Greeting all and hope your December is going well, Sol here.
Doing an update for Knight since he can be forgetful sometimes. So, what’s new with Broken Promise?
Well, the entire script is finished from start to end. Renders wise, like Knight mentioned in a previous update, it’s all done and photoshopped. All that’s left is just the coding part. Which is like 80-85% done.
We added a video that created and edited by the brilliant mind of Kato. Be sure to thank him on discord if you see him. He took the renders and music given and made something unique.
There will be an intro and outro sequence before and after the story so stick around. For now, there’s only 3 characters in these segments but we’ll add more as Knight gets better hardware.
I hope that you enjoyed the Tranquillity of Respite renders collection that Knight has done so far. It’s a challenge that I set for him to improve his one offs so that it has a more dream like atmosphere. Think of something like what Vargas is doing. It’s aimed not to copy the man but take inspiration from and get Knight out of his comfort zone.
There will be a Christmas collection and a New Year collection as well. Why instead of a side story or one-off event? Because, my style of writing takes time and effort to do and I rather focus on telling a good narrative then giving something half ass which won’t add anything to character development or world building. Not disparaging any developers who do it, just that I am working full time while doing the writing so it’s hard to find a balance to do additional work. That’s about it really. Pretty much once the full VN is coded, we’ll do some alpha testing to bugfix as much as possible. We’ll get to the beta testers and then release it for you all.
Alright then, stay safe during this pandemic and hope you all have a great Christmas season.
Best regards,
Sol Cipher
