Greetings!
This week I started making event pictures with Ellen for this update. So far I've made the pictures up to the exit of the building with Ellen. Next I need to make pictures of the path to the new location in another part of the city. I'll tell you one interesting moment, when I create pictures of character movement around the city. For example, there are 50 lines of script, during which there is a movement of characters from point A to point B. For this, I need to evenly distribute the positions of pictures of their path through the city, that it would not look like implausible and rapid jumps. So that's a little development insider. Maybe someone will say I'm overthinking this, but it's just one small detail of creating a game out of many.
Next, I continued working on the 3D model of the theater. At this point, I've completed preliminary work on the movie theater lobby. Filled it with details of decoration, furniture, plants and the like. Then I did the main work on the interior of the auditorium. I was left to finish only the seats and some small details. By the way, the work on the 3D model is not moving as fast as I would like. And there is a simple explanation for this, it takes a lot of time to work with the details of the mesh and texturing of the created objects. And if anyone is interested in how it looks like in the editor, here is how the part of the theater lobby looks like in the form of a mesh:
Also this week I worked on changing the beginning of the game. So far, I've created a plan for the event where the MC wakes up in the dorm and gets an eviction message. Basically, the only two facts left from the original event are MC wakes up and gets the message, everything else will be different. And in the end it will be a completely different event. You'll also need to create a few characters for this event. One important and a few for the background.
Thanks for your support!
See you!
