It's the start of Week 12, the week that marks our summative assessment. I'm not prepared! Here's development.
Finally, Cliff is designed and finalized! His face is a little scary in this rendering, so that will have to be woobified. Otherwise, he's ready to be finally, actually, sincerely modelled out!
Here's some more planning work from the GDD. Colour palettes picked from my moodboards, a floorplan for the Romuli Den-bus ready to be modelled and assembled, and a flowchart of the total game loop.
And here is the current state of the prototype. Broken but fixable! That is my primary and sole goal for the next week. Unity, unity, unity! Code, code, code! Let's make this presentable and pitchable! And most of all, let's get every major mechanic in and functioning, and therefore testable!
There's a lot going on in my head right now around the total game structure. Currently, my main focus is just ending up with something solid and total for the tutorial Hospital level and Den by the end of the first half of the next semester. The rest of the game -- the first mission and multiple endings -- are stretch goals now. It seems like a cop-out, but if I work hard -- and I beg of myself to work hard -- it will come together.
What I want, more than anything, is to let my inhibitions loose and make something that I am proud of -- that is me. It isn't that right now. There's a major breakthrough yet to be made, and I can feel it. The hearts still missing. I need to find the heart and put it at the center of the game's universe. The One Theme Above All; is it kinship, identity, freedom, warmth, escapism, loss of humanity, or destruction of the body? Hm. Wolfhood is perhaps all of these things. Perhaps Wolfhood is the one word, the one theme. I'll think about it more.
As a treat for making it this far, here's some additional Cliff art, including the first-ever Homolupus fanart courtesy of an anonymous classmate!
Thank you for reading! Awoo to youu~!
