Status Update - Episode 5.2

Hi!

Another week of our work has passed, so it’s time for a short summary.

We’re still working on expanding the bar storyline. There are many things we want to focus on here, mostly in episodes 5.2 and 6.0 (smaller elements will come later). I can’t spoil anything yet, but there will be some nice references to other games. We’re also adding things you’ve been asking for for a long time, as well as expanding the swingers part of the bar, which won’t be a big feature more like side scenes that aren’t strongly connected to the main story, but they will be canon. We think it will take at least 2–3 more weeks to prepare the scripts and all the groundwork, and then much longer to create all the renders and animations, but I’m sure it will be worth it.

That's on the technical side. On the artistic side, we’re currently working on a new scene with Jake, which will give another puzzle to our story. The scene itself is quite large, and it will probably take around 3 weeks to complete. In general, most new scenes will be bigger, so they can build more tension and include more interesting moments 😉

This week we also tested 5 new potential artists, but unfortunately none of them met our quality standards. We’re not giving up and will keep searching, because that’s the only way we can speed up production (without lowering quality, which we don’t want to do).

That’s all for now-have a great weekend, and here’s my music recommendation for today!
