November devlog

Anoldor
A downloadable Otome game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hi guys ! Welcome in this november devlog ! 

♦ 1. 7 Demo progress 

So, we were a bit too optimistic hoping for a late October release, the work awaiting us was so much more than expected (mainly because of the encyclopedia) but we still made a lot of progress toward this goal ! It will probably be release at the end of November. 

Functionality:

-Implementation of the auto button : 100 %

-Implementation of accessibility options (text size and font in-game) : 100 % 

-Implementation of tooltips in the settings to explain more about the options you have : 100 %

-Implementation of the “Extras” category with the encyclopedia (part of it) Coding : 100 %, Writting 10 %. We planned to have picture representing each entry, but we couldn’t find a style to do so, so we will only do text for now. 

Story:

- Text corrections in both French and English : 50 % (The game was proofread in English before we had the chance to add Hiryu, our French proofreader, into the team. We did a lot of work on proofreading the French version, so now we have to re-translate those edits into english and to proofread the edits^^"  Fortunately we won’t have this kind of problem for the rest of the game now the team is complete :p) 

-Addition of two new choices (~3000 words) that completely change the dialogues after we wake up : 50 %  (One of the two choices, the most important « be angry » is fully written. It has a lot of variation based to the origin of the Chosen One, that’s why it was so long to write and implement it. 

-Addition of the Genesis in the introduction : 50 % ( We have all the image, now we need to work on the implementation since we want to do a nice job with the transition, we also plan to have an original music to help the atmosphere setting right !) 

♦ Other news !

- We now have a sound designer ! It will take some time for him to redo all the music of the game, but it’s worth the trouble as you can tell with this sample, the new « introspection » music !  We are now working hard to program it better inside the game so the transition and loop feels more natural. 

- We made a little comic for Halloween. It took quite some time but it was so funny to make our character’s come alive this way ! If you like it, please comment so we know it’s  worth doing more of them !

- Next weekend we will release a funny personality quizz : Which LI do you belong with !

- We currenly have a Q&A session on Twitter about the team, don’t hesitate to participate !  (End 18/11)


♦ To come 

- We are planning to rework the website for something more modern and easier to use on mobile device. It's not our priority, so it might take some time. 

That's all folks ! Thanks for your kind support and patience ♥ Don't hesitate to follow us ontwitterfor weekly news !
