Weekly progress report
Hello guys! This week I got a lot of things done, but the report will look kind of short, so let's start and see if that's true.
As always we start with the 2D side of things, we got 2 generic soldier guys that will show up in v0.3, they will be the first actual english speaking characters that apear in the story (the game is in english but the characters are speaking spanish) not counting Luna who apears in pictures but she won't appear until the end of v0.3. Then I got the magic stuff saleswoman comisioned, for the last poll the options that were tied on the first place was Sienna (from NBNL) and a new character that was some sort of mistic, but judging at the store and the script it felt too mundane to have some sort of witch lady and it felt more and more like an atique shop- pawn shop then I started looking for clothing inspiration and ended with a craftman looking apron, which is closer to Sienna's original clothing which is an actual apron.
Mustache aside these guys are kind of pallet swaps! I felt like it was some sort of dumb joke that I could add to the game just because. Proably their names would be something like John smith and Smith Johnes.
Now for the game side of things! Monday morning, I finished the draft for the library and ending of the main story for v0.2 and in the afternoon I went to the national library to take refference photos of the place. During the week I got my hands into work by making the 6 new maps for the library which is a lot of maps comparing it to the mall that's 3. But having the refferences and not having to think about what new store this would be made everything go really fast. I'm mising some decoration, but probably next week I'll have all the maps finished (not counting the pictures and images that will go over some textures. Stuff like paintings and signs)
Since yesterday I decided to add the main story to the library, while adding the new story bits I have been taking a second look at the main story and adding stuff like player choice for example.
That being said, I'm surprised that Catalina ended up being a lot like Kate in the original plan for Lust Vesel. Both ended up with some plot device that give them powers and slightly change their personalities which is the new part that ended up more like a coincidece, because the apearance and being very likeable (at least for every character) were by design.
