3rd Anniversary News #9
🕑 Added 2025-07-16 17:23:07 +0000 UTCHey guys, Axl here, now with the first news of this month!!! 15 minutes worth of footage from the MaM remake demo: Featuring the whole Alice's Hypnosis Session!
I'd say give it a watch (you may have to go to YT) and then come back to the post, but you do you!

FOR BEFORE THE PREVIEW
The prologue of the game has been rewritten a bit for it to make more sense, the context of this scene is:
You just freed Cyrillia from where you found her and after accidentally using the spell on Alice last night, Cyrillia appears to you and after some talk, suggests for you to try it out again.
Of couse, you told her that is some sort of mesmerism so decided to do some quick investigation on how to hypnotize someone; with a downloaded script and some guts you go to Alice's house to do try it your new ability.
FOR AFTER THE PREVIEW
Well, for starters, yesterday I wasn't at home for much of the day, so as you could see, there are some really minor tweaks that I decided to just leave in there since I had already been recording for like 30 minutes when I noticed... I'm really sorry about that but it was around midnight...
Well, I hope the preview and give you guys an idea of how the remake is looking and what I'm going for. I'm really glad with the direction I'm going and I hope you guys like it it... And if not, don't worry, I did not show it much in here because that's going to be shown later this month in the second UI preview, but among other things, you can turn the voice acting off.
As for the art, I'm thinking on giving some major tweaks to the sprites, since those are pretty old and I feel like I can do way better. I don't think this will be done for this demo though, I'm so close to getting it done that I don't want to get sidetracked with stuff that is not essential.
AXL'S COMMENTS
Well, here is the first important post of the month, I think I can post a few drawing I haven't upload yet but I'm not sure.
I'm rushing this post a bit since I have to get back to drawing but there is something I HAVE to say: Due to some problems with Cyrillia's VA, Alice could be the one who is fully voice acted.
This is stuff that I can't control and even after reaching to THREE different VA's for her, I got either ghosted or it just didn't work out. Something similar happened with Alice who had another 2 VA candidates/casting before setting on the current one.
It's really frustating since with Liz's and Bea's VA's the proccess went so easily that I thought it'd be like that for all of them, I didn't think that the two that appear right at the start would give me so much trouble.
I really don't want to delay this, so even if I get another VA quickly, I might release the Cyrillia content just partially voice acted or fix it in a possible second demo.
I'll give you an update on this situation later this month, maybe I'll add a release date for it but so far it's still looking like mid/late August.
I think that's all I had to say for now, thanks for reading and supporting me, I'm really sorry for this; as I said before, this is stuff that I can't control so I just have to work around it.

Thanks! I don't have a precise number right now but it's going to be a minimum of 6 (7 if you count Erika)

Just wondering, how many cameo girls will there be in the distant future ? (Asking out of curiosity, also good luck with production and I'm look forward to all your future work!)

Thanks, I'm trying to come to terms with that, trying to go back to my fuck it we ball era; will try to not delay this unless it's completely necessary.

Looking very good so far! The regular updates are greatly appreciated. I also appreciate the sticking to the deadline. from the sounds of it you set a realistic deadline for a pretty complete demo for what you plan to do next. its alright if not everything is 100% ready, since its in part to show the VA work and all the coding improvements. the spritework is looking very good!
