[Progress Report]: 22nd of March
Added 2020-03-22 23:12:28 +0000 UTC
Another busy week at my real job and it doesn't look like I'm going back to my normal hours any time soon, but I was able to make progress and finish almost all of these placement segments! Not a lot of renders, but it takes quite a bit to code all of the variables. There was a rather strange bug for a while that replaced the entire library with Valentina's leggings...
It has since been fixed.
There are going to be some omissions with these segments, and they are definitely more of a "first step" to a bigger system. Right now, the characters have two or three different sets of dialogue to give hints of your relationship progress with them, as well as hints to what's going on in their story. My plan is for all of them to eventually lead to events with animations. Of course, three already do.
For the upcoming week, I'd like to spend time removing Harper's old room system and changing around the code so that both her room and Valentina's room are accessible once you've "unlocked" them in the story. This will make it easier to create new events in there while making the Academy feel bigger.
The final bit of work for the week after should compose one or two scenes to set up some plot elements down the line. In short, Update .35 is going well. There will be very little "new" story except for the changes to the introduction, but it will have a much stronger foundation to add content to, feel a little more fleshed out and "complete," and have at least three repeatable animations.
