Saturday Update! (Patreon)

Hello again! It's that time of the week!

Work is going steady but I have to sadly admit that I way underestimated the time needed for setting up the placeholder images ^^;

I thought I was somehow gonna do the whole DLC in a week[?] but last week I barely got the first third done. [ I did get held up a bit by life stuff too, some mandatory city trips and a double dentist appointment blegh ]

But!

I've been adding quite a lot of placeholder sprites! 42 so far, although some are actually equipment or other scene making elements.

I've also added in a fair amount of tween animations for these sprites and the background. I made a large enough background that I can move the camera a fair bit- and whenever I do move the camera I move the elements in front at a different pace for a parallax effect. It looks great but it takes a lot of time and math to do LMAO

I'm fond of how it's looking so far, or the plans anyway- but I have to admit this project is becoming a bit more in depth than I anticipated!

The variation is sprite poses and distances might actually eliminate the need for CGs! But it also means I'm going to be spending a lot more time and effort drawing the final sprites. 

It's definitely a very different approach than I've taken for the visuals before, but I'm having fun with it and I think people will enjoy the immersive vibe!

Or at least I hope so! LMAO

Anyway, I think I'm going to need at least two more weeks to put these placeholders in. It's a bummer but I really want this to look as cool as I think it can. Hopefully the longer production will be worth it!

And of course, thank you guys so much for your patience and support! I'm having a lot of fun and I'm so thankful I can be working for you!

Have a safe and fun weekend!
