Weekly progress report

Hello guys this week we have a slower week than last time, but that doesn't mean it's a slow week. Of course NBNL is now available for all our patrons (here) and I've been working a lot with TCoR.

So as always let's start with the 2D stuff for TCoR, this week I comisioned the first NPC of this last leg for the game, it should be ready soon so the start of the game should look more interesting while talking. Now, last week I was talking to you about the cover and main menu screen and I have an idea for the cover, at least for the distribution of elements on it that I posted on the discord considering it's AI I don't want to post it here to avoid confusion but it helps me explain better and it leaves space for future girls, now for the main menu I have the idea but I need the details. The idea is to have some sort of room that gets filled with stuff as the story progresses, probably some meeting room and as you progress there are more stuff from differnt characters laying around in that room or maybe even the characters, but I need to think about what room will it be and if it's relevant for the story. In any case since I'm going to be meeting a lot of friends today I'm forcing them into being my focus group!

For the 3D/Game stuff I've been doing a lot these days, on the obvious side I managed to get all the new sprites into the game and started adding them into pre existing conversations. Speaking about conversations, the test subjects who played last time told me that the begining of the game was too pasive, so you as a player get more choices while speaking with Nicole at the start and with Sofia too because day 1 was really go there talk, go back, talk, repeat. I've been fixing the camera for cutscenes, but I feel like I need more practice to make better cutscenes, by that I mean that in the technicall sense I know how everything works but I need more experience to get a beter results in the artistic sense. I'll be improving.

For NBNL, it seems like we didn't have much bugs or at least people didn't report much for now I'm ignroing the game a bit since I was fully focused for 2-3 weeks and I want a break so unless we got bugs or any kind of error I'm only worrying about the 2D Nicole.

I think from the next week onwards I might start making a lot of polls about smaller things because I need to know what you preffer. I can ask my friends or chat gpt all I want but you are the ones that like my work so I want to know your opinion about the details too!

I hope you have a nice day!
