Character Profiles | Shawn and Lorelei

For Lorelei's design, I wanted a really pretty girl but I had to give her a bit of an edge. She's a tough chick. She might live in a crappy part of town but she knows how to take care of herself. That doesn't mean I have to make her look like that though. I think I achieved a nice balance of a girl who's mean but is easy on the eyes.

Her personality isn't supposed to be complicated. She's from Old Town and for everybody who's lived there, life isn't easy. She's getting by though and she knows how to survive. And she's doing everything she can to make sure she ends up on top. She has a very simple profile but you'll learn more about her as the episodes go on.

I needed Shawn to look like a leader. Someone who had some street smarts and like Lorelei, someone who knew how to take care of himself. I think he's distinct enough not to look like everybody else but he doesn't have some crazy, wild design either.

Together with Lorelei, Shawn has carved out his own space in Old Town. You don't know much about him but more of his personality will be revealed if and when he interacts with the MC.

The Chargers will play a role in the storyline of Old Town. With the Chargers and Alfie and Jack, it feels like there are a lot of major players in that part of Sol City. I want to give life to Old Town. And if you're only playing to romance someone who's from Old Town, you'll understand what they're all about by understanding Old Town itself. There are lots of romances and plot points that will go through that part of town. And the Chargers, like everybody else, will have their role to play.

It's the start of October and we're approaching about a month since Episode 5 was released. Progress on Episode 6 is steady. If I could give an update on it, it would just be that I've got a bunch of renders done but I've still got quite a few more to go. There are going to be a few more animations in this episode as I try more new stuff and advance a few more relationships. I'm always looking for more feedback, so feel free to let me know if anything comes to mind.

My main objective in October is the same as it always is, which is to make progress on the next episode. Right now, I'm banging out these renders. Along with the renders this month, I'll be posting a lot more special renders to have some fun with. I'll try to get some polls up, too. It might be a boring month in terms of what's special but I'll try to put up as much content as I can for you all to see. The most important thing is I get some work done.

Thanks for your support, everybody. Here's to a productive October.

Enjoy the weekend. Take care.
