Latest batch of work on the Hive!

The evening is fast approaching, so it was time to work on June's pajamas for the first night!

It's a fairly simple design that could almost look adult if it weren't for the cute little tiger head.

With a visual novel comes multiple choices and a lot of characters. To keep track of it all, I've started working with Twine. It's a software designed for multi-path storytelling, and it's pretty intuitive to use!

Here you can see an example of what it looks like for the evening of the first day. For now, it's pretty simple, but this will be very handy when we start branching out into more narrative paths.

June has to find something to keep the girls occupied while Sato is busy. There are a lot of clickable elements, so it took me more time than I thought it would. 

Some of the elements will trigger dialogue with Lola and Maddie, while others are pretty short narrative text.

And once you click on the puzzle, the next scene plays out!

A new set of sketches from Vaabs, this time it seems to revolve around some kind of... game show?

And another series, it's the famous Bunny show that Maddie can't stop talking about. If she's lucky, June might pick that as a television choice.

And that's about it! Next week, I'll probably divide my time between graphic work and scene integration in the game!
