Hi guys,I've started working on the second scene of the update this week. I've built most of the background scenes and now it's just producing art/editing/photoshopping for a lot of these.

I'm really trying to make every scene be more impactful and longer, so it doesn't feel like the player is jumping around from place to place. Also I'm trying to include more renders per line of dialogue. Things are going well and I expect things to pick up speed. The first scene is always the slowest and takes the most time as I get back into the flow of things.The first scene has around 6 different choices spread though the scene, depending on how you want to react to certain things or depending if you want to do a certain thing or not. There are 5 more scenes left to write/render, but depending on your choices throughout the chapter, you might not see a certain scene.

The VA has given me some really nice SFX to use and I plan to give her more work for this Chapter. I was able to update my animation workflow a bit more this week as well and I'm pretty content with it for now. The animator is also working on an animation as we speak.

There's still a lot that needs to be done, but I'm working as hard as I can to bring you the next Chapter of Shadows of Ambition as soon as possible. I have big hopes for this Chapter and in my personal opinion, at least from a visual perspective, this Chapter has been quite a step-up. It's made me really excited just to see how far I can push myself.That being said, I hope I can finish most of the work of the second scene by next week, so that I can start working on scene 3 & 4.

As always, thanks for your support. I'll see you again next week for a new dev update.Much love,-AbyssGames

Every day it's undeniable that you're doing an excellent job, Abby. I'm really looking forward to playing this episode and finally seeing scenes with our favorite characters. Every week there's great progress, and without a doubt this episode will be the best one yet.

Can't wait to see every scene and every choice! Good luck!

as a player I think for the scene to be more impactful, it's more a question of writing. It's a visual "novel" so I'd go with more text rather than more render, but I can take both :) I hope we'll interact with Lilly, she seems to be a demon !

Thanks for the update, in the future is it possible that you add a setting to keep it kinetic, the story as you see it like before, if its not too much work so i wont have to find hidden scenes ahah. I prefer it kinetic novel, just asking its a suggestion if you cant its ok also. Good luck mate, take care.

100%. Of course, images can be hotter/better and whatever in general, but what usually really hooks me into a scene is if there are lines of dialogue that appeal to me, and set up the situation in a specific way that I like.

I'll have to look if that's even possible to do.
