Hey everyone,
first Dev Log of the year, so Happy New Year to everyone.
I got back into my usual dev work on January 2nd when I started setting up the first renders for Chapter 5.
Before that, I did a bit of planning, setting up some environments for later parts of the chapter, new characters, you get the idea... basic stuff.
I also started writing and coding the first lines of dialogue into Ren'Py.
Of course, the progress was a bit slower than usual because of the holidays. In the end, I still got more done than I expected.
I got 77 renders done this week and the script file contains 660 lines.
Next week's work will be mostly rendering to catch up a bit with the already-written dialogue.
The plan for Chapter 5:
I already mentioned at the end of last year, that Chapters 5 and 6 will be a bit different compared to the first 4 chapters.
Chapter 5 will have no content with Kaija, Elea, and Fiona whilst Chapter 6 will focus on their personal stories.
The reason for it is, that the bigger part of Chapter 5 will focus on a specific part of the world where it doesn't make sense for these 3 to show up.
On what part? Well, you can get an idea if you look at the attached Chapter Title (I usually render these when in Beta but this time I did it early because of this Dev Log).
You can expect more pointy ears in the coming months and throughout Chapter 5.
The first part of Chapter 5 will start where Chapter 4 ended (surprise!) and after a few scenes dealing with the aftermath of Chapter 4's ending (and 2 potential lewd scenes...) the story will move on to show the other side of the impending conflict.
It'll give you a bit more time to explore the Elves of The Neverwhere Tales and a bit more time with the one LI that hardly had any screen time yet.
I think that's it for now.
Have a nice weekend, guys
Cheers,
Ceolag
