Hi guys, I hope everyone is well.
I hoped to post a bit sooner in the week but I've really wanted to get this first version of the new game out. Now I feel a bit more on top of things I've spared the time to make a post.
I've pretty much got all the game script down. As I went through it I felt I had to add a few new renders to flesh some scenes out a bit better and also fix a few problem ones.
Things I still need to do are interpolate my animations and encode them into video where needed, find and add music and SFX, customize the UI somewhat, make some kind of title page graphics, check for bugs, proof read etc...
Still a bit to do but we're almost there.
I was tweaking my code today for the animation speed and perspective controls. In The Visit I used (abused) the menu system for controlling the animations. One problem with this was that I couldn't have the characters speak at the same time else it would end up being repeated. Now I have persistent screen that has buttons for the different speeds and perspectives. There doesn't seem to been any reason why the player can't control the animation while the characters are talking etc... Obviously I may want to limit the controls or force certain angles and speeds if it makes sense to do so.
I noticed GPU prices are slowing coming back down. Perhaps not so much the more mainstream cards but the RTX 3090 is getting much closer to it's msrp. relatively speaking. I may finally get one.
Speaking of GPUs, I finished most of most of my rendering last week and so put my gpu's to use creating a VR version of one of the upcoming in game animations. But you will have to wait until the game is released for me to release it too. Can't be having any spoilers.
So this time I did some 4k renders of Ellie for you all. She's obviously a soldier, a marine to be more precise. I picked the outfit to perhaps show a softer side of her but inadvertently chose an outfit that's perhaps less revealing than what you have already seen.
I leave it here as I still have work to get done.
Thank you all as always and take care.
