Celestial Intervention. Development Blog.7

0.07a Public Build is getting closer and is now scheduled for late November.

Development update

- More optimization in game performance;

Graphic update

- Character Artwork Overhaul. Keeping old artwork was not an option. Maintaining the same lazy style doesn't work either. Supported by @Celestial Old Man Star, we were able to come up with a new design for both the character artwork and the overall presentation. 

doesn't show all changes made

we're moving away from portraying characters at their full height. It was clumsy, it was ugly, and it was impractical. In the next update you will discover a new pleasure of reading dialogues followed by character images. 

We leave the main character's full-height image inside the menus, allowing the player to see the character's clothing and body in full view;

Story update

Don't want to split this up into separate paragraphs. We're pretty much done with moving the first act scenario into game. but there is still quite a lot of work to be completed. Lots of random events, side quests and world lore.

Increasingly, we're coming to the realization that the main storyline is only a guide that isn't really necessary to create your own story. By giving the player only the basic main story we rob the player of any uniqueness walkthrough. We aim to create as much third-party content as possible, to elaborate on the world around us and the events that take place in it.

We're still trying to keep a balance between the main story and side quests, without actually making the side story any more interesting than the main storyline. In our vision, the player is presented with the ability to be distracted by third-party quests at any point during the game, these quests should show the world 'round, open up new views or change the character under the player's control.

In addition, especially for itch.io users. You may have noticed that the game page has been getting a lot of attention lately. Finishing up with most of the game code development we find more and more time for other tasks that need attention. Very soon the page will become even more beautiful with updated screenshots, prepared trailer and other materials
