Progress update #3
🕑 Added 2024-05-26 09:42:41 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
sorry about the delay, had a really busy month.
The topic of this progress update will be Kara's sprite with some previews as promised last time, and then a couple of other things. Kara's sprite is currently only lineart, but it should give you a pretty good idea of where it's headed.
Below is a side-by-side comparison. In defense of her old sprite, I don't think it was ever quite "finished". And before you ask if Kara wears no shoes - I just haven't drawn them yet. I don't think there's ever an instance where a character sprite shows the feet, so... low priority!
Here's a variation without the apron and with her hair tied:
I'm not 100% finished with the lineart just yet, but I'm happy with the general direction. After Kara, I think Anasteya's sprite is due for a rework next. While her current sprite is not necessarily bad, the proportions are a bit off from what I've been drawing in scenes and I'd also like all of the sprites to be consistent in style. Besides - it only takes about a day to do it when I get a vibe I'm happy with. That being said, I'm not 100% sure if it will be included in the next episode.
Aside from this, I've been playing around with ideas to make certain scenes a little more dynamic - fight scenes, for example. Using Adobe Premiere, I was able cook up this in less than twenty minutes:
I can't post videos on Patreon, so this is a gif - the actual version wouldn't be looping like this. Instead, it would play once and then effectively freeze on the last frame. Hopefully, it will make fight scene feel a little more dynamic (especially once I get better at doing it). I might be able to leverage this for making sex scenes feel a little more dynamic as well, but nothing complex. In Adobe Premiere, I'm just taking the existing assets, moving them around and rotating them - nothing as sophisticated as a penis entering a vagina. But a little camera panning and such might still help make them look more appealing.
Outside of arting around, I've been heavily focusing on tightening up the script for the game as a whole and trying to make a realistic plan for what I can and can't do. There are many things that I /want/ to do but won't be able to in the interest of keeping the story going at a reasonable pace. But that's probably something best discussed in a separate post.
Anyway, that's all I have for now, so let me conclude with a quick sketch of Kara!
Love you all,
Worlaix
