David CG~ really happy how this is turning out 🙂

WIP Character Art

 David 3/4 in progress

Art Upgrade

 Started Re-doing David's face to match the new face sprites. Thoughts? Is this change worth the time?

Art Upgrade~

So now that I've upgraded Sebastian's face I need to go through and upgrade all the CG's. Starting with the 3/4 images as those are the most tedious. Looks like this month might be mostly art updates 🤔

Animated CG

 Just wanted to show some more animations in the game, and remembered this one. I really should count this as a CG 🤔

Thoughts

Getting David put in there. Him and Sebs porportions are finally fixed (for now, still need to redo David's face and one hand sprite that looks off now that I look at it.) With that being said, I'm not sure how everyone else compares... Olive's face looks rather large as well as Katies... :S (Which would mean Rebecca's is off as well as Daneila's)

Actually going over it again and comparing it's not that bad. Sebastian/David/Damien all have longer chins, and the rest have wider skulls. I don't think it's that much of a difference to redo everyone! Well Damien needs to be resized but I'll hit that bridge when I get there.

Animated CG mask

I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT!

For the longest time the images were bleeding out of the icon and I didn't know how to fix it. More animated CG's to put in the gallery now~ Now that I know how to mask them :3

Animated CG

 So a neat little thing I haven't talked about in Love Lock is how I've been animating CG's.

I'm not yet sure how this is going to work for the gallery as I'll probably want them animated in there too. It started off with just a simple thrusting motion on CG's to make it feel like they're really ontop of you, but it's been progressing into things like the videos below.

 Haven't share some art in a while. Here's a semi rough CG from David's route.

Flow Chart

 This is David's flow chart currently, was just touching it up to reflect the current code and thought I'd share it.

Thoughts

 So... I've been thinking and there's a chance a tiny tiny chance that I could possibly add a new character :X 

It's a thought I've been having I probably shouldn't but, there's opportunity for it. I need to think on it more before I decide. :S

I was asked, "wait a new character?" but I thought my response might be good to leave here in announcements.

The new character is an idea I'm dabbling with. The reason for this is (Spoilers ahead):

First I should explain a bit about how the routes are structured: In the main timeline when you are not kidnapped by anyone there are 4 major routes you can find yourself in:

1. Katies dead (shown in yellow) 2. Adams dead (Shown in blue) 3. No ones dead 4. You're partner is kidnaped

I plan on changing the first scene with taking out the trash. See if the stalker is breaking into the office to get your phone number why the hell is he attacking you out in the alley way 😅 it doesn't make sense. What makes more sense is that he attacks Adam who stumbles upon him. But then I have to ask myself.. is the stalker going to be nice enough to simply choke Adam out? or is he going to stab him. if all that happens then you're going to be out in the alley way waiting for Adam to exit the building and meet you. You'll be given a choice, go check on Adam find him stabbed and bleeding and SAVE him and he stays in the game or... go home. Adam dies and someone has to replace him for the shift. Now I thought about this, "oh, well wouldn't I just want to use Walter, he replaced him before?" the answer is no. Walter's route is written so that you meet him at that juncture, I would have to do conditions like crazy and make new content in the store if Walter was to enter that early on, so... alternative is a new character. Will this new Character be a kidnapper? Hard to say. Would the character be female? 85% likely. But it would make more sense to add a new one and branch it off onto a new route then to merge everything together. So: If Adam dies at the beginning of the game, it clashes with him dying later and the events that trigger because of it(aka meeting Walter.) Though this now brings a bigger question. How horrible is it going to be for Adam to get stabbed and then die later on 🤔 poor guy...
