v0.58.7 Bootleg Anime Edition
The changelog is gonna look a bit different this time cause it ended up being a highly cinematic update.
Since it moves the main story forward I'd say its a significant update!
The main story continues as the gang attempts to deep dive into the Protagonists dreamscape.
So it's got the usual 'significant story update' stuff including:
- Main Plotline Progression
- New Animations/Cutscenes
- New Dialogue
- New Sound FX
To explain: The animations/cutscenes in this game are played through pre-rendered video files.
For example all of Chapter 2 has 6 cutscenes like that, and Chapter 3 has 8 in total. (mainly short spicy loops).
This update I ended up with a total of 14, and they also ended up being more elaborate and longer than average. I figured since we're doing a dream arc, its a good time to experiment a bit and try new things. I could probably have spent less time on this, but it was fun and my animation and and rendering skills improved a bunch in the process.
Behind the scenes I've also made 5 or so "spicy" animations and added them to a library. As in they are raw animation data that I can apply to any model. Will save some time and come in handy in the future... I've also been studying stylized rendering.
