DevLog #60: April 2021 (Patreon)

Hi guys! I hope you're all well and safe!

Here's what I've been working on this past month.

Light Fairytale Episode 2

I've been focusing on it this month too.

I've received the Japanese translation and I've already integrated it to the game. So the day one release will be available in English, French and Japanese!

My todo-list is getting progressively shorter. I've implemented many quality of life improvements that were not in Episode 1, for instance:

- In battle, you can now see with an arrow where your next action will happen on the turns list.

- Using the ALL orb with an element orb in the armor of one character will share the resistance to the element for all party members!

- Pressing L3 or R3 will fast forward the time anywhere in the game!

- Pressing SELECT will shuffle the languages in real-time, also anywhere in the game!

And much more!

I've also implemented the second summon animation - for the ice element: Cold Heart.

As for the release plan, I do have a date in mind that I really need to hit for various reasons, but I don't want to make it public yet as I'm not 100% sure if I will make it in time.

Anyway, the plan is to release Episode 2 on Monday 17 May on Steam Early Access!

Special Thanks reward

If you're pledging on the Founder or Supporter tiers, your name will be included on the Special Thanks screen in Light Fairytale Episode 2 when it releases!

I'll be updating this screen at each new build, but here's how it looks like right now. If you're on it, please check if everything is OK with the spelling!

Anime

I've been browsing the source files of the Theme-song OP Anime from the Light Fairytale series, and found many artworks that I've never shown before!

Here's a few keyvisuals done by Sidepillow. Keyvisuals are used to decide the lighting and colors.

And here's a few animated cels, with the original full frame - the cels are actually cropped in the final animation.

3DCG

For this month, I've made a few more renders of the mysterious girl from the Light Fairytale series.

Here's a full body turn-table. High-res version in the attachments bellow as always!

And here's this month's 4K wallpaper. I hope you'll like it!

And that's all! Thank you very much for your support!

See you next time - hopefully after the launch of Light Fairytale Episode 2. Thanks again for making this possible :)
