We've added a ton of lines of voice to the game and can I just say that all the VA's work is phenomenal. But since we were opening up The Party chapter, we also used the chance to rework the older, low res videos, add in more expressions and sound FX, do some line tweaks and generally give the whole thing a glow up. (Check out a before and after).
Also I'm sure many of you will appreciate that "The Party" now has skip functions, to speed up your achievement hunting. Full Patch notes at the bottom.
As we wrap up January, I'd like to give a massive thanks to everyone who was a patron this month, but I'd like to throw a super special thanks to Lady Grove (who is technically also a patron, it counts!) for her tireless work pulling together this new update. I came on board and did the animating etc this month, but she has been working on this behind the scenes with the VA's for months now and did all the heavy lifting in Unity. So thank you.
For Feb, we've got the climactic conclusion to Water Weight incoming! In addition - some folks have voiced an interest in seeing slower BE in my work, so I thought I would try to go back to basics and really focus in on an experiential BE animation, with a lower overall narrative scope, but still a decent duration and being fully voiced*. It may be a challenge for me, but could also end up being super sexy, so it's worth the effort. Either way it's different and I'm excited to give it a shot.
Thanks to everyone again and we'll catch you in Feb!
(*Note: This is all dependent on the availability of VAs, if we can't get one in time it may be pushed to March, and a different animation will be subbed in).
