Exclusive dev update of No escape: Game edition! (350)

Evening peeps, ol’ Scriptor here with the latest dev newssssss!

Game development:

I’m almost done implementing the S.O.P.H.I.A. sidequest into the game! I wrapped up the implementation of the assembly line bad end last Monday, and the mini-boss battle against the agent drone yesterday. So stuff’s been moving along on a nice pace this week!

I’ve also implemented all of the new 2D maps for S.O.P.H.I.A.’s side quest into the game; which will take Kathleen to a part of the factory she hasn’t visited before: The so-called “R&D: Operations” section of the factory! This part is a bit of an oddball inside the factory since it isn’t focused on making adult toys; but instead cutting-edge tech used for corporate espionage. S.O.P.H.I.A.’s been quite interested in that research too; and ever since her take over of the factory she’s been running her own experiments there... Though one went a bit haywire; which is where Kathleen comes in to help!

I’ve written/implemented about ~70% of the side-quest’s main event chain, and still need to do basically all the fluff (background lore logs and stuff). Though I expect to have it all fully implemented tomorrow if the current (good) pace keeps up. Also after some (or rather a lot of) deliberation I’ve decided to move the planned “major story scene” to the next dev cycle: Since due to it’s placement in the game’s story (and this build’s content being a bit all over the place) I’m afraid that some players might miss it otherwise. So I’d rather open the next build V0.34.1 with that scene; which basically ensures that everybody will see it. 💪

Time for the teasers!

Teasers:

And today I’ve got in-game teasers of S.O.P.H.I.A.’s side-quest for you folks! Starting off with Kathleen entering the R&D: Operations wing, she’s met with a rather worrying sight...

While exploring the wing’s various testing rooms; coming across something “special” quite quickly! Luckily for Kathleen it seems like it isn’t initially hostile to her...

...Though that might change rather quickly. >;3

And that’s all for this dev update folks, I’ll see you all at the next one this Sunday!

Greetz,

Scriptor
