A new look for sprites! Some script written so far.
🕑 Added 2020-05-31 22:27:35 +0000 UTCHello - my 3D dev friend @IncubusAcademy (Or Deevilj) had a problem with his computer resulting it crashing - and he lost some models. He was able to save *most* of the models and decided he wanted to recreate them just in case - and I've wanted to fix the odd head-pose that he'd originally made - because you do not talk to another character on screen, and always 'face' the player of the VN. It was a minor issue for me at the time (could live with it), but I did want to fix it eventually. Turns out, he finally got some time to work on the models I had, and we ran into some snafus restoring them completely, so they both got a new look. Chris is more or less the same, and Grant is now a bit more Dad Bod which is pretty nice imho. Brent will be worked on soon, as time allows for him.
So recently (as of this week pretty much) I've been coding them in - and the sprites are all 'defined' into the project, and included. I just need to edit the script to reflect the changes. Grant's side images will be unchanged, except maybe with more expressions included.
He also created a pack of emotions for Chris beyond the 5 default ones I'd gotten before, so it now enables me to switch to layeredimage feature for him as well. That will take a little extra work - since I now have to go through all 8 chapters up to this point to tweak his expressions/outfits. There are now 3 full sprites with outfits and three side image outfits for Chris.
I also recently wrote down a To-Do List. And man is it ever LONG! LOL. But I did do a little progress on art and script - just not enough to finish a complete update to chapter 8 yet.
* Did a preliminary sketch of a bathroom for Grant. (Trying to figure out how to use perspective effectively)
* Wrote/updated Brent's route in Chapter 8 - roughly half done with the other routes concerning Chris barely started. (If you took the treatment when it was first offered, you're mostly on Brent's default route.)
I just wanted to let you guys know what progress I did make so far.
