Radiant CH5: Progress Report #1
🕑 Added 2022-09-21 01:50:11 +0000 UTC09/20/22 09:42PM EST
Hi all! Just a brief report this time, but news is news!
As you may or may not have noticed, this report is public. This will be the case for all reports going forward. You can expect these reports to happen every time we complete 3-5 scenes, along with 1-2 preview renders like the one shown above.
Now you may have also noticed that we recently filled in the first "heart" for Chapter 5: this means we've completed the first scene/it's been written, rendered, & coded.
While this may seem like "only a little" progress (it's been exactly 16 days since Chapter 4's launch)... keep in mind that this is fairly normal, as there's usually a lot to do after a new chapter's launch, such as moving out of beta, sorting through player feedback, making the relevant posts, updates, and advertisements on various platforms, etc. Basically, you can expect it to take us about 1 week after a new chapter comes out to even start working on the next... hence the 16 day gap between Ch4's release, and Scene 1 of Chapter 5's completion.
Additionally, while only Scene 1 is completed so far, Scenes 2 & 3 are about 50% of the way there, so it won't be long until I'm updating the tracker again. I've also completed Chapter 5's Intro Screen, the main menu for version 0.5, updated the "attributions" list for game music, did some groundwork for the new chapter's code, implemented some new and exciting features (an overhauled choice menu, as well as the option to toggle the "choice menu background" 'on' or 'off'), and more!
Putting the technical details aside: we are currently on track to release our next major update in the timeframe we've given.
If this changes, I'll post again and let everyone know.
Thanks for reading! Until next time!
