Happy New Year - We made it 25% to the next century.
The last month was filled with making graphics for the dialog poses and refining them where necessary. Alongside that we also refined our tools for previewing stuff. So have a gif:
The UI Overhaul is done and only needs a good long test.
So let's get to the really cool news. We've got two interns for reinforcement.
One of them helps with the character art, most importantly the cape for the Antagonist and one very big surprise was how much work it is to put the cape over the shoulders. We hoped that a "one size fits all"-approach would be fine but in the end... no. Not so much. Additionally he also gave our current art work a nice reality check about missing details like nostrils and small shadows under the eyebrows.
Our second intern comes from the modding scene and there is no greater gift for a modder than having access to the source. We thought that it easily takes a month of our non-existent development time to get modding support working and he kinda made a proof of concept in like two days to get all game data moddable. Like all... 2400 files.
A word of caution though: We need to be very careful with modding support, as it is a nice feature. But right now we are on a really promising pace to give you all something really cool to play with, but we still have to find out what moddability we can deliver at the end. (And if everything fails, I know that you will just bepInEx your way into the game and do whatever you want).
Alright - That's our progress and let's see what we manage to do this year.
