Dev Log : More is Better, Yeah?

I’ve had a bit of development dilemma over the last few weeks (an argument could be made that it’s been over the last couple of months!!)

As you know – my plan all along had been to release the free Chapter 1 and then have Chapter 2 ready to go for those who wanted more and who wanted to support the future development of Behind The Curtain on day 1.

A couple of  months ago I looked at what was still needed for inclusion in Chapter 2 and thought it was still a million miles away. So I made a strategic decision to split a few scenes off Chapter 2 and move them to Chapter 3 instead. It makes sense. Chapter 2 now finishes at a more natural place and it means I can get Chapter 2 wrapped sooner.

But after doing this – there were a still a couple of scenes I’d pushed to Chapter 3 that ideally could find a home in Chapter 2. Keeping up?

So I’ve now strategically moved those scenes back into Chapter 2 and started beavering away on them. Don’t worry – I should still get them completed in time for the In-My-Own-Head deadline for getting things done and getting BtC released. They’ll just be a little more meat on the bones in Chapter 2 now.

One of those scenes is a flashback about how two of the games main characters met. You can see an image from the flashback at the top of this post.

The funny thing about this scene is that not everybody might get it.

There’s an early scene in Chapter 2 that involves a little free roam about a characters house and the flashback occurs when a certain action is triggered. This is a spoiler free-zone .. so don’t ask!

It’s basically a character and world building scene. Not massively important to the overall plot – but will help in fleshing out a couple of the character oh, and maybe grants an achievement or two.

So completionists? I hear you!

Just to finish off the final returning-home scene done now .....
