Early Access 0.1555.0: "Zombie" Storyline Update (Nearly... there...)
Added 2021-09-10 21:10:26 +0000 UTCHey again, cakes!
I wanted to get ahead of tomorrow's public release by giving you folks something new. Owing to all the illness and stuff, it really isn't much I'm sorry to say; it surprised me just how much that thing set me back... but we do have a couple treats for you ^^;
Firstly, I made some progress on the final scene for the Zombie storyline's ethical path. I'm not super pleased with the results so far and I still need to work out the final bits of dialogue so I can actually end the thing. Overall, I reckon these final scenes will be a lot nicer when the planned art assets are made to back them up.
And speaking of art, I do have some positive news: As you might have sussed from the header image, my artist has recovered from covid well enough to start drawing for me again! He's going to be taking it easy of course, but he did manage to finish the CG assets for the Zombie storyline's rehearsal scene, so that replaces the sketches from last time~
And that's sadly all for now. However, stay tuned this weekend. Besides the public update for everyone else I'll have a little something that may interest you cakes to make up for the lack of content recently...
Until then!

Comments
Yes, the new CG is a big, complex and expensive thing that was impractical to do all at once. I very much wanted to get just the basic parts done first and then add more to it in the coming months along with some script edits here and there, so it'll be more representative of the scene in future updates~

2021-09-21 08:54:30 +0000 UTCHm, not much to say at this point, though it seems to be coming along well! I will say, though, that the new CG doesn't really match what's being described. Do you plan on fixing that, or is it just going to have to be like that?
