Al/Alan

WIP Al/Alan. (He would be in the game with the Emily/Bert people)

I wanted him to look messy... not sure I dig the hair yet as I pictured him with short hair... but short hair isn't... messy >.> 😅


ok nvm that last image... new Al... though he looks really ... young 🤔

too old? >.> hmmmm

Would this look too much like Sebastian?

This is the other last design I've got. :S

oh should also add this one with the fuzz. This is the most likely to be Al/Alan. Unless the other ones do not look like a Sebastian carbon copy.












The next big game after Love Lock

So I've talked a bit and thought a lot about what I'm going to do after Love Lock and while I'm on hiatus I decided to expand on the main idea.

I've started up a prototype already, just not sure where pov is going to meet her. (The name is still in progress, I like Emily but the name makes me think of someone I grew up with) 

Anyway, there's always a lot of talk about the gender, as in, "is it gay?", "is it straight?". And I've often tried to explain that you can't change the gender of the characters but you can change the gender of pov. Well with this game I was thinking of making a opposite gender of each character and just go easy on animations/illustrations. 

I've been thinking about a menu screen for pov where you pick the :She/He/They, Chest/Breasts, and Penis/Vagina but also where you can pick your love interests gender WITH a twist for Bi-sexual players as I'm hoping to add a random button so it will just randomize the genders of who's on screen. The stories would be the same though. So Emily/Elizabeth will have the same story as Bert/Seth

Art update on Rebecca

Just updating her face to the new art style I'm going with. There's not much of a change but it's there :3



Writing sample of Rebecca

Writing Sample of Rebecca:

POV "Get over it!"
POV "I don't love you."
POV "I'm never going to love you."
POV "It's over."
"She stares at me with hollow eyes as she thinks over what I've said."
Rebecca "No..."
Rebecca "You're wrong..."
POV "You know I'm not."
Rebecca "YOURE WRONG!"
"I'm started as Rebecca starts screaming all of a sudden."
Rebecca "YOUR WRONG! YOUR WRONG! YOUR WRONG!"
Rebecca "ALL OF THIS NEEDS TO MEAN SOMETHING!"
Rebecca "ALL OF THIS PAIN NEEDS TO HAVE REASON!"
Rebecca "Cause if it doesn't..."
"Her eyes look dead with rage."
"I find myself shrinking into myself from fear."
Rebecca "Then..."
"She thinks it over carefully."
Rebecca "Then you deserve to feel as horrible as I do."
"I start to regret breaking her illusion of hope."
"She starts to laugh to herself."
Rebecca "You're right..."
Rebecca "What was I thinking."
Rebecca "This isn't going to get better."
Rebecca "Theres no saving this."
Rebecca "You ruined it all!"
Rebecca "You're..."
"She can barely put her thoughts together."
Rebecca "You need to pay for all this."

Damien Animations

Damien's animation!


So since it deals with hypnosis, I added a "Help" button and there's a trigger in there to use it if you happen you get hypnotized. Where it will then relocate the game to make Damien say time to wake up 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, awake


Damien Sprite Art

 Sprite art today :3



Endings

 Oh I also went through the majority of all endings so that instead of being blank when locked, they are dimmed making it easier for you guys to look them up in guides later on. Like with what I did for Unknown. Still got a few more characters to do this with but most of them have it now.



Update

 I haven't announced in a while so I thought I'd share a bit of what I'm up to.

One of the things I did was went through David's route and changed all this sprites to reflect what time of day it is (so he's not bright against a dark background) Now that I think about it I wonder if there are other areas of the game that need this.... >.> I just know that David looks quite bright against these backgrounds in particular as there are no street lamps. The paramedic is going to need the same expression.


other than that I haven't been working on anything visual or written. 
I've been mostly adding sound effects, sprites and voice lines to Mark/David and Damien's routes, getting them all polished up and complete outside of finished art.
Visually I worked on adding achievements to each routes and making a better looking achievement screen. (spoilers in the achievement window)
