Dev News CYB0.3 Part 6

Added 2021-06-26 16:32:42 +0000 UTC

I worked a lot on the studio to do poses in the mission with Kassiah and Aline as Slayers the last week.

These poses, several hundred of them, are now almost finished and I have to do the animations.

So next week I will finish this aspect of the scenes to be created and set up the events related to this mission.

There are still a lot of things to integrate and I am adding them little by little.

I'd like to be able to open up some of the free mode while still advancing the story and the bonds between the characters. The 0.3 should be a solid base and then we can go deeper into each aspect.

The fight choreography is the most demanding part of the game since the beginning of the development, especially since I chose the option to make a kind of tag battle.

Every action of Aline in the fight planned in 0.3 will lead to a scene with Kassiah. I have to anticipate each situation as well as the reactions between the two slayers depending on their status (deviant, pure...traits). It's very complex but I think I'll just start adding to it as I go along. So you'll command Aline and depending on your actions, if you fail Kassiah will also fail etc...

We'll really have to think of this 0.3 as a foundation on the project for its core content. It will then expand quite quickly.

Routines will slowly be put in places, bonds to grow, slayer mission (tag+solo version).

Don't expect many different battles with a lot of monsters though as it takes 2 weeks for one battle to be made.

In other hand, those battles will be repeatable and very fun as you will try to see many possibilities.
It's still early to see where I'm going but I think it's in the right direction.

Total numbers of cg's have grown to 2k+

Release planned for late july if I can work faster the next weeks. As always, I won't hesitate to postpone it if it's not good enough. No pressure.
