Biweekly update #22 (Patreon)
Content
Bugfixes:- Fixed a bug where you couldn't use the arrow keys anymore to select the Fierce/Kind choice
Game progress:- Added Caine's chapters 19, 20 and 21- Finished Caine's 5th CG- Sketched Bill's character design- Finished the laboratory background- Added a new effect "action lines"
Here we go! Because Caine's latest chapters (19, 20 and 21) didn't require much new art aside from his 5th CG which took me way to long to make, I had some time to prepare James' route instead. I finished the first background for his route (the lab which is beneath the boutique, run by your brother, Ralph). I also finished up Bill's sketch:
(yep, his pupils are white!)
A little background, Bill was one of the original love interests back in 2009. He used to look like this:
Which then turned into this:
And well, now he's been redesigned like above; way more mature and fitting for a fantasy setting! Bill is not a love interest, but hey, who knows in the future...
Caine was based on Bill's design when I rebooted Tailor Tales, hence the similar colour scheme. They're nothing alike in personality though.
I'm also in the process of finding a new VA for James, though in all likelihood, it may be his original VA who will reprise his role again! This VA was cast back in 2017, but due to the quality of his files, I replaced the VA with someone else in 2018. However, I wasn't quite satisfied with the new VA, so I opened up James' role once more and the old VA auditioned with a new mic as well!
Either way, I'm hyped to start crunching out actual sprites for James' route. Caine and Ralph have to go first since they appear in the 1st chapter. Caine needs an entirely new sprite because he's 3 years older in this route. Not to mention a superhero, hah.
Alright, back to Caine. Chapters 19 through 21 were relatively easy since it mostly takes place in the player's boutique. They're a bit of a downtime before things start going horribly wrong. Prepare yourself...!
I'm excited to reach Caine's endings. I'll be writing chapters 23 and 25 next month (24 is already finished). Thanks for sticking with me for so long!
