Hi Everyone!
It's been a while since I posted any news here, as the majority of updates happen on the basis on my social media.
Been very busy focused on the demo as well as the game as a whole.
I am excited to share with you that there is a lot of progress on the demo made so far!
My Co-Dev and I are working on it daily and there are so many new additions that I wouldn't even dream of without his help. Let's see a few of those!
UPDATED UI & SETTINGS
GAME SAVE SLOTS
The Co-Dev has introduced the save slots system and refining it. Excited to have such a feature!
I have been trying to keep consistency for the art style in-game and those UI elements and present a unified look.
SCRIPT FOR DEMO COMPLETED
I am thrilled to announce that the writing/ script for the demo has been completed. That contains Protagonist lines, journals, letters, and notes found in the world left by its inhabitants, and others.
The letters left by those who live or lived in this world will be scattered around and for those of you who enjoy exploring and discovering, I hope you gonna like it!
SECRET LORE, HINTS, OVERALL STORY LETTERS!
One of my very old ideas and plans was to introduce the feature of secret letters that serve as a guide of what to "expect" or avoid doing in the game in order to potentially alter your story's ending. Some hints, if you may. Also, I always wanted to give more personality to my foes, and for that, I decided to create special notes left by them in the world that can be revealed when you defeat them! (if you choose to).
This will hopefully result in having a better understanding of what really happened to them and how they dealt with their own personal stories and events throughout the game.
LOOK OUT FOR THOSE:
MORE UPDATES ON UI TUTORIALS AND OTHER WIDGETS
(In-Editor Preview-Work in progress)
VOICE ACTOR FOR MAIN PROTAGONIST
For a long time, I have been on the search for someone to lend their voice to our protagonist.
Recently I got back in contact with one of the VA's who I really liked but was in a situation where I could not afford anyone for a long time. Long story short, We are now in talks with the Actor who is a known one, an incredibly friendly and wonderful person aside from a talented Voice Actor who delivers with passion and charm! While I cannot say more at the moment, I am extremely excited to share any updates with you all soon!
Please consider wishlisting Asthenia while we work on the demo! The support means everything to us, as this is my debut game and a very personal one.
Thank you for reading this update, and for your support, and I wish you guys a Merry Christmas with your loved ones and a Happy New Year!
