Weeckly update CR2 (21/8)
🕑 Added 2022-08-21 20:15:59 +0000 UTCHey guys!
Work this week has been slower, since we’ve been busy solving some issues:
The first of them was bothering us since C1R’s launch but we couldn’t quite put our finger on it. Eventually, we noticed that all ingame art seemed less saturated than when we were working on the image files. We couldn’t understand why at first, but after some tests, we discovered that it was due to an option during the image export into .webp files. It seems this option distorted the final colors.
The good news: we can now solve this problem!
The bad news: we have to export every single image file again…
It’s a hassle, but we get to use it as an opportunity to improve some facial expressions, give more dynamism to some poses and sprites, and some other changes that you suggested in the feedback forms (which you can still answer here).
You can see the saturation changes in these images:
*Old:
*New:
The second issue is determining the aspects of the new character we want to introduce. Yes, you’ll meet an LC’s brand new character in C2R! This means looking for references, designing the character, their stats, how they interact with the rest of LC’s cast, who they know, the different paths we want for them, their evolution, and so on. It’s a long process, but without doing this work we won’t have a basis to establish a coherent storyline on.
Finally, we’re making a poll for next week so that you can decide Alice’s new outfit for C2R.
Feel free to comment with your thoughts on these changes, and whatever speculation you want to make about the new character!
See u soon❤️

But this wasn't on the schedule anyhow, was it? I can not discover any big red string in the game, no big problem to solve. There is Alice trying to realize daddy's project and her strive to end university, but nothing tight, soon to be realised stuff. It is more like a teleovela right now. But yeah, I agree, bringing it to an end in two years would have its advantages storywise.

Sadly, daddy is dead, isn't he?

Well, another downside of more characters can be the loss of story focus. Nothing wrong with having a tight story that ends.

Gald to hear you fixed something that bugged you. Typically PC-stuff. A "little" problem that should be fixed in no-time ;) . But I have to admit: The old colours did not look so bad to me - more realistic than the new ones. The pictures "Daddy" and "Best friends" looked like my own pictures, the new ones look crisp and influencer-enhanced ;) . But I wonder how the new colours will look in the actual scenes - might be more welcome there :) . Also, good to hear you are enhancing some of the facial expressions and so on :) . Good to see a chance in every obstacle :) . Yet another new character? Feels like the world of LC slowly but steadily fills up. I just hope you can handle the new possibilities 10 chapters from now :) . But here I have to admit, new characters might be a really good idea to make the game feel even more alive.
