Chapter 4.5 Full- 1/2 Dev Log
🕑 Added 2022-12-03 10:02:07 +0000 UTCHello,
So, the first Dev Log after the initial Beta release.
I suspect that I will need two Dev Logs to finish the first half of the Chapter 2 rework that comes with Chapter 4.5 full.
I estimate says around 700-800 renders for the first half of Chapter 2.
Current stand: 350/800 renders.
You can find some comparisons down below.
But first, there's quite a bit of stuff to talk about.
1. Changes to the Season counting.
I always said that SG will have three seasons with around 10 Chapters.
But from now on Chapter 1 to Chapter 5 will be Season 1.
This way SG will have around 5-6 Seasons a 5 Chapters.
Nothing changes besides the counting. (It helps with releasing the game on different platforms.)
2. Steam and Gog.
Talking about different platforms...
I'm currently waiting for Steam to finish their review of my shop page for Summer's Gone.
Soon you can wishlist SG Season 1 on Steam, which would be a big help!
While I was preparing my Steam page, I got contacted by an employee from Gog. They asked me if I want to put my games on their website. (I verified that he's an actual Gog employee.)
So, SG at least will be released on two big platforms in the near future. (Steam with Chapter 5. Gog might be sooner.)
3. Music Deal
I'm currently in contact with a big music site... And I'm not sure if it's actually going to work out. At first, it looked like it, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
It would cost me 8000€ annually and I would gain access to the entire library. (Up to 21000 songs.)
I'll keep you guys updated on that.
I'm actually thinking about hiring someone after my move to Berlin, who contacts artists, etc. for me to secure their licenses.
I find it really annoying to deal with.
4. Chapter 2 reworked previews & comparisons.
Let's get to the fun part. All images in high res are in the zip file attached below.
So, for those that are new here... I'm currently reworking Chapter 2 for the upcoming Steam release.
Chapter 1 was finished with Chapter 4's full release.
Old (This one still had the old Nojiko model)

The Nami/MC room scene has changed quite a bit. In the old Ch2, MC said a lot of out-of-character stuff.

Same with the bathroom scene. The dialogue has been adjusted and "The Wiggly" has been added. (You'll see in the update.)

Everything has become much more atmospheric.
Old (Meth Bella)
New
The scene with Bella is a little longer now.
There's also a new scene in Chapter 2 which wasn't in the old one.
This was it with the first bunch of comparisons.
The big changes will occur in the college section. It's quite different now and has two intro routes. (Depends if you did go with Jeff to the gym.)
The first half of the rework ends after Bella's breakdown when Amber drives you back to your place.
People who have sent me a private message and are still waiting on their answer: I'm trying as hard as I can to get through all the messages. I won't copy & paste answers, so it takes time!
But I will get back to you!
