Progress Log 4/9/21 - New Cutscene, Tree Chopping (Patreon)

This month has been pretty productive for us and we’re eager to show what we’ve been up to.

Rua’s Intro Cutscene Completed

We’ve introduced a new quest into the game that leads up to a special scene with Rua. The player will accidentally walk in front of a falling tree and be pushed out of the way by her.

People over in the discord seemed to be pretty excited about this view, and for good reason. 

There’s going to be a hidden interaction in this scene that gives even more of an eyeful for those that are daring enough to find it!

Tree Chopping System

Along with Rua, we’ve implemented the Tree Chopping mechanic.

Rua will give the player a new tool that can be used to chop trees. It’s also of the makeshift tier so it’s not that powerful, requiring 5 chops to fell a tree.

Trees will drop acorns and wood, which will later be used to restore buildings and regrow trees respectively. At the moment, trees regrow automatically when walking between maps, but later on, they’ll have a growth system and players will be able to remove the stumps. (Acorns technically don’t do anything yet.)

Also, new music!

Michi has completed another track and this one is for the girl in the intro cutscene, who has a strong connection to Rua and Hazel.

More info on her will be coming soon.

That’s all we’ve got for now! We’re on track to have another build ready around the 15th and our art poll will also be closing on that date.
