Weekly News (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

Time flies while working and here we meet again to discuss our development news of the last week.

Now we have a really busy time, after all, the first release of the new game requires maximum dedication from us. We have to take into account a lot of things, don't forget anything, finalize what has been postponed, test all the mechanics and much more. In short, there is a huge amount of work to be done. But it's nothing new for us, that's why we are concentrated on our goal 💪

This past week we've worked on building the location where all the main action will take place. We still have to adjust the lighting and make a number of other tweaks to make everything look nice and natural.

We also kept working on the tutorial that was written earlier, the mechanics of hints are already created, now we need to add the final design and the tutorial will be ready! For now this is a simple version of the tutorial, in the future we plan to expand it and make it even more illustrative.

We were working on the character emotion sprites, which should correlate not only to the storyline, but also to the game mechanics. The character's emotions will tell the player whether he's doing everything right or not.

Several secondary characters have been created and described, and soon we will begin the visual concepts. These characters probably won't appear in the first build, but we're already working on them, trying to make them vivid and interesting. Each character is unique, with its own personality and story for you to discover 😊

The week also included a lot of work on various in-game mechanics, in particular we dealt with the localization in dialogues, which had some problems due to the new dialog engine.

We also drew a whole ton of little props! They look bright and pretty. Soon we'll start adding them to the game instead of draft art.

And of course the work on the animation of the big final scene continues. We've already finished the second part and started working on the third part out of four. And they look really cool!

There's still a lot of work to do, but we're going full steam ahead! The announcement of the new game is getting closer and so is the first build 😁

We wish you a great week, guys! And don't forget to vote in our sexy cocktail theme poll!
