Preview of Upcoming Content - Kizana's Befriend/Betray Stealth Mission Environment (Patreon)

The environment for Amai's "Befriend/Betray Stealth Mission" involved three fully-modeled buildings - a bakery, an office building, and a building that was under construction.
The environment for Kizana's stealth mission will involve two buildings - the main building that you're infiltrating (which I have already shown off in a previous video), and a secondary adjacent building that can offer you an additional way to access the main building.
There were three ways to enter the bakery in Amai's stealth mission, and there will be four ways to enter the main building of Kizana's stealth mission; this adjacent building facilitates one of those methods.
The main building has been finished for a while (since May) but the adjacent building wasn't finished until today. I'm very happy with how it turned out; this modeler always does such a great job! I've included a video of it above!
(In the video, when the protagonist reaches the top of the building, you'll notice that the surrounding area outside of the building is the Amai stealth mission environment. This is not final; when you actually play Kizana's mission, the surrounding area will look much different.)
I do have one or two small complaints about this environment. For example, the rooms feel a bit cramped because of those cubicles being so close together, and because of those barriers above the desks. When putting Kizana's stealth mission together, I might make the decision to space out the cubicles an bit more, and also remove those barriers above the desks so that the player can see the whole room a lot more easily. (This will lead to "crouch behind cover" stealth gameplay as the player avoids NPCs in this building!)
Now that this building is finished - and all of the characters who will appear in the stealth mission have been modeled - I officially have all of the assets necessary to begin working on Kizana's Befriend/Betray stealth mission! Hooraaaaay!
(Please remember that I won't officially begin work on the stealth mission until after I'm finished bringing Amai's week to Osana's standard of quality. However, it's still great to have all of the necessary assets!)
Recently, I heard man describe a difficult period in his past using a metaphor: "I had the recipe, but none of the ingredients." It struck me as a very poignant metaphor. Well, I can happily say that I now have both the recipe AND all of the ingredients for Kizana's mission!
Oh, one last thing - the modeler who created this environment is someone who receives payment for his work. Once again, he was paid using your Patreon donations. Thank you for your support - it enables the game to keep getting new additions like this!
