Important news about the TBR:Retransmitter (New BG)
🕑 Added 2021-11-29 23:22:48 +0000 UTCGood hello, comrades!!! Something long ago we did not inform you about how the development progresses and decided to correct this misunderstanding. Since the last post, we promised you more details about further updates. About the 0.03 Part 2 update, the only thing we'll mention is that it will be a purely story-based update, where you'll find out what will happen to Uraraka at the mansion and whether our young Midoriya will be able to stop it... And of course, about his daily routine as a student-hero, where he'll have to come face to face with our old annoying friend... Okay, we're getting a little too chatty, let's you leave us some trump cards for an update! And now for the main thing, which is why this post was originally written - the problems and nuances we encountered on the current path and what we've done to solve them:
- Frequency of updates We decided to rethink our approach to how we allocate our resources and time for development, and as nice and beautiful as it is to insert a huge amount of art per event, it would still be better to concentrate on the main rather than the details. Let's say we'll stick to a set of certain rules, along the lines of "3-5:1" - no more than 3-5 arts per big event and the like, so that development will move forward and not stand still. Know that we wouldn't want to drag out the release of TBR:Retransmitter for decades, as we still have plenty of ideas and projects we'd like to pursue. For example, as a programmer and as an artist, we'd like to try out the beauty and sorrows of making things with such a great engine as Unity :3
- Plot and Voting In the original plan, your developers had thoughts about allowing our community to influence the plot and introduction of characters on a larger scale. However, if you would let us, of course, we would like to show you exactly our vision for the story and all of the major arcs that will be present in the game. Voting will be on the characters that will have a more secondary role and where in principle it will not matter when this character will be introduced, or let's say on the expansion of the "content" with the now-introduced character. And on organizational issues of course (if we once again have to change the name, for example:)
- Canon Ashamed to admit it, but your developers are not fully acquainted with the source material, which in the future may lead to plot holes and other attendant nastiness. Therefore, we will catch up and keep a more harmonious balance between "our" plot and the plot of the original, so that in the end came out a pleasant product, both for those who are familiar with the original and not.
- Mechanics As we wrote earlier, we have already completely decided what the main gameplay chips will have in the game. Let me remind you that there will be 3 of them (2 of which are already introduced in the game in one form or another), but we will also pay attention to the minigames for the secondary characters or where it will be appropriate. It's possible that in the future you'll be able to speed up the development process by helping the programmer-developer solve problems on our game's GitHub repository (if you have a desire of course, we won't force anyone :D)
- NSFW Since we've gotten to the point where the conditional "prologue" and the starter have been implemented, the availability of NSFW content will increase dramatically after the 0.03 Part 2 update, so don't worry about it - we'll catch up soon. Just make sure you keep your hands on the table, after all - we're doing this for research. For research, right? :0
- Recruiting for the team Unfortunately, we can't afford to have anyone else on the team right now. This comes from the fact that we do not have enough resources for this, let's be honest. The only things we are sharply lacking are a person to handle music and sounds (so far we are working with free sources), a permanent translator (we only have a hired one at the moment), and maybe a second programmer to help with the nerdy work of the development programmer (let's say a part-time one). Please note that we do not need writers, as we decided to do the story entirely by ourselves (read the paragraph about the "Plot and voting"). Please do not get mad at us for such a candid confession >_<
And the last - the release version update 0.03 Part 2 will be in December-January (we will try to earlier, of course), after which we take into account everything that we wrote above and work fruitfully. Well... Phew, that was pretty hard to put into proper form. But as the saying goes: all that is not done is done in the name of the Commune!!! And this post will also serve that sacred purpose!!!
P.S. The best solution would have been to post as early as the 1st, but since we haven't published anything for you for a looong time, better late than never. But the next few times we'll be fasting exclusively after the end of the month, so it doesn't look like a ploy to retain an audience and patrons (if it happens to be timed so that the post is prepared at the turn of the month). We really don't want you to get that impression of us. And if you want to speak out on the topic, you're welcome to our discord server, we always have swords and shields ready for a long discussion battle (・｀ω´・)
