Devlog #31

Hi-ho, Wudgey here!

I promised I'd show off some character profiles if we hit a quarter of our current Ko-Fi goal, and we hit 59% while I was afk.... Sorry about that.

Here's the official profile for Warden designed by Re.Alice. I'll also be posting this on twitter and ko-fi, since tumblr is known to be unkind to image resolution.

Here's the text and synopsis, for screen readers + in case tumblr makes the image too small to read:

WARDEN

Rank 66. He/Him.

Birthday: April 17th (Aries).

Likes: Pretzels, Boxing, Fidget Spinners.

Dislikes: Losing and Loud Noises.

Underneath the chiseled all-star persona and the glimmering smile, Warden is something of an adrenaline junkie. He's warm and energetic at best, but impulsive and easily goaded at worst. With the amount of time he spends fighting crime in the public eye, one begins to wonder if he even has a private life.

Recently, Warden got moved up to a leadership role in his agency. This promotion doesn't sit well with a lot of people... including Warden himself.

Since a lot of people have had the chance to meet him in the demo, I felt fairly comfortable writing the character synopsis (without worrying too much about misrepresenting him or making apparent contradictions).

On the flip side, I'm a little "ennhhh" about writing the synopsis for the other love interests who haven't been officially introduced in-game.... so that will take a back seat a while.

Today's my first real day back in development, and so far I've spent it replying to emails in regards to editing and GUI screens. It'll be great to get the ball rolling on those fronts. I also have some client work I need to wrap up today, but once that's done I should be able to focus back in on writing Herotome's next scenes. (We're gonna be doing a lot of writing).

We've also uploaded some custom music tracks courtesy of our talented composer, Bright Bone! Their channel is very new and they work super hard, so please check them out and leave some nice comments. :)

While these two tracks aren't in the current demo, they should appear in the next installment of the game.

On another note, I desperately need to Marie Kondo my notes at some point... But ahhh. That day will not be today.

IIII alsooo have a fair amount of messages in my inbox that very much deserve my love and attention. I do read every single notification, so I hope nobody thinks they're typing into a void or that I'm intentionally ignoring their message.

Thank you for taking the time to contact me, and please pardon any delays caused by my limited energy. I hope to be a bit more social soon.

I hope you’re all staying safe and keeping warm.

Much love,

Wudgey
