Hey everyone.
The purpose of this is, as the title says, to keep you updated. Some of the things I’ll talk about have been discussed on the comments, so I’m sorry if you are already aware of these.
As always, this will be kinda long; basic ideas are written in bold letters at the bottom of this post.
Even though I got an overall positive response from all of you, I’m not satisfied with the game as it is right now. The models, some textures, the way everything works (since I wrote the scripts I know it’s a mess) and the amount of bugs/glitches people experienced during gameplays I watched are just unbearable for me. I know this is only considered an “Alpha” or “Beta” version… but it’s just too much.
I’m scrapping most of it.
I find this to be a good excuse to replace Frisk’s model (their face will have to show a little more expression), rewrite the code and give it a cleaner look. Also, some of the music will be changed and the rest (of course) will be added.
On other news, one week before releasing the demo I had to format my Hard Drive and lost a lot of things in the process. Even though I didn’t lose any of the game’s data/resources I lost some of the programs I work with, so things like music and video edition are out of my reach for a while. Once I get those back I think I’ll make a video on what NOT to do when getting started with Unity, because I made so many mistakes… It’s laughable, and I think It’s a good thing to let people learn from my mistakes.
Lastly: Do you think I should post an update every now an then? Like, every two months, just uploading a build of what’s done so far so you can give me better feedback? or do you think it’ll be better to upload it once the whole Ruins section is completed (most likely by the end of this year)? I’ll let you decide this here -> Twitter poll
So basically
- I’m starting over; some of the current assets will be used, others will be scrapped.
- I lost some software, so things like music and video edition will have to wait for a while
- Want to play the game once it’s finished or would you rather have early releases once every two months? You decide -> Twitter poll
So yeah, that’s it.
Have a good one.
