Development DIary #59

Time for a development diary!

As you already may know, we're working on the third update of Shuggerlain, the first one after the prologue. We could probably say that this update will be one of the most important  updates (if not the most) of the game, for many reasons.  In this update, you should already be able to have a better picture of the mechanics of the game than in the prologue. "Dates" will start with this update, plot will also give a better a idea of the current situation in Shuggerlain, and the navigation through the map will also begin.

As you can see on this wip map, there's no choice after the prologue. Ashtera is a peninsula as we already explained, so the first step is just advancing to Dynae's nation: Yalen. But after that you'll be able to select the roadmap.  Well, let's be honest, as this is the development of a game (not a completed game yet), all of you will advance through all the nations before reaching Arax Capital as we release update after update, but in the final game it won't be totally necessary. Similar to Space Paws in some kind of way.

Anyway, here it is the usual task list and its status for the update v0.16 of Shuggerlain:

Apart from this, some of you will be happy to know that after this update we'll also work on an animation comission for a quite beloved Space Paws character :)

That's all for now. Stay safe and be good!

P.S: About the map,  Arax nation is clearly the biggest one of all Shuggerlain. The rest of the nations will have similar size to Yalen.

Cool

kalb

Yup! :) That will actually be a nation

Taifun Riders

Hope it was worth the money too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Katsuie

Are you gonna do anything with those 4 little islands above the main map

kalb

I can tell you that including Arax, there will be 10 nations more and the most of the updates will have a new nation so... my maths say 2.5-3 years from now on :) It should be a bit quicker than space paws as we have an extra artist for the backgrounds, but anyway, we prefer to go step by step.

Just from the geography hint, I'll guess this game is going to take at least four years to complete! And yes, I'll still be here. ;)

Hint: she has a tail lol

Well, unlike space paws, dates are not a "wall" you have to pass to advance through the plot. You will be able to ignore the ladies (at least the most of them) and only focus in your military campaign. A way funnier game! But well, if you feel brave enough, you can always date with them and you know, save game is your friend. Yeah, we definetely need something like that in real life.

Taifun Riders

I wonder who that space paws character is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Katsuie

Do we have to take the characters on dates? Can I just routinely disappoint them like I do the women in my real life?
