DD #45 Containment Breaches Further
Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary.
This week's main focus is on extending the story content of the side quest known as the containment breach. I will try to make this diary spoiler-free.
Two gates previously locked in the quarantine sector of Site Demeter are now unlockable. Some toy cars were added as a bonus.
After getting through those two gates with the help of our hacking skills and...the toy cars, we will finally meet the director of Site Demeter. A 40-second action cutscene will play and a Boss fight will start.
The cutscene itself may contain spoilers.
So, I will just post one frame of it here.
It's rendered into 1920*1080.
However, the RMXP engine cannot handle that without losing some compatibilities to old machines that I still don't want to drop support. Thus, the game will use a 640*480 version of the cutscene.
Let me know if anyone wants the original size version of this cutscene.
I may decide to post it somewhere else later.
After that, we are going to see the part of the unethical experiment of this facility.
I do not enjoy making such content.
But, there are villains driven by their dark desires, committing atrocities in this world.
Things will be even darker when we find out how they become villains in the first place.
That's for this week.
The game will be released into early access on her birthday.
That's next week.
I will put an additional dairy by then, to provide more details.
Here are some plans for now:
1, The public beta that's known as the demo will continue updating till the main story in Queensmouth comes to an end. Previously, I planned to finish this part by the release date of early access. However, I got delayed while also trying to add some additional unscheduled content here and there all the way in the last few months. But, anyway, I am just not satisfied to leave the public beta in such a state.
Meanwhile, I can't delay the early access release date as the date itself means a lot even to the in-game story.
As a result, the public beta period will extend even after the game is released into early access.
Thus, the purchase of the game will not be necessary for a while longer.
2, However, in order to thank everyone who wishlisted or followed this game, the game will release into early access with a discount and a price that will be the lowest historical price of all times for the first week.
3, From there, the price will slowly increase as more content gets added to the game. The first price increase will likely take place when the main story in Queensmouth is done. But, honestly, I can't predict when that will happen. There are a lot more contents I want to add.
Today's changelog:
#########Content################
[Containment Breach]
The story continues.
The second gate in the quarantine sector can be unlocked.
Added a 40-second cutscene. (It can be skipped by clicking ESC or the right mouse button.)
Added a Boss fight.
#########System#####################
the "counter-attack" tag in the code is now English. (Previously it was in Chinese. Thus, it may cause some unknown issues in some systems.)
