DevLog #8: What's that? Dialogue portraits are coming?
Hello everyone!
A lot of little things have been happening, as well as some big things. Unfortunately, I’m unable to talk about some of them just yet, and others are rather too boring to dare to write here (admin, I’m looking at you).
I’ve heard some music, I’ve seen some art, and the narrative is getting some polish. I’ll share what I can in this devlog, while I hold my tongue with exciting news I’m eager to share.
[h2]Major Update Two is coming very soon.[/h2]
“But you keep saying that.” I hear you. I do. I feel a lot of anxiety that the delivery date has been extended and extended, and I haven’t hit the deadlines I promised. All I can say is that I’m really sorry, I love the support I’ve received and I am more than appreciative of people’s patience and understanding. Thank you
I have hit the first milestone for Screenwest, which means I can focus solely on Chapter Two. Woo!
Now, technically, I could release a version of Chapter Two in about 2 weeks, however, this would be barebones and similar to what Chapter One was when I first released it on Feb 23. But since Chapter One has received a few updates, I feel this has also upped the standards a little more. Even though we’re technically still in Early Access, I want to make sure that the level of quality aims to be at a point that isn’t vastly less than Chapter One’s current state.
In saying that, I will admit that the wolf-shifting investigation scenes will still be in a simpler form as this is a mechanic that I want to test out with you all. I want to see what you think about the concept before fully committing to it.
[h3]Here are some things to expect from Major Update 2 [/h3]
- Chapter Two (obviously)
- Dialogue Portraits and an updated dialogue box
- Additional Volume Settings - Main, Music, SFX
- Updated Cursor
- and more...
[h2]Upcoming Marketing Material[/h2]
Currently, we’re working on some new official marketing material. I had been trialling a few different types since I started, but a lot of this was me learning, tweaking and trying something new. However, I’ve now brought someone onto the project who is making something super special! Check out the progress of the concepts. I cannot wait to see the final result! Big thanks to Izzy Huizen Art!
[h2]Events Coming Up[/h2]
This year, I’ll be attending Pixel Expo again. I’m excited to show the locals the progress of the game since last year. This is happening in late September when chapter two and (hopefully) chapter three will be out in Early Access!
I will also be attending another event later this year, which I will officially announce soon. This one I’m super excited for! Now, I’ve just gotta work out the logistics.
