Development News 17 - Version 0.1 Final, New Characters introduction, More Character Cards, New Deep-Sea Union Tier
I woke up, and found a hole in my pocket.
Lasting Connections (Version 0.1-Final) progress is at 95%
Okay, so, BOOM! Version 0.1-BETA is out about a week ago, and I'm already doing the last dozen or so renders for the final 0.1 version. No release date, it'll just pop out when it's ready. So, be on the lookout for it cause it's about to be goofy.
This scene is a blast to make but VERY heavy on my computer, which is why it's taking so long with each render taking more than 5 hours to finish, can possibly go to eight because of the lighting I used for it, but it's good enough for a prelude. Will update them some day when I have better computer, promise.
In the other half of the prelude, which is coming with the version 0.1-final, is that there will be 3 new characters to be introduced for future interaction. Very short and brief, and you might ask, is there a point in introducing them now? Well, yes. It's fun, and it's good knowing that you and the few characters you interact with are not the only one that exist in the world. Plus, you might interact with these people too someday. So, it's more than just, "Better than nothing," kind of thing, you know.
New membership tier, Deep-Sea Union!
If you want to get involved in LC a bit more. I got a cool idea where you can submit an idea of a scene which later on can be implemented in the game. There's a process to this, so I don't just approve anything, and this is not a commission either.
Okay, so here's the gist of it. It all starts with a Google form that you can submit to me, and you will have access to the post containing these form when you joined the Union. Then you can make your idea and send it via the form. After that, I will take your submission for review and if all is good and dandy, I'll just get right on it. If there are multiple submissions, I will host a voting poll where the winning idea is to be implemented to LC in upcoming updates.
There's more information on its own dedicated page. Join the Union if you're interested.
Next is Character Cards!
I've made one a while ago for Sonia, and it contains a lot of information about her. I've updated it and added another, with more coming soon. You can view them in ImpAntique3D's Discord Server down at the bottom called model-profiles.
Here is what the character card looks like:
Very cool thing in my honest and slightly biased opinion. You get to know all sorts of things about these characters you've been seeing, even background and relationship status, and the CONNECTIONS that they build 💪.
And that's about it for the seventeenth development news of LC. Thank you so much for reading all that, and for all the support. I'll get back with you soon, and have a great day, everyone!
