Unity The Night Driver [v1.1b] [BlackToad]

[blacktoad]

Promising.

After playing version 0.2 only 3 points come to mind:
1. Please learn to run at double tapping.
2. Maybe learn to look around highlighting all clickable stuff.
3. Gallery?!? Not sure if missed unlockable scenes with Gabi choices or in the end with the doors... but since walking/talking/gameplay is slow I don't intend to replay it immediately. Got no problem with making choices, but hope you can unlock all scenes in on playthrough.

1. Tried it in test builds, feels odd. Maybe I will try it again with better animation.
2. You mean highlighting an interactable object with a mouse? If that's it, I get that a lot. And I will change it in the next update. Funny thing is, it was like that in my test builds for a long time
3. Already on the to-do list, it's just lower on the list. I love galleries as a player and as an artist, ofc there will be one

The game is really slow on my computer. Is it quite resource intensive?

Yeah it is on my pc too, at some scenes and animations.
Now i saw a post about lowering the graphic details in options, did not notice that, will make sure to lower the details next time i play the game.

A question about v0.2 though: I got a movie foot rub scene with Anna and a sex scene with Gabi at your place. Did I still miss anything? Not sure if I made the right choices at Anna's place. And I read something about new characters called Christina and Gina but I don't think I've seen those.

There are two final scenes with Gabi, depening on choice.

Edit: And another one after car ride, IDK if you had that too. I believe that one is very linear, so you shouldn't had missed it.

I have a plan to try to build and test mac and android versions. If they work I will publish them asap.

wow amazing game i can tell from the start its a great story like very realistic keep up

 

[Whitenicky]

Yeah the game is amazing, i like the idea and all.

 

[JKH18]

Love the art, and especially the aesthetics of the characters. Too early to say anything about the story itself, but judging the writing by what we've got so far there's potential. Overall definitely a project worth following

Quick progress update

First I just want to thank all new patrons for support. I really appreciated that, especially because the game is in an early stage of development.
Just a little update on what I am working on right now. These are most commented and requested issues/features that I want to address now, before I go back to work on chapter 2 / V.0.3.

• Mac OS and Android version, build and testing
• Video / Scenes optimization
• Navigation / Interaction changes

After this is done, I am going back to writing. When I'm done, I will post the next progress update about what you can expect in V.03.

Love the look and vibe of this! Plus “Anna” kind of reminds me of porn star Maggie Green (a personal fav of mine), so I was pretty instantly hooked. If you throw in a hot lady cop to this story, you’ll be my hero.

Mac OS and Android

This was kinda hard, in a stupid way... Long story short:

Mac OS

For Mac builds I need a Mac computer. I made a version on my friend's old Mac. It runs but it’s barely playable (maybe cuss Mac is old). If anyone wants to try it here is the link:

Important for Mac users: For now, I can't fully commit to building and testing every version for Mac. I will try to change that in the future. Just keep that in mind, especially if you are thinking about becoming a patron.

Android

Bad news for Android. I did manage to build an Android app. But, unfortunately, it needs a lot of optimization, it’s not playable. Basically, I would have to make a new game. I think I just have to accept that my game cannot be a mobile game.

Progress update V.03

Hey guys, just a little progress update for version V.03.
I want to make it bigger than the last update, to almost finish the full chapter two. There will be two story progression lines, with Nicole and Anna, and one side gameplay with Nancy.
New places:

• Diner
• Diner back
• Hotel reception
• Hotel room
• Bar office
• Bar storage
• Bar back

New characters:

• Boris
• Christina
• Amy

New scenes (placeholder names):

• Jennifer sleep
• Pancakes with Nancy
• Nicole talk
• Anna and Mr. Dickson
• Anna night out
• Christina ride
• Amy in hotel
• Dream scene

I worked a lot on optimizing the game, and more important, optimizing development time. Taking into consideration all comments, what you like, what players care about, and what is taking a lot of development time but has no value. Here are some game changes in V.03:

• Player does not have to be near the objects to interact. Just hover the mouse over the object.
• “To-do list” and Notes are out, so Black book will have only girls stats. I will leave tips/objectives that appear in the top left corner.
• Stats for car, “Fuel”, “Wanted”, “Car condition” are out. The cost for driving will be cinematic. The longer the ride, the cinematic will be longer. I am cutting down the economy. I want to focus the game more on choices, girl's stats, and items.
• Nancy is moved to a side character. Side characters do not have stats, but they have scenes.

I think that’s all for now. Would love to know what you think about all of this. Thx!

Oh, too bad about android version. I'll wait more updates and try it later then. Thanks! Good luck, Dev!

Progress update V.03




Sorry for not posting for a long time, I am focusing on work. This time I first did all design, writing, and gameplay. It’s almost all done and playable. Next, I will work on scenes, I will post the progress of scenes, maybe some WIP's of the scenes.

 

[Doktor7007]

this game is prolly my new favorite game. I love the style, the setting, the story so far. Especially the scenes.


Any Idea how long till the next update?

It's just amazing!
upd. Was amazing: ver 0.2 are completely lagging and froze, animation just didn't moving. Even on low graphic settings
Unity to blame, ofc.
Other is still amazing!
