The Slime Chronicles: Meet the Characters - Part 2 (Patreon)

Greetings everyone o/

Foremost, an apology. A systematic presentation format was planned for this series following the order of New Character > New Gameplay > Rest. Unfortunately, we're left little choice but to do things a bit out of order due to platform limitations as we're unable to insert a video mid structure of a post. Apologies but, allow us to start you off with the audial element first!

A while back we talked about the void in the background- as in we weren't thrilled about the fact that even though VoidBound maps are accompanied by a variety of background music pieces- there still remained a lack of distinct ambience immersion. We're glad to report, that is the case no longer! The video above is testament of our ongoing efforts in that regard and more additions are expected to come in the future as further developments get implemented! And yes, all of these effects are in surround sound- i.e their source changes depending on Caly's positioning to it!

Last time we introduced to you, the enigmatic leader of the slime faction, Sumura. This time, meet the equally important but cryptically mysterious leader of the Henosis city's finest, Kenna!

The eagle eyed amongst you might already recognize her because she has been part of the game for some time now. But, her role has been rather muted..- up until now that is. Not only is her role more prominent in this patch, but she also brings a huge chunk of dauntless energy to the table that can only be described as something that rivals Vas's own! Here is to hoping these two don't come face to face with each other anytime soon or worse.. with Caly in the middle!

Text too small? Hold down Ctrl key and tap the + key!

And of-course no police chief is complete without her police force! Generic NPCs they might be, but keeping in line with our diversification efforts we've made sure to give them enough distinct characteristics to stand out from each other.

Notice how Kenna's sprite seems... different? 

That's because she is part of the NPC array that was developed for the Henosis update! Moving forward, we've adopted a new direction as we're experimenting with a more HD approach towards the sprite concept. By no means is this final as we do intend to diversify further based on race, object etc., but for now, we'd love to hear your thoughts/critique/feedback on the above! 

Finally, how about buttoning it up with a sneak peak of a scene from the next H event in the works? We suggest taking more than one look to absorb everything in!

An interesting take on the term, "sandwich", wouldn't you agree?

And that is our highlights for this week! Next week, a very serious looking individual will be making his entrance into the fray. It seems he is connected with Kenna somehow, but how and what is his deal, we'll only find out next week!

Till then, take good care and we'll see you in the followup Progress Report!

Kind Regards,

Cursed Atelier Team
