Devlog: Starting Chapter 4 + Intro Sean & Takuma
Added 2023-08-06 19:11:05 +0000 UTCWith the release of the early access of chapter 3, work on the new chapter has officially begun. Chapter 4 is going to see extensions to the existing rooms for lots more activities. You can expect a lot of sweating in these. There is also going to be another wave of characters to be introduced.
The duo of Sean and Takuma in the added images only made a brief appearance at the end of chapter 3, so whether you have gone through the early access or not, here is a closer look at their full bodies.
On a technical side I've now gotten the hair of the first characters updated to the new hair system in Blender. I've found a way to directly convert it, making it look the same as before with only a few differences in hair thickness. They have also gotten an update of their facial rig which should improve their expressions in the future.
Lastly, I've started playing around with adding player choices to Arena of Thebes. I'll be showing of more concrete previews further down the line. Hopefully there should be a tech demo alongside the release of chapter 4.
To keep you updated on all the progress, I plan on giving weekly (-ish?) devlogs all throughout from now on, depending on how much I get done during a week. So you'll hear more from me then.
