DEV News CYB0.3 Part 5

Development continues at a good pace.

This past week I entered the heart of the game with the Slayer phase.

The free roam mechanics are in place and will have to be confirmed once the loop of Aline's first real day (day, evening, night PHASES) is done.

My goal is to be able to deliver a version that allows access to the main repeatable events while advancing the story.

Synthesis Room in Cybercorp. Slayers have their outfit synthesized here (training or battle outfit)

To do this I have to finish with the most difficult task so far, the mission phase as a slayer. A very tricky and demanding phase that will set the pace of the game and reveal its potential. There are many poses, situations and scripts to prepare.

It's a bit overwhelming but it's the challenge to have a really cool game.

As you can see, there is still a lot of work to do, at least 5 weeks to have a playable version 0.3. I know that the releases are spaced out, it's a lot of work and it's necessary to find the right balance in good gameplay, story, decent game duration etc...

Honestly, I don't think (but I could be wrong) that this 0.3 version will be as long as the 0.2...however, it will be rich in possibilities.

You can decide to go straight without doing the first side events and it will be short...or you can decide to explore the possibilities and the game should be quite interesting.

Possibilities such as growing bonds with characters, (long term WIP)

Once the foundations (I think that's the best term for your understanding) are done, we can expand each route and choice as the story evolves. I don't know if I'm making myself clear, a development can be obscure to the public but I'm trying to show you that everything is slowly but I think solidly coming together.

Don't forget to check my discord as I'm often uploading news free to everybody in the #wip channel and we can discuss together of the project in the #general-discussion channel, no paywall and I'm glad to answer any questions and debate with you.

See you soon for more news ;)

Oh...one more thing : Leridia is paused right now but I'd like to polish and finish it once 0.3 is released. I think I'll come back to it  in august after a little summer break.
