Join our Discord to get updates as early as Friday!
Heyo, Youko here and it's time for the weekly update!
Now that things are starting to settle down again, we're resuming with your normally scheduled update! This week we're looking at a mix of first game and second game updates.
For context to newcomers, the first game is the currently released game with Episodes 1 and 2, while the second game will have both Episodes 3 and 4.
For the first game, we're officially working to include a female player option for Junius and partial voice acting. Since voice acting gets expensive very quickly, we're focusing on battle voices and gameplay voices. We're still balancing how many lines we should include so things don't get too obnoxious. Thank you TTS for helping us test things out first. 🙏
In terms of female Junius, we're trying to streamline the process of female equivalent CGs so our primary artist, Tooaya can focus on the second game. We're testing a process where another artist completes the sketch, Jason/Helrouis completes the coloring and linking, and finally, Tooaya puts the finishing touches so they fit with the rest of the game. Hopefully, this way we can keep up the momentum while still providing a proper F!Junius experience. to help speed things up.
Oh, since we have officially switched to paid, we can actually have trading cards and everything that comes with them! There is one very special card...
Now, onto the second game updates!
Progress on side quests, Lapis development screen, and asset creation continues. Our background artist, Tobby is doing god's work, but no sneak preview on that until the end of the month. Due to all the minor detours we had to take, progress on the side quests is a bit behind, but I'm sure you'll agree that doing a good job is far preferable to a rushed one. A few things had to get shuffled around due to some gameplay concerns, but it should all be juicy content worth waiting for!
That's it for this week! Thank you for supporting the game~ 🥰
P.S. There will also be a patch within the next few days fixing a few bugs and improving every ship's movement.
