Cross Realm Progress Report #1
Added 2024-05-15 12:03:06 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone,
I'm here with an update on what's been happening behind the scenes of Cross Realm. Here's what I've been up to lately:
Current Progress:
With the current script of Chapter II, my estimation is that version 0.2 will have a little over 3000 images. Based on that estimation, I can calculate the percentage of work done:
Render: 1541/3000+ images
Code: About 30%
Asset: 40%. These are the 3D models in the game. Usually, I sketch these out first, then when the rendering process is catching up, I will model or find assets that fit the original sketch.
Here are unreleased areas of the Cross Realms world:
The Sect Potion Making Hall.
The Sect Grand Arena - Early Layout build.
If you're interested in seeing my drawing sketches, let me know in the comment. I will arrange them for the next report.
What Should You Expect from the New Version:
Better quality render, animation... Because I have improved a bit with the experience I gained from making Chap I.
Overhaul the UI: I am not satisfied with the 0.1.1 version UI. Originally in 0.1.0, the game was made in UE4 which has a much more refined UI, so my goal for this version is to at least recreate the UI from that version.
New game mechanics: mini-games, inventory system,...
This Chapter will focus more on the story so the NSFW scenes will be less.
What's Next:
Currently, due to my daytime job, I have to work overtime some nights. These next few weeks, the progress will be slowed down a bit. But I'm still trying to keep this project going at a steady speed (5-6%/week). I know it will take a while, but I hope everyone can hang on till then.
Here's my timeline estimation:
Chapter II completion: July - August.
Public release: 15-20 days after completion. This is because I need time to proofread, port to other platforms. After that, it will be released to the Qi Mastery Tier, then Qi Harmony Tier.
Keep the excitement going, and thank you for your patience and support!
Best, DuskDuck
