Hi all!
I have included more preview images, although I may get a little more cautious near the end about sharing certain things. I am now at 1239 renders and I should finish the script within the next 2-3 days. I am just leaving out one scene from this as I am still experimenting with doing the scene properly and may change what I write depending on that factor.
A few notes about 0.6 that I am trying not to spoil, but relevant.
1) For the first time, two ending (final endings) paths can possibly unlock or lock in the game. What this means is that Kane can lose possibly two of the 15 or so possible endings as a path during this update. One is on the dom path, and one is on the sub path. I will of course do a walkthrough about a week after I finish a nice release. No one will be locked into being forced to play such a path if it opens, but it could close off forever as a possible path if not triggered by the player.
2) I will of course not charge Patrons for April if I have to bleed into that month. I think I can make some really good progress in the next two weeks, and worry more about polish/testing than finishing the renders in March.
3) It is possible a minor side character can die in the game. It's not a major character (yet) but just a small thing out there -- possibly two but not sure yet.
4) I have included the title card for 0.6 -- as always, it means something to me in how I design/structure the narrative. Over time, it does keep changing and they do represent specific people/strategies in my mind. It actually helps me personally.
5) I have also included a minor map -- it will be part of the update with a small sample of lore and background as Kane learns about the overall world a bit, etc. This image only shows the territory of The Karlsson Group.
6) 0.6 will have a few minor animations, but I may create a non-animated version as normal. They are not special or anything and have generally stopped doing them, but I wanted to try and learn this stuff so did a little testing on it. But just disclosing that too.
I took a while, but I think last week I found an artist I like. (thank goodness!) Not a gigantic help for 0.6 at this point, but a little bit for sure. I have already tasked out two scenes.
I've been up a long time straight now, so I think I will rest. I apologize if I am not responding super well to messages, but I am starting to shift to what I call 7/7 days...7 hours work, 7 hours of the game all the time as I try and get to the end.
