Status Update #18

Hello, everyone!


This week we've been focusing on coding and SFX. A fresh batch of renders was polished and post-processed, which meant they needed to be prepared for their final resting place. The cold, dark archives of Summer Heat.

Aside from coding and SFX, we've also been working on some script and dialogue enhancements. There were some areas where Finnish grammar has caused some proper destruction of the English language. Sometimes it's probably quite offensive to any grammar police out there, and those are the parts we try to shield your eyes from. We're not native speakers after all, but we try our best to make the dialogue flow as naturally as we can.

This weekend we'll continue working on a bigger scene. It's a bit messy, but we know how to make it work with repeating angles and renders. This approach doesn't have many downsides since the branches are separate, except that it might look a bit confusing in the folders. But that doesn't really matter since the renders are not meant to be viewed from there anyway.


Angles & thoughts
Back in 0.1 we started the game with all the renders in first person POV, and from there we have progressed into a mix of pretty much all angles. For 0.7 we've kept the hybrid approach with a little bit of everything. We've been switching the angles up when necessary or when focusing on something, like some totally necessary shots from behind.

For example, Sophie in this render. Unfortunately she's in the blur, but she's still important for the shot. For reasons.

Oh, then there's the good miracle of save-scumming.



She's top three for sure, but I don't recall such a thing, though it has been a long time since I last played it. Her scenes seemed to be going on just fine.

It's been some time.
Options elections at the end of 0.6(Eve) updates close if you are naughty with Mia!

sooo
the last time i played was around 0.3 update

eeeerm
dafuq is going on?
playing the erand boy for miller and hill?
what is this ? correction camp?
forced to go with miller all the time - to the strip club too? really?
whats the point?
miller needs a high five - with a brick - in the face imo
if he wants a son to teach and care, he should make his own
and this idiot of "best-bro" ..
some sweet girls and nice renders alone doesnt make a good game ...

The gameplay involves trying to get one of the LI's to help identify MC's skin cancer before it's too late. If MC keeps shagging strip club whores or ember girls, then you get the melanoma bad ending.

Ikes you two. Also Mc is not forced to got there. He could have refuse. But i guess the devs could have wrote that the Mc go to bed early and nothing happen and the game is boring i guess. Anyway Mike and Miller are fine you drama queens you.

In-game reason, unknown at the moment. Gameplay reason, early sex scenes in the game.
Well, MC could have said that he didn't want to go and that' that, miller wouldn't have cuffed him and abducted him lol.

But yes it's a story thing if it's what you mean, mc "choice" and not the player one, he is not a blank self insert slate and the devs want to make the story that they want to make. Mc has his own personality and sometimes make choices the players have no say about it.

Anyway the whole stripclub probably gonna have some importance to the story, maybe a central point even. So if you don't like it (and the characters) the game is probably not for you ? Just a thought.

edit: i quoted the wrong message i was responding to Boehser Onkel.
