Slice of Venture Remake Diary #13
🕑 Added 2024-04-08 08:54:25 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Today I'm going to take some advance because I'm going to talk about a feature that will mainly be inserted AFTER the first update but that was already coded because you can't always code something at the moment it appears in the game.
This is a little whim of me, and I have to admit I do like the result. While this feature won't be visible in the first update of the game, there will be one character with whom you'll be able to see the change, and that's Naomi. So I decided to take her as an example to show you the feature.
This is the basic sprite when you talk to Naomi. Nothing important to note (outside the fact that we do believe with Peak that our colorist managed to do real silver hair that don't look like simple white hair like in most other games.)
That being said, if you remember her design correctly, she has a hat. Of course, you don't wear a hat when working, let alone working inside. But for the same of the test, she'll wear it.
You might be wondering "well, yeah... it's the hat version... so what?" If you have a keen eye, you might have noticed the cat that appeared next to the girls. This is an event I added for the sake of that post. It's not here in the game. And clicking on it simply says "Naomi wears a hat". What does it mean? It means that it's not me who changed the sprite manually to make her wear this hat. It means it's a switch in the game that can have her wear it or not. And if you start understanding where I'm going, then you've figured out the mail goal of all this: the possibility for the player to choose whether or not she'll wear that hat.
In the first part of the game (the canon part), all of this will be unmovable. She'll wear her hat when she has to etc... BUT, after that, you'll have the possibility to switch the hat on and off. And if you're wondering: yes, it will affect H scenes. You like the hat but not the glasses? Be my guest.
You prefer seeing her free from accessories? That's also possible.
And that isn't something linked to Naomi. All the female characters of the game will have this feature implemented. The main girls on which the post-game content will be focused (Yuki, Ayame, Naomi, Reiko & Anaëlle) will have 5 accessories. The other girls will have 3. If those accessories are visible in the facesets, they will be visible or hidden depending on whether they're activated or not. Of course, they will ALSO be visible/hidden in H scenes. We don't have the time to go the clothes change road (we might have done it if Yuki & Ayame were the only girls to have scenes but due to the fact we're trying to feature everyone, it's impossible with the time limit of the game development) but I still wanted a bit of modularity. Of course, each accessory have already been decided for everyone but I'll reveal them later when posting stuff for the first post-game content update. There's only one thing I'm willing to share because it's the only common thing to all girls and because at some point, I have to leash out on my own kinks: glasses. All the girls with glasses will have the possibility to have them removed and all the girls without glasses will have the possibility to wear a specific pair of glasses we've chosen for them. So yeah, let's go Persona 4 style, everyone with glasses \o/
That's all for today!
See ya o/
