Development update

Hey guys,

here's your weekly development update. I can't report much without spoiling things, but as you know I've been going over the scripts adding and tweaking stuff. Stan's part is done, and also most of what I wanted to revamp. All the new art is almost completed too, everything has been drawn and colored and I just need to go over what's left to be finalised (lights, shadows, backgrounds and ambient light).

As you can see in the above image, the graphical quality of the game has been improving quite a lot since the first chapters, and there were some illustrations I had to re-do. It's almost comical how bad the old version of Ian and Lena's first kiss looks compared to the new one... I feel this depiction makes the moment much better justice. A few other illustrations have received the same treatment, and new ones have been added.

Other than that, I just need to finish the last change I've been wanting to made: a new prologue to the game, since I've been feeling dissatisfied with the current start to the game for a while. I feel it's a bit bland and boring, and it could convey the game's mechanics in a better way. Once that's done and all the pieces are put together, it's revision and debugging time and then we can launch the polished version of ORS and keep moving forward with chapter 10!

I think there is too much yellow color in the new version, don't you think? Aside from that, the first image is feels fine to me.
But the important question is: Do we need to start over again from the beginning to be able to play the game in future chapters? If so, it would be a pain, I don't remember even half of my decisions..

Yes, most of the scripts are getting an overhaul so the saves are likely to be incompatible. But don't worry, you don't need to remember all of your decisions. Make the new ones. After all, some of the events will be quite different, and wouldn't apply to your old playstyle.

Well, I hope at least she did many changes, so it would be somewhat interesting to replay it again to see something new.
