Developer Diary 2 [Dress-up Sim] (Patreon)

I made a lot of progress since the last post and want to share some of that with you.

First of all I want to explain to you that this project is separated into two parts:

1. The character creator demo (eta ~2 months)
2. The full game (no eta)

For now I am building the character dress-up as a proof of concept, to find out if it is fun and worth investing a lot of time into. This demo will give you an idea of what to expect out of the dress-up aspect of the game.

The actual game will have a whole world built around this dress-up and give it purpose. Adding different locations, actual mechanics, etc. That will be the ultimate point of this project.

Right now I am in the process of implementing an elegant system for going through all the dress-up options. While it should be a system that is nice to use, that will not be the primary focus for the demo, as I will basically start from scratch for the actual game (not asset wise, just rebuilding what I have with the larger world in mind from the get-go).

For those of you who notice details, this game is vertical and that is because I also intend to release this on mobile. While the PC platform will get initial support, I do intend to quickly have a build out for mobile, including the demo hopefully.

After I am satisfied with a UI solution for the demo build, I will begin working full time on assets. I have compiled a rough list of what I want to have available in the demo, so that is where my energy will go from there on out.

I will talk to you soon about some other stuff regarding this project, so stay tuned!
