Louder Dev Update 9


Hey Hey! Been awhile hasn't it? Thats just to do with the fact I been on a little back and forward with personal things and working on this game. And also because schools starting back up for most of the team. Luckily i have a short schedule for my year, so i will be able to manage with working on life and this game during my last year of highschool.

First is that i finally swear the office is finished. No more reworks, im happy with it as it is. Its a little more cramped and its definitely more dark, which makes it even spookier when animatronics appear at the doors (which i have attached an old photo of me testing that)

Secondly my PC has gone under a BIG upgrade, im now using a RTX 3070! Cycles has never rendered so fast till now, so rendering these scenes doesn't take a whole hour now! (The new office has 42 frames for the fan oscillating, would have taken god knows how long on my RX 6700XT)

Third is well, the character retextures are getting a little complex. Due to StarGlitch (Character modeller) having a pretty shit pc. The characters have some limiting factors when using them for scenes or in this case retexturing them. No IK meaning I have to manually pose the legs, and the UVs aren't the best on some of the models. Now this isnt the fault of Star, they cant afford a better pc atm and with only being able to use Blender 2.79 for all the modelling since its the blender version they know the most which unfortunately lacks more modern features that make life easier. So the current character being retextured which is Bahbah, has to go under a SLIGHT makeover, and most likely expected, some others might need a slight makeover as well, like Yap. These wont hold back coding for the AI when the time comes for that, placeholders exist for reasons! (Fun fact, these characters are 2 million polygons! this is due to them having fully modeled endoskeletons)

Fourth is that the 720p conversion is starting for the game. As stated in a small update the Menu transferred over with basically no issues. Luckily I have not rendered the camera frames fully, so no need to rerender any scenes just yet other than the office.

Fifth and finally is if you couldn't tell, the menu is finalized! Last things needed are Syren to make the music for it and we will be smooth sailing onto the next menu areas like the settings screen.

Welp, thats all we got for now! I will still update on progress from time to time and show more off as we progress. - Veniadev

fuck (Context, this is all the dev files)

not naming this game Yap and Yell Plus has avoided the dreaded curse of FNaF Plus and I have never been more glad to ditch that idea incredibly early. But just for fun, heres what it would have looked like.

New thumbnail dropped, along with new renders to go with...except one got corrupted..weird..

if your curious as to what i have been working on alongside Louder, check out my progress on charting Returnal! https://youtu.be/TLcXiR2NUHs

1. Clickteam now cant tell me i dont have enough memory 2. The settings are being worked on atm and honestly i might push just the settings screen out as a separate update from the new AI mechanics (since it includes a patch that the game needs rn).

Still tweaking the design but WIP LaughingDog ref
