Dev Update #252


I'm done with posing Scene 28.

I have yet to finish rendering it. Pc Chan will take care of it in the coming nights. I have started writing scene 29 but haven't progressed much on that front. I barely collected my notes and drafted a plan of the scene. I wrote about 300 real words of a first draft so far, which isn't really impressive. I dropped that task momentarily to work on something else: the Steam store page.

Steam, and the teaser.

I received the teaser! And in my opinion, it's amazing. The storytelling is great, the music is on point, and the ambiance is perfect. I like it.

As a consequence, I pushed on the Steam page and tried to complete it in order to submit the whole thing to Steam today. I failed, however. I finally had to rerender my title screen with a slightly different angle to make room for the logo. All the capsules are now ready, all the texts have been written and all questionnaires have been answered. The store page is essentially ready.

And I thought that the build was ready too when I realized that I had to do something about the achievements. A bit of code, and ... about a hundred different icons to produce. I can probably publish the game without the achievements but I'm afraid that it might cause some issues on the build I will submit to Steam. So I want to deal with it once and for all now. But this brings a lot of questions. As a part of the content will be reworked, the achievements may change (most likely in names and titles only) and I don't know how tolerant Steam is to that kind of changes.

There is an easy solution to that issue. I can neutralize all the achievements that are susceptible to change and reintroduce them as I rework the content. That means no more achievements from Day 2 to 5.

I don't know. I have to think about it during the weekend and make a decision before I start working on it on Monday.

The quick sum up :

  • Day 6 Part 5 will contain 2 new scenes: scenes 28 and 29.
  • Day 6 Part 5 will contain 1 reworked scene: Day 2, scene 2.
  • Day 6 scene 28 has been written, posed, and is mostly rendered.
  • 5811 words of new content so far.
  • 177 shots are planned, 177 are posed, and 125 are rendered.
  • I'm currently working on the achievements.

You can follow my progress on this Trello board.
