to?
GUI looks good. Really good. Most of the necessary stuff is already done, the same with coding. Yup! I'm happy to announce that all the tedious parts of the development is already behind me. Sure, I'll need to work on the code a bit more, a bit on the GUI as well, but these will be cosmetic changes only. (I hope).
I did some writing as well, some re-writes of chapter 1, pushed the story layout even further (reaching up to chapter 7). What I'd like to do before I begin production is have the complete story layout - more detailed up to ch.7 and only basics from 7 to the end, so I know exactly where I'd like to go with both story and characters, and also, how to properly end the story. Maybe with a bit more bang than in Deliverance.
So what now? Now that the GUI is more or less done, I'm gonna switch my attention to one of my favorite aspects of being a game developer. Environment creation! A very long process with dozens of different locations, most of the time created from scratch, with custom textures. It sounds like a lot and it really is! But I'm gonna spend way more time per day on it since... I simply love doing it!
I also know I'm behind with character introductions. I'll try my best to post more, but I wasn't really happy with how Nina turned out (and she's been reworked completely), and I don't want to post promotional images without being 100% satisfied with the results. I kept changing the skin texture multiple times, and... well, you'll have to see it yourself to judge! Now the skin is more GPU-friendly and still looks realistic. I'm still experimenting with different methods, but I promise you soon (tm), I'll have a production-ready skin texture.
On the more technical side of development, I purchased another RTX3090, so now I'm running two. Which is well... more GPUs = more power = faster render times!
That's it for now. I hope the next post I'll make will be a character introduction for Nina (again) or a new one, but... we'll see!
Thanks again for being here and for supporting me!
Take care!
