Progress update 5-2-2022
TLDR;
◙ New library environment
◙ Jennevive + Ben scene 4 status
◙ Game status
◙ Jennevive + Ben scene 2
◙ New outfit, and way to progress time.
Glazing over the long gap since I had posted about the progress of the game, I will get right in to things.
I put together a new environment based off the layout of the library in the game. In the past the library was just a vignette, with essentially only two wall and a floor. This new environment gives more ways to place the camera, and was ultimately necessary for Jennevive's scene with Ben as imagined. This also means that I will be going back and re-rendering the scenes that had occurred previously there.
Since the creation of this environment (early last month), I have further revised Jennevive's scene with Ben. The original iteration even in it's incomplete form, I found to be less than satisfactory. I am now perhaps half way through both making and rendering this scene at this time. The scenes have been averaging 2 1/2 - 3 hours to render due to the new environment. And about 2 hours to simulate each clothing article depending on how close the figures are to each other or parts of the environment.
As for releasing an update of the game with Jennevive + Marie and Marie's night scene, it felt kind of empty to me. So in that regard I am waiting until Jennevive + Ben scene 4 is done in it's totality.
Some time has been spent on making a new outfit for Marie + Alexina. I don't readily have a preview for this as a result of it still being a work in progress texture wise. This outfit isn't being made from bought assets, so it is not something you will see elsewhere. It's use however is as a sort of exercise wear for the two to wear. As such you will be able to pass the morning time period exercising with Alexina, given that you meet certain conditions.
Along the lines of the last statement though, I very much have in mind that players need more ways to pass the morning time period. This due to the game opening up as far as routing goes during the early portion of the game. The current thinking is that you will be encouraged to go through four scenes with each council member, before then being encouraged to focus on only one.
Finally in the last month I lost about a week of work due to a hardware issue which I have since resolved. Though I put off further testing of hardware to ensure it's fully working capacity in favor of continued progress.
