🕑 Added 2022-11-30 20:29:24 +0000 UTCIt's been a long time since we posted the last messages from us, and probably some have already decided that everything is dead here again, but there were reasons for this. We are completely focused on work and try not to be distracted once again. Although your every message has been read, and every question has been answered.
Now we are finishing preparing the old images for the new format and testing a new matryoshka system that will work with all this. On the one hand, this is a very painstaking process, when only the basic dialog image of Natasha contains more than 300 different layers and several hundred more for the front and back versions, and all of them must be correctly positioned and correctly named. On the other hand, it is a constant search for solutions and an attempt to take into account all the necessary functions when designing a program, which leads to the fact that a lot of time is spent on thinking, and sometimes on a complete reworking of a seemingly ready-made solution.
All this is very boring information for you, and the result of this work probably not everyone of you will be able to notice, but this is what we need to complete before proceeding with further development of the game.
Okay, we've sorted out the most boring part, it's time to move on to what you're interested in. Since the integration of all images will take place directly through Spine, all dialog images will have a simple idle animation and breathing, similar to what happens in combat.
Another fairly simple graphics improvement is the addition of shadows under the characters' images, which makes them more voluminous and highlights them against the background.
The language selection menu has been redesigned. Now all currently available translations are displayed there, as well as the appearance has been changed.

Various other minor edits and improvements, graphics changes and other improvements are also being made to the game.
Summing up, most likely, we will need another week to finally figure out the matryoshka system, after which we will transfer the old events code to a new standard and add new prepared content.
If there are no force majeure circumstances, we plan to release a new update before the end of this year, so next year we will be busy implementing previously announced mechanics and writing a continuation of the story.
I hope that our next post will be dedicated to the new release. (⌒‿⌒)

It's nice to hear that. https://www.patreon.com/posts/just-new-post-27779745 This list of languages has been available in the game for a long time, but for the most part it's machine translation. Since we do not have basic knowledge of the grammar of many languages, it is difficult even to say how acceptable this translation is. Most likely, its quality is quite low. The main task was to demonstrate that the game is able to correctly display most of the unique letters and symbols used in various languages, and a full translation into any of them is possible.

Really glad that you started working on the game again! Your project is too good to be abandoned. And by the way, I see you are going to translate (or have already translated) the game into Ukrainian. Я б з радістю зіграв на рідній, солов'їній мові.

For me, i like the technical details too :) The language selecter in action looks very nice! Im really hoping for a late christmas gift :D Like i wrote too many time: this game has way too much potential to not going on :) btw, if your matryoshka system works well, you could sell it for other devs to get there some money too :)

Game work is hard work, I'm honestly glad that This game is not Dead anymore, because it's probably one of my favorites to play just for the nostalgia from fallout 1
