(Future Fragments) Bi-Weekly Progress Report #89
FutureFragments posts
The demo should be ready soon; not going to give an ETA though as Frouge needs time to fix the remaining bugs in it.
(Future Fragments) Bi-Weekly Progress Report #88
Yeah, I know, I know; the demo isn't out yet, we just want to fix as much as we can before putting out the temporary demo (the polished one will come soon thereafter).
But that's why there was only one cutscene done this time around; most of the last two weeks was spent prepping the Fire Level to be 100% finished off before we move onto the other levels and finishing them off.

Got some more big cutscenes out of the way this time around.
If all goes well, expect something fun sometime next week; it's not going to be the game launch, but it'll be something that you'll hopefully all be able to have some fun with.
As a reminder, cutscenes are all of different lengths and content density; roughly the same amount of work is being done each week regardless of th...

Hitting the final few cutscenes, which are unfortunately some of the densest ones to get through and need the most testing/writing, but still making progress slowly but surely.
As a reminder, cutscenes are all of different lengths and content density; roughly the same amount of work is being done each week regardless of the actual number going down.
Still by far on track for 2023! 2023-07-31 23:18:52 +0000 UTC View Post

Had to spend some time testing out/fixing a few unforseen issues that popped up with functionality of the cutscenes from last time around, but otherwise made decent progress.

Pretty good progress this time around!
However, just as a reminder, these cutscenes are all of different lengths and content density; this week was a lot of smaller ones, so we could get more in than usual.
Other progress reports might have less than this, because the cutscenes that time around were denser/longer, so they took more time to implement.
Still by far on track for ...

Had to rework a few things for a few maps, plus assisting with some testing for some of the programming, so didn't get as many cutscenes in this time.
Should be back to normal progress by the next update, but it's still progress!
2023-05-22 20:24:12 +0000 UTC View Post(Future Fragments) Bi-Weekly Progress Report #80
A bit less than last week, as some of these cutscenes were fairly long to implement.
Otherwise though, progress is still moving pretty steadily ahead!

Realized the new layout gave the false impression that only writing/audio is left for the game's release, when there's still a good chunk of programming left too.
Decent progress this week though, still just pushing along!
2023-04-25 04:08:38 +0000 UTC View Post(Future Fragments) Bi-Weekly Progress Report #78
Here's the new layout for the progress reports; do you all like/dislike this?
And is there anything you can think of that you'd want to see on the right side, where there's some empty room?
As far as progress itself, was a bit busy these last two weeks between the holidays and an unexpected family visit, but still managed to get some cutscenes written, recorded, and implemented.

So yeah, next week I'll have a list of the # of cutscenes in specific levels, which might make things even more clear since barely anyone reads the text I'm writing for these (not bitter about it, just stating it matter-of-factly).
I'll also have a special post up here I've already done on the Discord, sometime next week, which will cover how cutscenes are made from start to finish with p...

I do realize that after so many posts without images or videos or something of that sort, that it's hard to really tell that we're making progress outside of just taking our word for it.
However, like I've said before too, all the progress we're making is either "under the hood" stuff (programming) or game spoilers (story).
That said, once I start implementing cutscenes again, I WIL...

The post itself pretty much covers all of it; not much else to say except me writing, writing, and more writing as fast as I can!
Frouge is busting his ass too; we want to get Future Fragments finished and to you all as fast as possible :)

Not too much to report this week, just progress as usual. Got a decent amount of cutscenes in at least, just over 40.
As noted though, for the next 2-3 weeks (and maybe slightly more, depending on any issues), I'll be writing exclusively and not injecting cutscenes, so as to hopefully finish off all remaining writing.
But that leaves us with less than 100 to go to...

Bit of a long post this time, but I'll try to make it as brief as I can!

To start off, we switched the numbers to make it so that it shows the number of cutscenes completed, instead of the number of cutscenes left, so that we could also show how many cutscenes/databanks are in the game total.

Now, before you freak out at that number, realize that some of these cutscenes take literally only 30 minutes-1 hour tops to put in the game.
However, there ARE some cutscenes (like the core storyline ones) that have a ton of branching variants, or that have a lot of special effects/extra stuff needed to get them working on Frouge's end, and those are the ones that can take upwards of 3-4...

Also, people have asked often how they'll get access to the game after having backed for $20 or more, so I figure I should address that in this post.

This questionnaire will ask what service you want the key on, or, if you're from Germany or China, i...

Just pushing along, nothing special to report here; still going to be releasing the game on November 30th, 2022, but again probably with about 10-15% of total voicework missing as well as some cutscenes, secret endings, etc. and a few other odds and ends not in yet.
