It's been a while, and we've been quiet, so I thought I would send a brief update to let you guys know we're still working on the next update. The studio had a very busy January and February as we ramped up a new project alongside a long time partner. This is allowing us to give Unsung Story the continued development time it needs.
Here is what we worked on last month:
- We decided to make some design staff changes on the team to better target the game towards the direction it needs to go. The new members are diving into job systems in order to better balance things and into reviewing Chapter 2 level designs so we can get the level art started. At this point, Mission 8 is complete, and we hope to get Mission 9 started soon.
- We also made a series of revisions and tweaks to the female models and job outfits for Chapter 1. I think they came out great, and I'm looking forward to seeing more diversity in the game. While we were at it, we also updated the male Archer outfit. The models are now waiting to be rigged and animated.
- The scripting work on all 7 missions in Chapter 1 is complete as a first draft. We're going through now to polish up little bits here and there, but I expect that to be finished this coming week. This pass also incorporated the changes to the mission progression that will allow players to jump into the Hub sooner and start messing with their characters.
- UI work has also started on the new Hub changes.
- Changes to the dialog presentation are still ongoing. We are waiting on some new test art. We're still working to nail down the approach.
