Thrallworks Update #14: Keller and Clopping

Added 2021-07-29 20:14:50 +0000 UTC

Sorry about the late day, but I have had some Bad News lately; a close relative of mine is in hospital with Covid. Seems like it's going to work itself out thankfully, but I'm still a little worried.

Anyway!

Kellahhhhh

As you see about, I've been roughing out Keller designs. I'm thinking more in the way of expressive body language and a limited amount of expressions would be the way to go; we'll see how it goes. As you may notice from the intruding Cerise albow, Keller's noticeably shorter than Cerise, but that's because of her heels, she's pretty much the same height/a little shorter without.

And look at the DONNNNGGGGG

PWHAAAAAAR LAAADDDDD

Intro and Side-Thralls

Beyond that I've been working on the Intro text, and in doing so realize there's a couple of other thralls that'll be turning up hither and thither.

I'll probably just pick some of these myself, but every now and then I think I'll make a poll about a thrall to see about sliding them in. I have to be careful with my assets so making the game doesn't take a huge amount of time, but some are going to be unavoidable.

At any rate, I think we're going to be in a good place soon to get the whole orientation demo (or the parts I'm keeping at least) hauled over to Unity when L-D's re-asseted. I feel like I still want to polish Cerise up and figure out better ways of arranging expressions before tackling L-D, but in the long run, it'll speed things up 2x 3x, is my hope.
