New Chapter: The Cafe

You are meeting with Ron and Julian at a local café to discuss their next steps in dealing with Ron’s situation. You discover the waiter at the café is another student from your school. One you have already encountered: Ned.  How has your relationship with him developed so far? What is going to happen next between the two of you? There is only one way to discover the answer... 

More Content

This is more than a new chapter. When you play the game again you will notice almost every instance of dialogue and narration has been altered. The general story line stays the same, but everything has received a bit of polish. Some added details, to set the scene.

A special shout-out to a member of our Discord community, Luke01, for taking on the role of English-language editor. When the game is fully complete, we hope to find those willing to translate and edit for other languages so that this game can be shared by all.

More animation

If a picture says 1,000 words, how about an animation? For those not versed in the digital arts an animation, even a short one,  requires a lot of work and render time. Done right, I feel it breathes life into the characters and makes a scene more interesting for your eyes. The real challenge with 3D animation is to avoid pitfalls in ‘The Uncanny Valley” where digital representations of people just start to look awkward or plain weird. So far, so good!

In this chapter I played around with some more animation and managed to combine static images with a background animation. By doing so, I was able to let the game develop while the animation is still playing in the background - instead of just as few seconds of animation loop which is killed as soon as you move to the next line of dialogue.

I hope you like it!

More interaction

This time not in regards to the game itself, but with you as a community. You might have noticed I setup a Discord server and I am thrilled of all the feedback, discussion, and suggestions I get.  I started it about a week ago and already it has more than 130 members! Still growing!!!

We built a great community here.

A big "THANK YOU" for Discord members: Ashenguard and Auden!

Their tireless work to improve the server has resulted in the utilization of ‘bots’ to help administrate the server, created a music channel, polls, and a role management system. So don't be surprised to be sent to the Headmaster, when you participate.
