A little bit of update of my current thoughts and plans for the future.
FIRST OF ALL
First things first, sadly I have to focus on a thesis chapter as well as make an animatic reel for our animated film in our university so that will slow things down quite a bit for me into my game's development
SECONDLY
I'll break down this into 2 things.
Well the good news is that, I've already finished all of the clips I made for each character for the trailer!
The bad news is that, I've gone back to my draw board and decided to make 1 full blown cinematic cutscene that I will also be using for the start of the prologue of my game. So no more too much reading just to get to know my character/s, that exposition is gonna be thrown out the window. We're jumping straight into the story as the cutscene ends.
So that makes it 2 versions for my game. A trailer and the full cutscene. I think it's an absolute win for me hitting that 2 birds with 1 stone.

Now, about the current progress, I've made a bunch of characters this afternoon. I made variants of my characters as well that will play an important role into the cutscene I'm making.
And there will be certain characters that you will see in the game that might end up possibly being one of the characters you can interact with the future
..
The reason as to why I'm making a bunch of characters is pretty simple. Recently, I've met a fellow Dev in the HS2 community and made friends with them. You can play their game here in f95, it's called
Love By The Water and I truly enjoyed my time playing it. I'm honestly impressed with how the game was made and we've had a bit of a talk.
Rather than using blank characters, I'm also gonna be using my own female character designs. I'll keep the population in my game relatively low so my scenes won't be too crowded but yeah, I think it's gonna be a positive for my game eventually.
+ I made 6 additional female characters today. Few of which are NPCs, few of which are major characters, and then some which I don't have any plans for yet.
If you'd like to know then, here's what I've added:
Lyra's teenage pregnancy model
Dr. (???)
A future major character - Damien's childhood bestfriend
A new female professor - Professor Amara Noir
A Student NPC - Ella
A gyaru - Shannel
