There'll be more in today's blog post, doing it soon

I like the word. I fear I will spend much too much time trying to reach this one. Makes me very interested in seeing all the things which can go wrong ... or ... "accidently", of course ... making them happen.

Though some other like "buried underneath" or "public execution" sound like fun, too.

I coded more scenes today, some are really... ugh
I mean, I know that there's this trend in book/tv series/movies to depict cruel scenes, killing, etc but it's not my cup of tea, personally. Anyway, I'm really curious to see people's reaction for this game. Is without doubt the most "mature" game I ever made, but reading some scenes disturbed myself too
I think will make this game over 18, even if there isn't any particular gorey artwork or anything.

Tanya old vs new. I put the angry expression because I thought was... cute

just my opinion on the new tanya, her nose is very thin and small and gives a pinched kind of look to the face, I kind of like the old face shape of tanya. She also looks a bit too human now with no noticeable robot elements. I like how on the old one you could see on her arms there is like a synthetic join mark or something. The fashion also seems a bit less futuristic and more normal what we would wear today, I kind of liked the fashion style of the first game, just some thoughts

Well in any case, no way to change the sprite (or anything else) in the game now, too close to completion

Oh, I get it, it's just not really a word that rolls off the tongue. Or makes all that much sense. I mean, "earthicide" isn't much of a word either.

I played Corpse Party last year, and have Book of Shadows waiting for me, so I think I'm looking forward to seeing the darker side of Winter Wolves. The first game had its darker moments too, though maybe my imagination filled in a lot of extras for that.

Believe me it's not even comparable to the first one for dark moments for example in the first one I never describe accurately killing someone. I don't know really, I'll look forward to the feedback since personally I don't like some scenes because are too cruel, but maybe is just personal tastes.

If you recall Blade Runner, which seems a rather large inspiration for the game, there is a scene where Roy Batty finally meets his creator/God Tyrell. It is rather unpleasantly graphic, but also intense and serving a point. If this is where we're at, it sounds good. If it seems random and pointless, not so much.

No it's not random... The person who dies well deserves it IMHO. Anyway, will be better to talk about it when the game is finished, hopefully soon
