Wednesday Update: Chapter 2
Added 2020-07-01 14:00:36 +0000 UTCHey everybody. Here's a preview image of a scene from Chapter 2, along with a status update.
This week I've been working hard on getting as much as possible rendered, while also playing through the new scenes and getting everything implemented in the game. I've finished all the animations, though I'm still waiting on the computer to render everything. It's getting pretty close.
Right now my plans are to release the chapter to my Patrons on July 15. Two weeks later (July 29th), I'll release the chapter to everybody else.
Chapter 2 Checklist
1. Write 15 scenes - 100%
2. Write new locations - 90% (Java Lava and the Basement are done right now. I'm working on finishing up Skyhill Cafe, which is the cafe at the school.)
3. Render 124 images - 97%
4. Render 5 animations - 50%
5. Implement Knowledge Stats - 100%
6. Implement Grading System - 100%
7. Add Social Studies MInigame - 20%
8. Draw Town Map - 20%
I've decided that since it's going to take me a while to draw the town map, i'm going to add a screen to the game that will serve as the map for a while, instead of the current temporary menu. The screen will show an image of each location the player can go to, will display the day and time, and will show if there is an event at any of the locations. I'm going to try to get this implemented for Chapter 2, so long as I have time before the 15th.
Over the next week I plan to finish rendering all the animations and images, finish all the locations, and finish the social studies minigame. Hopefully I will also have time to implement the temporary town map.
I can't wait for you all to be able to play through the new stuff. As always, thank you for your support, and I'll talk to you again soon.
