Quest Failed: Chapter Two - Dev Log #67

Hiya there! How are we all doing today? I'm back with a new dev log and raring to share all of the progress I've made over the past month~

First of all, I want to talk about the track sample I've attached--as it's been a while since I've shown how things are developing from the audio side of things. The super talented composer Noyemi has been working tirelessly to create a wide range of tracks for Chapter Two, covering a variety of moods custom tailored to fit scenes throughout the game.

The attached track as you might be able to tell is a very chilling, haunting kind of track with an almost...otherworldly feel to it. Dark, droning sounds and an ominously low choir trailing off in the background, almost like wailing ghosts... Gosh! Naturally I can't give too much away as to where and when this track might be used--but what are your guesses? And based on what you've heard, do you like how Quest Failed's OST is shaping up? So far I'm really proud of what's come out of it, but I guess I might be just a teensy bit biased, haha. Either way, I'm super excited to share it with you guys!

Secondly, I'm continuing to power away on writing scenes, tackling the gigantic outline one word at a time as what was once a daunting undertaking now is becoming something very manageable. My main focus has been balanced between fleshing out some of the smaller exchanges between characters that build up their relationship points, and then some of the bigger h-scenes. I'm hoping to have one character's h-scenes and voicework completely finished soon, leaving me to focus my efforts on all of the other characters alongside their little cute interactions they might have with Matt.

Here's a small teaser featuring a new interaction with everyone's favourite mermaid! Matt had some reservations coming back to the beach given how she treated him before, but apparently she's not that bad when his friends aren't around for her to rile up. For whatever reason, Matt attempts to understand the logic behind Marine's actions and see if there's something more to this fish beyond being a sadistic little prankster.

Are you curious to learn more about Marine and what drives her, or will you be giving this particular fish a wide berth? The choice is yours~

My plans for the rest of the month will be to work on writing as usual, while also finally getting around to replacing the placeholder UI elements here with the shiny new ones I've teased before. This will take a little bit of delicate work to avoid breaking things too much, but I'm confident all the pain will be worth it in the name of having a far more professional looking game!

Thanks as always for your support--you guys are the best! And until next time~
