Hello everyone! I thought a nice big update on how things are going is due. I've been doing pretty well irl, and can't wait to graduate highschool. I've been accepted into a college for an Associate's Degree in videogame development and stuff like that. Things are finally starting to look up :)

Anyway, I'll explain some mechanics of just ONE of the three main gameplay segments in the game. (Of course, everything is still a work in progress and not final)

In the O'Relic Family Corner, Dustin spends his time in the Infirmary, getting information from a shelf of books. Why? You'll find out sometime soon. Each visit, Dustin has a choice to read 1 of 3 given books, with each time offering new choices to read. Some are poems, pictures, and even canon stories. I PROMISE it's worth your while to actually read. Having the book open is what progresses the player through the night.

Before Dustin leaves home early in the morning, he can fit a few items in his backpack. Items can be purchased at the Hallgreens in the town. These items can impact how the game plays. For example, the CD Player is very unique, because Dustin can purchase different discs at the store that play different songs, which certain ones attract or repel enemies when playing. Also just nice to listen to. Other items can be used in other gameplay segments as well.

The camera system is, admittedly, pretty standard. This is the most WIP-heavy of them all, haha. There are two characters, J.C. and Mrs. O'Relic, who require attention to the cameras for their mechanics. This stuff will be shown off eventually :)

Speaking of showing off, all the character modelling is complete! Definitely, I'm not remaking these again. I've shown off some them in past posts, but I'll show another one here. Wait.. uh.. what happened to Toby?

Toby is a very unique character. He is a single character, with three different bodies. His mechanic involves mixing and matching body parts... the concepts are still to be determined but that's the overall idea I've had. Just wanted to share I guess. Also yeah, he looks pretty beat up. Huh.

I've finally decided to get a new username to more represent how I am now and all that stuff. It's pretty simple and already taken by a Twitch streamer, so I's probably adjust the name once I find a good idea of what to add onto it. Thanks for understanding :)

Thanks for reading, the trailer is still coming! - kenZ_
