General Planning for The Hunter 2
🕑 Added 2022-03-25 15:32:33 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
I'll try to post content when I can for The Hunter 2, but I thought it would be a good idea to show a first "roadmap" (or something like that) so you can have an idea of where I'm going and more importantly, how long this is going to take 8D
First of all, I have a "to-do" list that is long like Sylvester's dick ranging from very minor tweaks (adding the accent on the E of Léonie in her presentation picture) to much bigger things (rework Sophie or improve stuff like the quest journal.) I have roughly 20 points like that to change before even thinking starting the upcoming content. Many of those things are polishing but it's important to improve the polish on The Hunter 2 when we spent so much time on having a better UI than in our other games. There are probably things I won't have the time to do, but I'll try to improve as many things as possible.
Now for the real content itself, here are the key points.
1) Brothel improvements
This is probably the element that will be improved at each updates. Either in terms of content (more furniture, characters etc...), UI or gameplay. For the moment there are two main things I'm focusing on for the brothel (at least on my side): more furniture (there's really nothing for now) and more girls. As such, 2 new girls from Ominira will be hirable in the brothel. Just like Tambara, they'll both have a quest to fullfil to be able to hire them.
The updates are meant to be split that way in terms of characters for the brothel. You'll have new females in an update, and then, you'll have a new creature, then new females etc... We had zombie dogs in the previous updates, so now, we have two new girls.
In case you're wondering, the hiring of girls is not random. I've ranked them with a specific element in mind: how easily they can accept Kaya's offer. So the further we'll advance in development, the harder it's going to be to convince the girls (not harder gameplay-wise, just understand it as "longer quests".) So with those elements in mind, you can more easily try to guess who are going to be the next two girls. I'll reveal them in proper time during the development :)
The last thing about the brothel will be the unlocking of the second floor, allowing the player to have two girls working per nights. But that's at the bottom of the list. Whether or not I can achieve it will depend on the time I take for the rest. Because The second point is faaaaaaaaar from being small :x
2) New district in Ambriosa & new places
This is probably the biggest element of that update. I've always said Ambriosa would be the heart of The Hunter 2. After all, Kaya's main goal, outside repaying Ominira's debt, is to make Ambriosa a pit of lust :D
As such, the first new district of Ambriosa will be unlocked in that update, through the continuity of Biserka's quest. It will be the poor district (there will be a total of 6 districts if you're wondering. The entrance of the town counts as one.) The map will be bigger than the entrance of the town. It means new people to meet, new situations, new places to search etc... I'm currently finishing the design of the last new character in that place. Just like the entrance, of course, not everything will be available right away, I'm planning some elements through the scope of several updates.
That doesn't mean Kaya will be stuck in Ambriosa. The goal is also to expend possible places on the world map. As such, there's going to be at least one new place on the world map (maybe two if I have enough time.) So in terms of mapping, I have quite some things to do :p
3) New characters
I already mentionned it in the past, but one of the things I do to make TH2 more lively and credible is the fact that I spend some of my free time creating new characters that I stock on the side and I use them when I need to for NPCs. Biserka, Sasha or Vincent were all created before I actually gave them a role. And you probably already saw Hector and Kali which are here, have a 3D model ready but that I'm not using for the moment (and I'll maybe never do it.)
As such, if we put aside characters that are already in Ambriosa (so Biserka, Sasha, Vincent, Catherine, Giselle, Aren, Hector and Kali), I have 34 possible characters in stock (and plan on creating more.) Some of those will be delivered for that update. And not one or two. 12 new characters will be in that update. I mean characters with facesets and 3D model. Of course, there will also be your random NPC so don't worry, there will be more than 12 new NPCs in total. So plenty of new faces :x
4) Corruption
This is meant to be the last gameplay element of the game that isn't implemented yet and the current version of TH2 ends on that note. In her efforts to "lustify" Ambriosa, Kaya will also have the possibility to corrupt the female inhabitants with the help of Biserka. This is something I'll detail in a dedicated post later. But that's an extra component that will have to be added too. It's not a new gameplay type, though. Things are going to be quests. But the goals are very specific.
5) H scenes
Of course... This is a good part of the work of TH2 since I deal with it unlike with 2D projects. I have A LOT of planned H scenes. To be honest, I probably won't have the time to pose them all. Just looking at those mandatory for the story/quests, it's already quite the amount. But I'd like to render as many as I can. I see that I added 4 H scenes in the previous update (mainly because a lot of time was spent on the battle pictures), but here, there's bound to be AT LEAST the double. I'd also like to start implementing Kaya's punctual outfit change. Not the thing you can do at will (too much work) but at least have her in possble different clothes when the situation calls for it. So plenty of things to expect there too :)
That's the overall idea behind the coming update. For the moment, I've focused on creating all the necessary 3D models I needed (I only have one left.) After that, I'll move to the H scene posing (which is going to take A LOT of time). After that, I'll move to mapping, scripting etc... And I'll try to post everytime I have something relevant to show or to say.
Meanwhile, I hope you're eager to see where things are heading. The next post will not be about TH2 but will be Slice of School's first voting session.
I'm leaving you with a bonus pic for those who had the courage to read everything. This woman will play a key role for the corruption thing. But I'm not telling more :x
See ya o/
