Development News 14 - Post-Holidays, LC Version 0.1, Afternoon Interaction Snippets
My new year's resolution would be more breaks so I can work on this VN more.
Lasting Connections (Version 0.1) [Build 1] progress is at 40%
Alright, holidays over, and I've been pumping renders left and right for the next version of LC. The update is going to be on the smaller side this time with the completion of Morning Interaction, which means this scene with Cily and Valysha will have all the dialogue options.
Wrapping up morning interaction with Feily and Vilvie will also be completed as well with that Perspective Update part 2. I'm a little behind on that, but I'll get to it. These scenes with Cily and Valysha takes a LONG time to render, like 3 hours long for each picture. Hope I can afford that new RTX 5090 this year so we can render these stuff faster and have faster updates in general, but we'll do with what we have for now.
Anyway, another change to LC is the version reset. It will simply be called Version 0.1 and intend to have less than 10 versions for each build/day.
Before: Build-1_13, Build-1_14, Build-1_15, ..., Build-1_19, Build-1_20.
Now: Version 0.1, Version 0.2, Version 0.3, ..., Version 0.9, Version 1.0.
So, if for example we get to finish the first day of LC, and hops on to Day 2, we'll reset again to Version 0.1 [Build 2]. And the reason for these version resets instead of working towards Version 1.0 and make it the final version of the game is because I want to keep working on it. The idea for LC is two weeks vacation experience, not weekend experience. And I don't want it to go from version 0.9 to version 0.10, that's no different to build version then.
Something else that I can talk about is snippets for the Afternoon Interaction that will be on the next 0.1 update. Velvet, the MILF who showed up for like a minute in the story, will finally be on the scene again, and I can't wait to get it done.
As to when the update is coming out. Probably going to be the same as last time, close to the end of the month or early next month at the latest, as usual.
And that is about it for the fourteenth development news, I hope you all are doing well. Having a super wonderful day, and starts the ball rolling on that new year's resolution. Thanks for reading all this, and again, have a great day, everyone.
