Work In Progress - Behind the Scene (Patreon)
Content
Hello Architects! 😊
Here I am to give you an early look at what I’m currently working on for Summer Vacation. Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:
The Next Update: S25
Of course, I’m fully focused on bringing you the next big update! S25 is shaping up nicely, and I can’t wait to share more details with you soon. Stay tuned!
Work In Progress:
Optimizing the Game’s Size
I’ve started working on reducing the size of the game by changing the image format. This will make downloads more manageable, especially for those of you with slower connections. However, this change also requires several adjustments in the game’s structure, which I’m tackling right now.
Adding Music
Yes, it’s finally happening… I’m adding more music and sounds to the game! For now, I’ve added tracks up to the university party scene, and honestly, I think the game feels so much better with sound. As you know, sound design isn’t my favorite task, but it’s worth it for the atmosphere it brings. Plus, now that I’ve started, it’ll be much easier to update and expand later! 😊 As I said, it's a WIP, not sure everything will be done for S25!
Adding Some University Images
While revisiting earlier parts of the game, I felt that some university scenes were missing key visuals. So, I’ve gone back and created a few additional images to enhance those moments. Here’s a sneak peek of one of the new renders that will be included in the game! (Attach the image here.)
Your Turn!
As always, I want to hear from you! If there are specific parts of the game where you feel additional images or visuals would make a difference, let me know. Whether it’s a moment that feels rushed or a scene you think could use more visual impact, I’d love your feedback. Drop your ideas in the comments or on Discord—I’m listening!
See you soon!
