This Week in the Forest #170-171 (Patreon)

OK! Time for TWITF!

This is mainly gonna be from Vixel, since y'all have seen what I've been up to by now. I WILL HOWEVER, share a recent sketch that will be in the game sometime in the future. Lots of y'all have been thirsting for that subby-plant scene, and I was planning out how I might handle that :>

Now for Vixel's reports!

9/24 weekly update:

Hey floofs! Last week I did some tune-ups to the dialogue tool and worked on scripting an animated scene for the next part of Act 3. Will finish preparing the scene this week and then focus on importing & scripting dialogues for that section of the story. ^^

Have a lovely week! <3

10/1 weekly update:

Happy new week, floofs! <3 Last week I staged and imported a bunch of new Act 3 content, and programmed a new animated scene with Rascal and friends!

There's a lot of content to set up in this part of Act 3, so I've been doing additional cutscene and trigger programming using placeholder dialogue to keep my workflow as efficient as possible.

This week, I'll finish those programming todos and then replace the placeholders with the full dialogue! From there, it's polish time for an upcoming build. Will keep you posted! ^w^

That Dialogue tool he's talking about is super dope! It's gonna be a really handy thing for when we open up for Localization! Basically folks will be able to type stuff in and see how it shows up "in-game". Including all the markups with different portraits, and animated/fancy text! Super exciting!

I think he eventually wants to get it to kinda automate as well. Auto-populate or auto-upload entrees so the Localization process is simplified. We'll see! It's literally a whole extra side app now, it's really slick!

OK THAT'S IT!

Thanks for sticking around folks <3! Y'all are the best!
