Another post I just shared on Patreon:
Progress update
Hi all,
This was supposed to be posted on Friday, but there were rendering issues with a batch of animations (one of which I wanted to share with this update), so I had to re-make them and I lost a day and a half. Anyway, as you can see, I'm doing the scene with Rebecca (it's almost done, actually), and then I'm starting with the "story" renders. I'll reuse ~10 renders from WW, so with the scenes being just one animation set away from being ready, I'm pretty confident I'll be able to release the game before the end of the month. I'll try to even include the free-roam mode since the code is copied from i34, so it's just the location renders that need to be done.
Now, let me share a bit more about the game. If you don't want any spoilers, you might want to stop reading.
As all of you know, the game is a continuation from where the WW ended (I mean the "bad" ending). You got transported to yet another universe where Amelia and Rebecca were waiting for you, killed the redhead and transferred you back into your own body. This is the first thing you'll see in the game - you sitting on the table and Amelia talking to you. Then it's a repeat of the dialogue you saw in WW up until the point where WW actually ended - with Rebecca flying off to intercept the transport launched from Jack's ship. You'll get to play the space battle mini-game and after you win, Amelia and Rebecca will tell you a bit more about this universe. If you remember in WW they told you that here the old gods that ruled the world are alive and they've taken some of their people and populated habitable planets. They've build a network of gateways - the Stellargates which work a bit like the machine that got you here with the exception that they can only transport stuff across space, not time and not different timelines. You need a stellar gate at the starting point and it can get you anywhere you like. Unfortunately you can't just dial random locations since you might end up somewhere with no gateway and you won't be able to go back, which means you'll need to know the location of another gateway before deciding to go there.
Of couse not everyone can use the gateways and Amelia had to make a deal with Hera so they can reach your ship in time to rescue you. With no one knowing where Earth is, you soon figure out that your best bet of breaking the deal with Hera is getting back. And since the first stellar gate was built in Earth's orbit and your ultimate goal is finding it, I decided to name the game "Stellargate 1".
In the course of the game, you'll meet a mix of human and alien civilizations and have quite a bit of fun while doing that. You'll also meet ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Viking gods while trying to stay alive with Megan and Jack on your tail.
