Hello friends! 💜
Welcome back to Nova's Diary (or just welcome if you are new around here).
If you thought that after LudoNarraCon we would have been slacking, you would actually be correct, although for just a couple of days. After that we resumed work as usual, and we have lots of stuff to show you.
FUN STUFF: NEW DIALOGUES
As more content is added into the game, naturally the demand for new dialogues rises (and that's where I come in, as the snarky-totally-unfunny-yet-somehow-competent Narrative Designer I am). On top of writing lines for the new quests and interactions that Nova will find in Venice, if you've been following us on our socials we've been testing a new typewriting effect for delivering lines in a more natural and easygoing way.
PRETTY STUFF: NEW VIBES
Vibeshave once again been one of the main focuses of our production; a dedicated group of people (*cough* half the team *cough*) is making sure they come out as polished and appealing as possible. In fact, this last month has seen a lot of different tests for vibe trails, their soundtrack and LOTS of visual effects.
PRETTY STUFF #2: NEW ART
Some of our artists have worked very hard to create assets and visuals for the new missions that will take place in the game: without going too much on spoiler territory, it means that Venice will feature mini-puzzles, spots for Nova to eat their ice cream in, and a night time mission!
I wonder what's this...
So, what's today's flavour? Pasta?
3D STUFF(?): MODELS & TEXTURES
In the meantime, our 3D artists have focused on making new buildings to fill the map with. One example are the very imposing and very ominous Atlas Towers, that the corporation uses both as antennas and a power projection (i know, veeery evil). We also added some more bell towers to fill the skies of Venice and we continued working on the porticoes we talked about in a previous devlog.
Yes I know it's only a concept, cue some dark music and let imagination do the rest
And that sums it all. Thank you for tuning in. See you next month!
PSYCH!
We actually have one more announcement to make. We've been invited to a couple of events that will take place in June. We can't really tell names yet, but we assure you that they're definitely going to blasts! So as always, make sure to follow us on our social media so you won't miss it!
Oh and yes, in these events there's going to be another announcement...One muuuch more exciting
Stay tuned! 😏
