That's kind of a red flag for the other streamer to get offended over something like that.
A normal person wouldn't care if you were using other streamer's emotes.

Anyone else get annoyed or bothered when watching a let's play and the streamer actively goes "Not reading that." to notes then complaining later on they don't know what's going on/or how to do a gameplay mechanic? No? Just me?

Problem is I'm not very expressive even in text so I would never reply with something like that. So I hope a simple "Thank you very much." was enough to show I did like. If not...then I probably have upset more artists than I can imagine. 😓

Trying out sync attacks. It's a bit harder to implement with current enemy logic but I think I can get it working. A little bit of clipping too but I'll see what I can do.

One thing I despise about family when it comes to game dev is all they care about is the money:
"When are you getting money for it"
Me: "It's not even out yet."
"Well, when is it out."
Me:"I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know when your own game is coming out."

So this is Marina. The main maid in my game and the one who was chasing you in the OG Unity game. She is the equivalent of a water bender and has a noticeable slav accent. She's in the remake too of course but joined by another I may reveal down the line. She's a kuudere too. 🧊

Funny idea that came into my mind a few days ago after telling everyone the sentinels were dumb asf. What do you think? Should it be a feature? 🤣

I decided to make drawers interactable too but deciding what to put in there that's useful is a bit hard. Cos yeah. A sandwich like that looks kinda weird. lol Any suggestions for a consumable of some kind to make scrounging around worth while? 😅

(1/2) Here's a small glimpse of how the maid's AI works. When pursuing you, if you block the door she will remember it for later. Meanwhile, she will go for the shortest alternate route to you not knowing if you blocked those too.

Mathilde's pretty much done. So is Marina. So decided to work a bit on the new resident librarian. Originally she was using fire as per VA's preference but depending how far I go with my plot, I may have someone else use fire. So for the moment experimenting with shadow instead.

Lately while scrolling through Twitter, I've come across so many really talented game devs that do such amazing things that put me to literal shame then see they don't have anywhere near the amount of followers they should be having. Makes me sad but also self aware so I RT them.
11

I've successfully optimized the statue puzzle since the last video. It also works okay with the fixed camera angle system but there's still a bit of jank in this camera style. So it's very likely for the demo, I will not include it as a camera option. Full version will have tho.

85
The UI thing/Setting thing has made me a little cross eyed as of late so took a small break and tried to add an AFK thingie for when you haven't pressed anything in a while. Still a clunky looking sure but if people like it, I'll improve on it. If not, I'll take it out.

I just couldn't resist when I saw this was one of the animations in a pack I bought. 😂

Weirdly enough the walking animation causes a minor head bob. I don't think it's too bad but anyone think it'll make them ill? If so, I can see what I can do to remove it completely.

Day 3 of testing on the side. I always wondered how some games do that satisfying head explode when you headshot them. While I couldn't find an exact tutorial on how to do this I found enough info to think up a way of doing so. This may not be the best method but it kinda works?

Since it's still saturday for me, I'll post a small update. Been doing a lot of work on the maid's chasing logic and implemented a suspicion meter. Stuff like how close you are, if you're holding a light source, etc will fill quicker.

Nothing too impressive this saturday. Been working on the interaction system. Since first person is much more precise by looking directly at what you want to interact with, I had to tweak the 3rd person to be able to toggle between a couple of interactables

Yes, basically a force choke animation but still gonna adapt it to my own lore. Technically she doesn't even need to wait for you to be wet since human body is comprised of water already but it requires more effort than for someone who is already drenched.
Tldr: Don't get wet.🌊

You know you don't have to inform me you're not buying the game. It's a very weird thing to do ngl. Is it supposed to upset me or something?

One interesting thing about enemies in a lot of games is that they can't reach you in some locations. Sometimes as simple as standing on a table just because their nav mesh doesn't permit them to get over it to get you. So they stand like lemons looking at you. Well Marina won't.

So 1751 downloads already? 🤔Pretty decent if that's the case.
Wishlists have started moving again which is nice. A few more deletions too but that's the double edged sword of demos. They can potentially not live up to one's expectations.

Those who played my game jam entry might remember that enemies could harm each other. I brought it back. 😏

Update of the week: I think I finally got the inventory, the UI for the inventory, the quick slot system and the filter by item type to all work together in harmony. Yes not very exciting but it's important stuff.

For the text boxes, I have noticed a lot of other devs go for a more simplistic and straight forward black box approach. For reference, I did mine to look more like a visual novel/J-RPG which I guess might have come across as a bit gaudy in the OG. lol
Which do you prefer?

Started working on the system where she checks hiding spots. Need some tweaking still but the base works so far. This should work no problem with hiding under bed too. Managed to figure this one out myself too. I must be finally improving. 🤖

Even tho I'm ill, I've been working a bit more on the level design. Also added an experimental mechanic of blocking doors which works as you can see. But the maid is smart enough to find another way to get to you regardless.

Took a bit longer than anticipated. Wasn't a fault of my code but an issue with the animations. But, yeah it's working now.
This is for demonstration, they normally need 8 hits to be downed and they usually will be out for like 5 mins rather 5 seconds. 😁

Unfollowed a few accounts just now (inactive, bot, etc) but weirdly I noticed a couple of times accounts I remember clearly seem to have completely different content to what they used to. Almost like it's a different person running the account now.
Anyone else notice this?

That size difference tho

Also she will have her own moveset. Atm she's using the same one as Marina's while I'm testing things.

Thought I'd try a screenshot of the character model with a few oil painting filters thrown on with Gimp. Do you think it's good enough for background filler?
She seems nice enough from the painting too, right? 😏

While I'm figuring out Marina's more complex AI, I decided to set up the armor sentinel's AI which is thankfully way more simple since they're dumb asf. 🤣They couldn't open doors in the OG game (by choice.) But, I'm wonder if they should be able to open doors this time. 😏
7

70
Messed around with the shader so I can turn the sentinel's eyes "on and off". Think it's a better indication when they're active since by default they were always lit up even when not moving. Kinda already told the player something was up.
Wanted something other than red too.

Changed the translation for one of the slightly stronger swears Mathilde has so it's not so harsh. It's still relatively in context accurate tho so don't worry. 🤓(Since the section with Mathilde, you play the young Islene and not the male demo MC here. So "brat" makes sense.

Tried my first iteration of a puzzle based on the one in Resident Evil Village. Not very optimized for the moment and the statues are placeholder but seems to be working. Will improve on it shortly.

I also decided finally that there should be an inventory system instead of the single object holding system like Granny which works better in smaller locations. So the examining is now from there rather than when you first interact with the item.

Think I mentioned a day or so again, I was working on the bow and arrow mechanics. Well I actually lost a bit of progress yesterday due to a fuck up. lol Got it more or less back to where I got today tho. Still needs lots of tweaking but not a bad start.

11
65
Since you can now jump in the remake (yes amazing mechanic I know 🤣. I had my reasons for leaving it out in the OG. Mostly not skilled enough to cover every issue it could cause. 😅), I guess I should add crouching too right? Not that you can escape her in narrow areas.

If you don't understand French, might be for the best, cos she's being very angry. lol

"HA! GOT EMMM!" 😂
Like I said. It would work with beds too. I don't have the right animations for it yet but I'll have more specific ones based on which hiding spot she's checking.

64
Haven't posted about this in a while since I paused work on it. But the annoying need to get those physics working led me to look into it again.
Now it's still not perfect since some clipping still but it's leaps ahead of what I had ages ago. This was using KawaiiPhysics.

It's funny how polishing and fixing tends to take twice as long as laying the foundations of a system but hey ho. Added a pistol and separate ammo types and what not.

Here's a preview of Mathilde's new VA in action as well experimental dialogue system that'll do animations for some lines. What do you think of Mathilde's new voice? 👀
Also better quality video link in the comments since Twitter always kills the quality.

Someone needs to give this sentinel a hand. He's not looking too good and will never be ahead of his target now.
This is more testing since I will feature damaged ones later in the story who will still continue to protect the house.
Question is what left them in this state?👻

I notice any time I stick my nose out of the game dev part of Twitter I immediately am reminded why I was originally apprehensive about becoming more active here when I see all the toxicity everywhere. Imma hide back in my corner now.

Don't really have any shooting animations for most of the guns (could pulled them out of the Lyra example project Unreal got up) but decided to go with the more procedural route using IK which also fixes some of the iffy hand positions. Seems ok so far, less annoying than Unity.

61
Since I'm still not sure how to get actual lipsync working with the models, I tried something of a workaround method for the moment. It's not the best but it beats no mouth movement during dialogue imo.
12

61
I've done what I can for the new QTE contextual so now I need to put up the new build later today so playtesters can see what new bugs they come across after all the new stuff added. Cos I'm sure there'll be a few.
But, closer to public demo at least since less barebones.

61
Trying to make the QTE system more modular since it was tied to the fishing. Almost got it so any actor that needs to do QTEs can just run it through the same component.
Haven't decided yet what penalty you suffer from the maids if you fail. Discussing it with a few people atm.

I mentioned off hand that one of the problems I had recently was with a model. To the point I wasn't sure if I can still even use it. I'm happy to say that thanks to

@filopuk
also offered to help with the issue, that she has been fixed.

Not quite there and it doesn't yet work with her chasing or reverting back to normal form but I'm liking this so far. It def looks more like one of her inspirations here than it did in the Unity one where she looked more like she beamed in. lol I added SFX so u know who inspo is.

@horrorvisuals
Thanks for hosting. Mine is still prototypish but pretty much finished scripting all the system based stuff for my old style survival horror here:
Some actual game play from that side project. It'll play mostly like classic early Resident Evil/Silent hill for most of it. On occasion, you will be chased by a scary killer that you HAVE to run from and it'll be its view.

but I added closets you can hide in after some players of the OG asked for them. Needs a bit of tweaking to AI tho since she can still see you. (Or maybe you haven't showered and she's actually smelling u)😅

People probably don't realize my current build is a new project after the old one got corrupted after too many engine updates. So I've slowly been putting everything back in piece by piece. Recently put back the projectiles each maid uses.

Here's the last and least impressive Unity project I was messing around with till I jumped over to Unreal. It was a semi attempt at retrying the space survival horror game I showed a few weeks back. But, Unity's animation rigging system for aiming drove me up the wall. Bleh.

This took so looonnnngg. I think setting up the checks and removing from the inventory took more time than just creating the item from the needed ingredients. I think it's all solved from my checks so fingers crossed later something else related to it doesn't bite me in the butt.

If only I could think of a valid world/lore reason to have this in the game. 😂

Not all hiding spots do a good job at actually hiding you. 😏
PS: Ignore the text to speech aussie accent all of a sudden. I don't have her normal VA on call at any time and this line was not originally planned. 😅

One of the biggest complaints I got from the OG was if you were cornered, you were done. So I added a shove option to the new game. You can't spam it but it'll get you out of a pinch when you need it most. :3

Been asked a few times now why I don't promote the game more. Or my socials where you can support me. The simple reason is that I still don't think what I've done is "good enough" to really push more. I recognize improvements but it's still not at that stage I'm happy with yet.
