Spook’s Progress Posting #52 – Bad Decision Drivers. (Patreon)

Hey-hey ho, beWildernaut-erinos! Another week through it and another big shovelful to show for it. It’s been a fair week of progress and that’s what we’re here for, plus a little bit of teasin’ so let’s get to it and see where we’re at. We’re getting close enough now that even chitter-chattering is time that could be spent ticking off to-dos, so that itself should be enough to get excited over. Here we go then!

Goal: 15 New CGs and the Scene 2 re-lightings to complete the artworks for the version, and as much Post-Production as possible.

Accomplished: 15 New CGs as planned, Scene 2 set, the remaining 44 CG Post-Pro’d too, plus the last of the Scene 1 Texts converted too.

We’re well and truly over the high hurdles now, from here it’s all about taking all the parts and making a working game if them. Let’s see those bars for ourselves now!

The art’s all made and it’s burning a hot hole in my hard drive with the antics the girls get up to this time. Spicy, it is! From here the main thing to do is get Scenes 2-4 into text form, get the engine set up to handle them. After that, it’s testing, and some off-the-bars admin stuff like getting the posts and the walkthrough ready. It’s possible we’ll have a release next Friday, it’s too tight to think it’ll be before as things stand now, but if things do spill over I’ll be close enough that it’ll be worth working through the weekend to get her done. So expect new content sometime between the 14th-16th!

[From This Point On, Beware of Potential SPOILERS]

---

I’ll leave y’all with a short but sharp teaser this time, then get back to the job! But be warned… Spoilers!

This version is dubbed “Crossfire”, largely due to the way shots get fired and hit unsuspecting targets, y’all will soon see. Really though, I wanted to call this version “Kelsey’s a Selfish Bitch and Frankie’s Starting to Crack” but that was a little too wordy and spoilery.

Speaking of cracking, we saw Frankie had some potentially bad decisions ahead of her last week, this week here’s a look as to why…

… Yes, that is the long-lost Larson, back on our screens. Turns out his part to play in the game is more of a cameo than even I would have though back when we did Frankie’s OS, but even a short butting of heads with your butthead ex can drive a sane person to vice and sin… So think what it’ll do to the likes of Frankie!

The Week Ahead

Not much to elaborate on than what was said above. Monday is getting the engine set up, Scene 1 in and tested, starting on Scene 2 texts. Tuesday-Thursday, get Scenes 2-4 text ready and tested. Friday, if all is in place, final playtests and last bits of misc work like the new portraits as needed. Should all be doable, though with long hours of text copying. Be sure to keep an eye on the Discord for more news closer to the time, if any updates are needed.

So that was the week that was #52! Almost there, so much so I can taste Italian food behind my teeth already. Hopefully I won’t be chatting with y’all again next week because you’ll be busy dining with Noe and Co yourselves, so until then…

Be ready for Frankie’s fight on the footpath and beWilder!
