(Future Fragments) Electric Cannon, Patreon Backer Cutscenes, and a New Female Character!
🕑 Added 2016-11-09 01:25:03 +0000 UTC PROGRESS REPORTAlbatross should be handing me the engine on November 11th, at which point I'll start converting the maps over, inserting the new things (like powerups, etc.) and we should be good to go by the end of the month!
Triangulate has honestly went quite nuts over the last week or so (in a good way), pumping out art at an even more ridiculous rate than before. He's done so much new animations/art in fact that I honestly would need to do another 10-12 posts just to show off everything, seriously. He's currently working on things that bring depth to the game, like NPCs for cutscenes, the prologue CGs, so on.
I've been contacting CG artists and working things out with them, as well as working on new NPC designs for cutscenes with Triangulate this week.
====================
THE ELECTRIC CANNON
So I've mentioned it in passing before, but the art you see above is of one of the environmental traps for the Electric Level.
It'll shoot out balls of electricity, which will do high damage to both Talia AND enemies, using physics (so if the ball is shot up into the air, it'll fall down with weight in an arc, etc.).
However, being a solid object, Talia can hit it with a freeze shot that, like other enemies, will freeze it in mid air temporarily. This will turn the ball into a platform, and create some interesting puzzles if you use the physics of the game/gravity stuff in the level appropriately.
====================
PATREON BACKER CUTSCENE IMPLEMENTATION
Right now, the $15 backer tier is to put people in databanks, which we're still going to be doing, of course.
However, I did want to let you all know that there is a chance that depending on what we need for the game's cutscenes and/or what you go with for your backstory selection, we might include you in the actual visual cutscenes for the game; the way your character looks would be picked out by us in general, but if you were picked for a cutscene like this, we'd let you know in advance.
====================
A NEW FEMALE CHARACTER?
Triangulate expressed interest in putting a "mysterious third female" in the game; initially, a number of "shadowy figure/giving the player a task" cutscenes were going to have different NPCs assigned to them each time, but I thought this might be a great way to make all those characters across those cutscenes one and the same, as well as flesh out a major aspect of the real story of the game.
If you're wondering what I mean about the "real story", you'll have to see by playing through the game. ;)
We'll have more of her likely next week.
====================
And as usual, thanks so much for your support; we're aiming to give you nothing less than the best game we can do!
The November Ice Demo with the new engine and all is still on track for mid/late November! :D
(As an extra note too, if you wanted to check out the other two games of mine (especially if you're a yuri or a futa fan, respectively, since we're not doing either of those in this game), they're at http://www.patreon.com/reclaimreality and http://www.patreon.com/hentaiwriter.)

I'll be updating that in today's post; it's good news slightly, bad news mostly with the first batch of people we contacted, but we've got lots more to contact.
So what's the status on those CG artists?
The Future Fragments Team
To be clear, this is the old Ice Demo, it doesn't have a lot of the stuff we wanted to add in/have in now, but I sent it!

Just pledged the other day! Mind if I get the last demo as well?
pledged $5, enjoyed the newgrounds demo
Pledged 10$, mind if i could get the demo?
The Future Fragments Team
Yep, just sent the demo; 1) The expected full release is somewhere around March 2018 or so. 2) Yep, you'd still have the full game at release, you just wouldn't have activity feed or demo access monthly, is all.
The Future Fragments Team
The new demo will be out probably right at the end of the month, both for quality checking purposes and so as to make it only a few days for all the new patrons to wait to get it for their pledge clearing, etc.

Hey, I also pledged $10. Could I also get the latest demo? I also have a couple more questions: 1. when is the expected full release? 2. If my situation changes where I can no longer keep the $10 subscription going after the first few months, do I still get the full game as stated in the pledge description? Considering $30-40 would already have been donated.
Jonathan Marlow
so it's nearly the midway point of November, the new demo coming soon?
Lagii

Will do :)
send me the new ice demo if it releases. more power guys
just pledge. may i get a demo?
The Future Fragments Team
I don't post demos to the Patreon feed, because bots come in here, scrape up the demos then leave, I only distribute them through PMs to people who successfully pledge (i.e. the money is taken at the start of the month). That said, I've sent you and everyone else who's pledged the OLD Ice Demo, regardless of whether month's went through, but for getting the NEW Ice Demo money would have to go through. :P
I cannot figure out to get a demo of your games...
The Future Fragments Team
Not a basic enemy, but the character mentioned in this post will be an anti-hero of sorts.
Hetzer
Sorry, I forgot if you already said that, but will the game contain at least one female antagonist/ basic ennemy ?
The Future Fragments Team
We definitely intend to have her being sexed up, although not nearly as much as Faye; unlike Talia and Faye, she has a much more efficient method of escaping from trouble, so she's pretty difficult to catch. (Not gonna lie, Sombra kinda influenced her abilities!)
Ben Miller
Is it safe to assume that the new female will find herself being sexed throughout the game? (Obviously no yuri) Also, I'm happy to see the state of development post-cheshire. Keep up the good work.
Vent
Freezing a projectile? That sounds fun! Keep up the good work, you guys. I'll have some nice Dr Pepper waiting for you dudes when you need a break. :)
ThatOneComicGuy
Oh that sounds awesome! Looking forward to all these new implementations!
