Hi everyone,
Just here to give you all a quick update before the final stretch to the v0.11 update!
Yes, I know it's been a long time since the last version dropped. Believe me, nobody's more frustrated about the development time than me. Despite allocating whatever free time I have at nights and on the weekends, there seemed to be a never-ending amount of text to code. At times I even find myself getting a little sick of seeing Val and the character's faces -.-
But atlas, I persevered, and now the end is in sight! One more scene to go and we will be ready for release after a little play-testing. My estimates put the release sometime in the later half of next month.
Meanwhile, a little information about the upcoming update. Compared to the previous versions, the amount of images this update has is HUGE! If you all want the numbers, there are 296 images rendered so far for this update! And I am still adding a few whenever I feel a particular scene needs one. Comparatively, the previous update (v0.10) only had 123 images, and the one before that (v0.9) had 180 because of the shopping scene. So yes, this upcoming update is going to be almost twice the size of previous ones!
Also, in this update, the MC and Valerie are going to make critical decisions that are going to affect the choices that they will get in the future. In previous updates, the decisions they make will only affect 1 or 2 scenes the most. But in this update, their decisions would affect not only the kind of scenes the player will end up viewing in the future, but also the choices they receive. This means that from this point on, the game that had been relatively linear so far, would truly start branching out into more branches.
Of course, all this means that I had to plan more carefully and code more logic in order for the game to flow as intended. Often times I realise after coding a scene that I had to insert smaller scenes in front to explain why the player had arrived at this point. As a result, the development had taken up much more time that I had liked it to have.
At this point, I really want to thank all of you once again for being so patient! Believe me, the end is near, and we will be able to see the result of all that waiting soon! Hopefully it does not disappoint.
Lastly, I'm leaving a preview image for you all! Valerie seems to be surprised at something! Any guesses as to what she saw? ^^
As always, stay healthy!
Cheers,
DW
