March 26: Weekly Update
Added 2023-03-26 18:30:02 +0000 UTCHello all!
For this week I have been deep in on the Coding side of things, specifically ensuring that a working gallery is in place for the upcoming update.
What this means:
Since I had to pop the hood and tinker around with some of the earlier coding, the current saves for the prologue are not going to translate to the upcoming update. I know it sucks when that happens, but I am working on future-proofing as many things as best I can so that this won't occur deep into development so now is realistically the best time to sort these sort of things out!
With the functioning gallery, I have updated the UI a little bit to reflect that, and also included character bios and size stats within game as well (thanks to some suggestions online!).
Attached are the semi-final look of the gallery. One thing you might notice are little locked circles below the profile portrait. Once I have all the substance of the update complete, I will add in some small polishing touches like showing alternate costume poses in those little circles (sort of like in other VNs where you can see clothed, underwear, swimwear, and nude etc.) just as a nice little extra to the game.
In terms of release date, I am pushing for end of April - mid May so that I am able to get Chapter 3 on time for Christmas (a holiday special with Elizabeth and Cybil would be quite nice!)
With that, here is the second last character of the update - Lt. Smash. I'm sure you'll like her more than she likes you!
Have a great week!
