DEVLOG - CHAPTER 3 PROGRESS (70%)

Hello hello!

It has been roughly 1 month (and a week) since the start of this journey, so first and foremost, THANK YOU all so much for your legendary support!! It has always been a dream of mine to be able to make a living developing games. I'm still working a real life job but I look forward to the day I can fully dedicate myself to this project.

Now it's time for another magical progress update for those whom may concern.

As you may already know, Chapter 3 is going to be fully dedicated to meeting The Witch Doctor in disguise, Juri.

After an interesting "explosion" of fluids coming from our protagonist, I wonder what is gonna be her reaction to it and what kind of spicy event will happen between these two?

With elvish traits and a mysterious background, The Witch might know a lot about the origins of your body (with full-body inspections to make sure).

Immense progress has been made towards Chapter 3, and from what I have implemented so far it is already bigger than the previous chapters.

I have also implemented a whole bunch of new tech stuff that will be further explained on the day of release, please look forwards to it, but a few exemples are:

Added chapter select option to the main menu.

A pletora of exciting new SFX and VFX that will be used from now on, giving me the opportunity to do a whole bunch of fun "classic anime moment" jokes.

Also started making use of line-by-line curated dialog reveal speed, giving more "life" and "weight" to dialog lines, making them feel like they're being spoken slooowly with nuance or GAH! SUPER FAST! (just like Ace Attorney, again, I love that game)

Also started playing around with a "crash out" animation like Ace Attorney for one "breakdown" moment.

Looking at the content made so far, we already have:

Over 1200 lines of code done (+550 being lines of dialog);

Over 250 unique renders done (unique poses, facial expressions, camera angles, etc);

Chapter 3 almost fully written.

All SFX and VFX are already in place;

Music halfway done.

We are still pending:

The main "action" scene, with synced sounds;

The final "bagoosh" ending of the chapter with an interesting cliffhanger (already written);

Re-playing, proof-reading, testing android, debugging and polishing like 10 times over and over (like I usually do, it usually means more writing and rendering new stuff).

I absolutely loved the way Juri came to life in this chapter. Please look forward to meeting her!

Ps. I just posted a brand new reward to any tier supporter.

Pps. Here is a picture of a Toucan, native to my land (you may recall Southbird from One Piece)
