Status Update and SFW Sneak Peek (Build 0.5)
Added 2021-06-10 13:45:21 +0000 UTC
Hello you beautiful people. I have a few updates for you regarding progress on Build 0.5 and, at the end, some sneak peek images of what's to come.
As mentioned on the running update post, images for Chapter 9 were finished a little less than a week ago and I am now well into making the images for Chapter 10 with about 100 of them complete and roughly 250 left. Chapter 10 will also see the introduction of the next antediluvian character, Seth, who was previewed last week.
Earlier this week, I made a Behind the Scenes post on werewolf models in which I said "don't worry." Well, some folks were still worried and not at all relieved when they saw the preview image of a fully shifted werewolf.
After chewing on the problem, I started testing blends of different morphs and came up with something that is quite a bit more wolf-like. I presented three concepts for alternative models to senior patrons, and one model was a clear runaway favorite. So, I'll be using that model to update the partial-shift sequence that is included in Build 0.4, and the fully shifted version will be making an appearance in Build 0.5. As always, constructive feedback is very welcome and helps me improve the game/story! Thank you for pushing for something better!
While this isn't a guarantee, I am hopeful that I will have Build 0.5 out to you guys before the end of the month. Chapter 10 is going to be a technically demanding chapter to render for a variety of reasons that I'll share in a BtS post after Build 0.5 comes out. I'm confident it will be worth the effort, but because of the associated challenges I'm hesitant to make a lot of promises about when it will be ready. I also want to spend some time with the new music and audio assets and working them into this update and an earlier chapter. So, fingers crossed!
Made it this far? Alright then. Here are a few sneak peek images of what's coming in Build 0.5:
