Hey all! Thanks for checking in on updates, today I have managed to get to a point where I have something out of concept and actually presentable. You can watch the short demo video of how the UI will work and interact overall in the game + some super early aesthetics.
I am hoping to capture the classic phone experience with the design, I am using my own S25 Ultra and my iPhone 15 Plus as examples for the UI so there’s examples from both!
Shorthand: A working UI, just gotta implement the logic and a little bit more UI, really the styling is taking most my time.
Well for one I have an actual working interface, it’s not hooked up to game logic and it’s basically just standing there, but overall it’s doing quite good I’d say! Right now I have to actually think through how I would implement the conversations, events triggering, day/night cycles ( 4 time of day are to be planned ).
The time of day is important because there are scenes where you can dare Anya to flash the window with her lights on at midnight, or to go in the nearby bus stop and take pictures topless, same works for asking her to go to the beach topless during the morning! But all these create different scenarios at different times of day. The complex part is trying to create many events that can play out ( you see a short story + pictures ) but still have some kind of branching main storyline! There are many solutions but I will try and experiment to see which I’ll take.
I have no idea, I will try and stick with what I drew above, but it’s super rough and unreliable. Let’s just say that I am so far away from the finish line, I can’t even see half the terrain I have to walk to get to it! So I am more or less guessing what I gotta do…
The plan right now is to rush a playable demo! Get it going, maybe some people appreciate it and I can also get some incentive ( Not even financiar, but just feedback and overall developing some care for the project )
Right now I will continue work on this and will try and provide updates on a weekly basis, every other monday/tuesday/wednesday… beginning of the week. I would appreciate any feedback on anything, I love constructive criticizm,
