We've also added special sprite animations as well. Sprites will now hop, slide, dip, and move across the screen at certain times which makes them feel far less stiff than they originally were.
Although not many of these are on display currently, you can catch a few of them in the recently updated public demo!
The sun glare spoken of in the last update had to be pushed back in order to rework and better polish how it works alongside the new animations, but at this point in time, we still have plans to integrate it fully into the final game.
It just might take a little while for us to get to that point.
Affinity/Mental system
Alongside the investigation system that has been part of WS since day one, we've now implemented a new "Affinity/mental" system to add another layer of interactive gameplay into WS.
The system itself is pretty simple. Now, players have a way to check their affinity with Ayumi. Before players simply had to guesstimate and there was no clear signal as to how much affinity one had.
By clicking the bird logo on the text box, a small amount of dialogue will play that gives you an idea of how Ayumi is feeling towards Shouta.
This should help players in determining if the choices they've been making were good ones.
That's all for now!
With every little update, we get closer to our goal of a finished narrative experience.
Things have been moving at a much faster pace than ever before, and we're so happy to be able to share with everyone the new changes we have made over the course of the last few months.
Everything is finally being implemented, and slowly coming together.
We hope you all are as excited as we are for when the time comes we can give a proper release date for the project!
Stay tuned!
