Sneak Peek #2 (0.03a)

Added 2023-10-23 17:59:30 +0000 UTC

Boo!

Hey everyone! Got some news about the development and some sneak peeks to go along with it!

This update is taking a little longer than I was expecting at first, which is to be expected as this is my first project and I can't quite judge how long certain scenes will take to make. Some things which seem easy can be a little challenging to make, while others that should be harder, end up being easy and quick to make, so yeah.

For example, I basically spent the first month after releasing the 0.02a just doing the coding for the event logic and reworking the office hud to fit in with this new system and to accommodate some new actions that'll be available. And I thought this was going to be a quick process. But boy was I wrong…

Anyway… The events, which are the main focus of the updates to come, are still being developed, but I can share how far along progress has been going.

So far, I have:

523 new images
Around 9000 new words of dialogue (And many more of coding)
5 Unique Custom Animations (many with different angles)

And of course, more to come…

What's left?

I have already done 90% of the 'bigger events', and now, all that's left is to do 2 smaller events, which should be quick to make, (1 week-ish for these) and finally, a somewhat bigger event, which is the 'exam event', which should take another week.

So, 2 weeks, give or take, to have everything ready before polishing. (Keep in mind, that I have learned that I'm terrible at predicting when things will be ready, so take that with a grain of salt.)

It goes without saying that this update will truly show what the game is all about, and I'm trying to make it the best version possible, before showing to all of you, so a lot of polishing is going into this to make it the best I can make. I hope the wait will be worth it, and I'll try to make future updates not take as long, thanks for your patience!

Oh, and the first image of today, is not a sneak peek, just some halloween themed picture I was making for fun. I'll post the rest of them later, next week probably, along with a dev diary of sorts!
