Showing off the house/hub area.
I have made a preview video for you, folks, but sadly Patreon doesn't allow videos for 18+ devs. So instead I will share it in the patron section of my Discord. In this video Susette gives a tour through the house. It shows some of her basic animations and includes some spell casting at the very end.
Okay, about the house:It turned out bigger than expected. Originally I was thinking about a small hut for her. Oh, well.
Details can still be subject to change.
The windows are currently just blank white. I plan do add some parallax scrolling later, but I need to create some background scenery first, which I will do when working on the first level. So those windows are currently on hold.
Later, there will be objects that Susette can interact with. All and foremost: The closet.I can see making more things interactable, depending on what I wanna implement. The bed? The bathtube? And what's that strange rune on the wall? Susette will definitely be able to interact with that!
As said, the house will take the role of an hub area for the player: Buy new clothes, equip them, learn new spells, interact with NPC's, and so on.
What's next?I will start drawing and designing a new important side character; I had her design in mind for years. I will show her to you once I finished drawing her.In contrast to Potion Shop Schwesterherz, this side character is not active in the scene, like Linda was. The focus in my new game is entirely on Susette. I can see her interacting with Susette though, for a scene or two, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, stay tuned!
You will hear from me soon.
