Me Things have been quiet on this end. Work has ramped up, but not much to update. I have a ton of things on the cusp of being complete, like promotion art, animated live 2d assets for the demo, including the H Scene. However, our coder, Xplicit, is on a small hiatus without his pc. He is moving back to his home country after finishing Uni and without his computer. Expect him working on the unity systems sometime Mid to end July. What have you been doing Therin? Well, in a couple of words. Voice Acting Input. I did the math. The demo alone adds 1,500 separate Wav files to include VA across the entire board. You heard right. The VA will not just be spoken lines. The VA will be every single line. No worries, it shouldn't add unreasonable work onto the cast. Past the demo, the MC will be who will be narrating, so the cast that is too busy will still only have to focus ONLY on spoken lines. We have split the demo into three sections to help compartmentalize the VA efforts. Sections I, II, III. We are finished completely with VA on Section I and about 65 percent complete on Section II. Section III will be ready around friday to send out packets for record. Shalen, the editor, has to peer review the lines prior to them going to the Voice Actors. At that point, I section it off, build the context builds for them, add direction, and then coach as needed for each line. Each line is scrubbed one by one, for each route. Both routes in most areas are completely different. Expect the entire game to be this way. Not only to add playability, but the female and male's routes are different in perspective. Add the non-binary choices to that... Yes, there will be some lines that will add non-binary spoken lines. The system is pretty simple, but will take a bit of off-branching that I don't mind doing. So how it will work, is we have male and female (he/she) sexes plus gender. This is the breakdown. Non-Binary Options will have to only be directed to the MC themselves. Three layers will be in the character selection. 1. Name Choice. 2. Biological Sex : A and B Will be tied to male or female body and voice. Maybe we can allow a male to have a female voice XD If we can code it in. We will go for the most options without causing too much extra work. Options is what this game is about! 3. Binary or Non Binary. (Gender Choice Preference) So VA lines plus written lines will be triggered if they choose non binary as their gender. And only when pertaining to the MC. When Unity has to change a line based on their binary preference. It will trigger the non binary voice lines and written line. IE Ex. Unity will replace this line, with voice lines from this. The MC is smacking his butt and jumping up and down. To this for non-binary. The MC is smacking their butt and jumping up and down. Further into the game, if the story warrants it, having the non-binary tag may add additional scenes that may not be in the male and female. I won't artificially add anything, and I won't leave something out because I am too lazy. I am dedicated to my craft, and the telling of this story. I want you guys to know, every penny goes into speeding up the process. When the demo is complete, things will ramp up, and I won't be able to financially keep up the pace to get all the assets ordered in a timely manner. That is where the fans come in. I will not change the game in any way if my funds don't make the cut. It will just take longer. On top of this. I will be probably opening a kickstarter once the demo is dropped with a total budget required for my vision. It will have the base game plus stretch goals. Examples of stretch goals? An animated Anime OP of the B1NARY cast with custom music added. I have some legal things to close up but I have a song I am getting permission to use this. 5 Mins long. Additional custom music and more character art: Cameos with live 2d animated characters. Additional H Scenes added to the Harem Completionist Route. Additional H Scenes and mini games. Any additional money gets donated to the cast and the hard workers evenly based on role and work. Nothing gets kept. The fund will either go to the cast, or to the development of additional assets. B1NARY is more than just a Visual Novel. It is a universe I will allow others to make their stories in. Sorry for the rambling lol. I appreciate everyone that has donated, money, time, effort, advice, or moral support. I could not have made it this far without you guys backing me up. Thank you.
