Game Dev Progress December - March (Patreon)

Very busy four months!

The December through March period completes our fourth year of game development, bringing us much closer to release with new animations, characters, and locations. You can check out previous bulk updates for August through November here, and the bulk April through July updates before that here.

YeMcBear spent most of this time working on brand new designs or tailoring characters directly into backgrounds for special scenes. We don't have her doing character illustrations anymore, as those are instead being directed towards Goorie, so that we can have them animated!

This was our best period yet for animations with ten completed, and it also became our most expensive period, as several of these animations involved two characters—doubling costs.

Basem continued on ahead, focusing on finishing up things we need for Rivera Residence, Marino's Pizza, Convenience Store, and the Diner—along with work on both city streets and Seneca streets to help serve as connective tissue for locations.

Along with our major strides in visual assets, Tenne continued to create hit music tracks for us, releasing Game of Cards, Brian x Kelly Motif, Sisters by Blood, Every day, Every Night, Burning Body, Life is Beautiful (Acoustic), Dilemma, and a Monster Battlers theme. All of these have been extremely impressive, and I'm excited to be able to have them improving the ambiance of the game and helping express different moods.

I'll be doing a comprehensive Dev Year 4 post towards the end of the month that delves into everything a bit more.
