Tarnished Hearts Dev Log #01 - Animation as a Core Feature

Hello again! The weekend is approaching, and we thought we might brighten up your day by showing off some progress of Tarnshied Hearts. 


A core feature of Tarnished Hearts is the emphasis on character expression. Humans rely on recognizing subtle cues to identify and then react accordingly to a person's feelings. Figuring out what the three dates are feeling is no different. It acts as a guidepost to help players determine which dialogue choice best suits the situation. What makes it more enticing is they're all animated.


Here are some examples we like to share with you: Remember, not all expressions are straightforward. Some characters might use subtle facial and posture cues with double meanings. It's up to you to interpret these cues and navigate the metaphorical fork in the road. Your choices could lead to conflict or reveal meaningful outcomes, deepening your understanding of the characters.
