Development Log: June 28th (Patreon)

Build: PreAlpha Stage 2

Just a couple of updates for the past two weeks. Worked on designs for the Manor for each of the rooms, which is about halfway done. The later half of that week and the following week we worked on character designs and finishing their art, concepts for the storyboarding of the game's narrative and scenes.

Will be focusing on narrative and art likely for the next week or two, then back to finishing up the Manor while making textures for the 3D models that are already in the level. The current goal is to finish the Manor and its exterior areas, getting a lot of the storyboarding done for the first chapter, and finishing the character art so we can move onto working on gameplay and unique scenes! 

After that, there will be bug fixing and working on the testing combat mechanics once the walking simulator part of the project is completed!
