So where are we now? How much work left until the game gets updated? When I could play the REVAMP?
Well, right now If you still remember, I'm on day 3(or day 2 in the previous version) in college specifically on the scene where MC sees the bullied girl. But even so, I haven't made the animations yet. For the next few days, I want to finish all the environments and props that I ported into HS. Once it is done, I'm planning to back to my animation training and will start making images again next month.
If you want to know it in detail as
JJJ84 suggested. It will look like this.
Writing: 100% (3 days of content with a lot of choices and not a linear story.)
Code: 80% (There's some part of the code that I still want to polish and make.)
Images: 59% (Stills a lot left to make since the story is less linear.)
Animations: 0% (Haven't worked on it yet.)
PS Edit: 0%
Proofread: 0%
Estimation: There will be around 4 thousand-ish of images on this REVAMP. Could be more, could be less than that.
And here is the new look of our MC later on inside the game. This is an old image that I made a few days after I make the current MC. I'm not willing to share the newest picture of him inside the game yet, but soon you will see it on my Patreon public post next month.
And this, for you who were wondering how the images gonna look like. Again, old images from when I practice my lighting and not a part of the game. Basically, it will look the same for a bright/day scene, but you could feel the lights if it's a dark/night scene. That is one of the main focuses of this revamp, lighting and vibes.
Several questions that you might have in mind about the REVAMP:
Q: Which part of the game gets REVAMPED?
A: Everything, the core is basically still the same, but it has more choices and a less linear storyline. The motto that He and I used back then when we work together is
#ChoiceMatter. It will end like version 0.2 but have a lot of change in it.
Q: How long is this REVAMP playtime?
A: Around 2-3 hours for a single playthrough and depends on reading speed as well.
Q: 3 days? Isn't it only have 2 days on the previous version?
A: Well yes, I decided to add another one day before the start of the previous version for the sake of the story and hopefully will help you understand our MC conditions and circumstances.
Q: What do you mean by a "less linear" story?
A: Well basically it means that it has more scenes depending on what choices that you choose inside the game. Like for example, this is kinda a spoiler as well btw.
At the end of day 1, when you go to a club with Della, there will be a girl that asked you to come over to her apartment. Depending on your choice you might have a one-night stand with the girl or reject her and spend the rest of the night with Della. Each choice will lead you into 2 totally different scenes in the morning, either in your room with Della in the morning, or a stranger Bed in her apartment. There are only a few of these on this revamp, but later on, you will see this kind of branching a lot.
Q: When?
A: I think it will be in January. To be honest, there's is still a lot of things to do. After the images and code are done, I still need to find a good song for the game, and the game also needs to get a proofread and beta test before it's fully done. So it is still a lot of work and hopefully, the Alpha version(No proofread, no song, some bugs) will be out somewhere in January 2022.
Q: Who is this guy that you keep saying?
A: His name is OYTE(Open_your_third_eye), shout out to him. He is an amazing guy that helped me a lot during my early game and also open my eyes about good story writing
I respect him a lot so if you guys find him don't forget to do that as well
Well, I think that's all that you need to know about the REVAMP update, for now. I hope these 2 posts that I send here will answer all of your questions about the Revamp update. I will start posting again on PATREON next month, I still need to make a few things to post first, and hopefully, my Patreon post will back to normal again according to my plan. As usual, if you do have some questions about the game, don't be shy to ask me directly in DM here or my discord. And I WILL answer it when I see it
Thank you~
