0.4 Development Update 14

Hey folks!

Who knew that committing to a “three personalities” feature when having trouble with writing scenes was a bad idea? Well, I did, and still went with it. Anyway, v0.4.4 is in alpha 1. About 1200 new lines of dialogue, almost a hundred renders, 8 animated loops, all for a single scene. Additional minor 20-30 line events are coming tomorrow for alpha 2, but the update was mainly about the android, and it’s done now.

Must say that I am still proud of it, sorta. Some of the most technically complex animations I’ve ever done. A bit of a shame that it’s just a side thing, and I do believe that some folks would be put off by the android’s appearance, but still. At the very least I will be able to reuse some of the techniques in upcoming animations, too.

Next, I’m finishing alpha 2, doing a CG set I was supposed to do last week, taking a few days off, and back to work onThursday. v0.4.5 will be all about fixing long-standing issues, adding minor events and one or two repeatables. Definitely one for Cait, and another one for Naomi, probably.

Have some stills from the last update in lieu of previews, don’t really have anything new to show yet:

And see you soon.
