Hey everyone! Good to see you again.
Fixing the issues I had with the PC took a bit longer then I expected but at the end of the day, I knew everything was gonna end up okay and I'll continue just fine, and that's all that matters. The parts come and go, it's to be expected.
Sorry for not posting anything for a while again. I really wished to post something with substance. Some progress pictures and good news. That's why I quietly continued to work and waited a bit.I mostly worked on writing, and that will continue for at least a week more. I want to look at how the scenes feel first this time so I can fit the paintings better, as opposed to the opposite - which is what I did until this update.
The dialogues will be much better then anything until now (I think I said this already before ) and I realized just how much was left out in this department, especially in the early parts. I'm happy to still learn, even if it's at a later date. As for something more specific - I took a new approach to this part of the game, making it a sort of balancing act of relationships which will force you (the greatest player of all video games) to juggle and go out and interact with the wider game in a "natural" way. This might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I want to do something that's different and play around and have fun with it, even if it might not be the best possible solution. I put a lot of thought into it and as of now, I personally think it plays out nicely in the prototype - but of course, I'm biased, and the real test will be you. There is also the question of when I'll be happy and decide to cut and ship the update.. For now, I'm still not sure. I will probably leave some parts out and put out 2 parts for this storyline, like for Helena. Otherwise it would end up taking half a year for this whole part of the game. I still can't say, sorry, but uploading all in one go will take too long to do. I hope you understand what I mean. There will be plenty to play and see in any case!As for the closeup shot of Alice in the pictures- I know it's a bit distorted, that's on purpose. It will be goon the correct context :)
Thank you to everyone that stuck with me still. I know I'm not owed anything and that's why I appreciate every type of support I got. I saw some of you helping extra this month and that really did help, it sounds cliché and all but it's true. To some it doesn't seem much but to me it's a lot. So I know I'm blessed for the kindness I get.
I'll post again soon with other news, so see you then, Tjop!
