Weekly News (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

We're a little late with our weekly news, because we're totally immersed in work on our new game 💪

Over the past week we've made significant progress on (non)trivial. Last time we wrote that we finished the concept design of the UI and now we were busy building the UI on the game engine. Now we're assembling the main menu and adding the splash screens. It's turning out very nice! We've attached one of the menu concepts to this post. The final version may look a little different in the game itself, but the basics won't change.

Besides that, a lot of work was put into designing a very important thing — the main character's journal, where all the information required for the story progression will be recorded. It’s a complex in-game element, so it’s very important to create it in such a way that it would be easy to use and fits everything that is needed. It should be simple and intuitive, and at the same time contain many small elements that will allow the player to form a complete picture of what's going on. The basis has already been outlined, but we still have a lot of work to do.

A lot of work has also been done on textual concepts. Descriptions of all the main characters that you will meet in the first build of the game and all the main locations that will be there are ready. All the characters are given names and they all are speaking in their own way, I wonder if you’ll notice it 😋 And a lot of details are described, from objects to daily activities of the characters. And also we collected and handled materials about the setting time of the story, which will further help in writing the script so that everything takes place in a believable way.

Now we're in the process of creating the (non)trivial Intro. The script for the Intro is ready and the storyboard for it was made today. After that, we'll get to work on character concepts and visual location concepts.

We are also working on Tame It Too! prototype. As you may remember, the upcoming update will include the Fairy, and besides the usual scenes and conversations with her, we have a hot scene featuring her. We are in the process of finishing the animations for that scene. It looks really cool and we can't wait to show you already! 😍

Happy Spring season everyone! Have a great mood and a great productive week!
