Work continues this week with both sides of the main story quest (MSQ) advancing further. The player is now able to tackle the second lesson at the Archives, and finally learn about the Gallery.
Let's take a quick look at how these sides have progressed.
After finishing lesson 1, and removing the truth from your sleeping quarters, the Player may finally sleep and advance the story. Sometimes, they'll be haunted at night...
When visiting the Archives in the next story day, the player is met with their first Influencing task. They are asked to influence a normal person from the 'Lost and Found' to show off their skills.
This test doesn't go according to plan, and the player is once again asked to return the next day for their final lesson...
The player may now choose to sleep, and continue to the next day for lesson 3!
On the Truth Seeking side, the introduction to the Gallery has finally been finished. Here, the player will learn about a plan to satisfy 'Soul Seeking Pigment', to allow Zulzin's influence to travel through time.
After getting your debriefing, from here on out, the Truth Seeking side waits for you to present 1 of 5 mementos to the Gallery to advance it. Don't let them down, Influential One!
Development is proceeding smoothly, and next week will be near the end of the narrative. Then the real fun begins with gameplay design and... secrets. :)
On to what we did this week:
Archives Lesson 2 complete
After advancing the story day, the player may now take part in lesson 2!
Gallery introduction
Added the introduction for The Gallery, and the start of your truth seeking quest.
Bug fixed/tested some broken editors
Fixed an issue where windows was silently killing one of our custom editors in the background.
"A meeting is about to begin, and we have our honored guest..."
"The artist of the Gallery has zero confidence... is that him hiding from introductions?"
