V0.11 Progress Update #3
V0.11 is progressing well. I've hit a good stride with the story and know so far I'm on track to get everything I want added to the update. Serena has a large story event with a new character that introduces a lot of new ideas for the main story. It's also the most complex scene, as a lot of parts change depending on previous choices made. Story wise, no matter your choice the story stays the exact same, but visually a lot can change. It was a fun scene to do, although it gave me a lot more appreciate for devs that offer branching stories. Keeping track of it all is headache inducing.
On top of that, this update sees Katie learning more about magic and meeting a certain magical creature, as well as experiencing magic being used on her as well. Honestly, the scene I'm rendering right now while I'm writing this is one of the daftest looking scenes I have done for the game.
I'm currently debating whether in future updates, I may choose a character to leave out of getting new story. I started with four characters and now there are six and adding story for each one every update really pushes the time constraints. So as well as which character should get the focus, I may also poll which character should not receive story. That's just an idea though, I'd love to keep adding story for all of them if I can!
Finally quick thing, the next set of preview images should be going up soon!
