Hello hello students!! Here is an offering from the anime club: an early premiere of Trish's character sheet! I will also let you in on a little secret: Trish was the first character to ever be sketched for GVH, and she went through A LOT of iterations. Oh! Before you head out, don’t forget your dessert! The special newsletter treat this month comes from Goodbye Volcano High’s Art Director herself, the one and only Lulu! Ok, Marty out! Bye dinos!

So… ok ya so it’s nothing like Squid Game. So ya, this is like, our Squid Game? Except everybody wins, oh and also there’s no death. Our day one Discord users will remember the Halloween games from last year, where Rosa the Good Witch and Count Naser depended on our wonderfully helpful Discord users for help on all sorts of haunting tasks! This year, the Discord is still haunted, but we’re keepin’ it simple, spirits! Join us in the KO_OP Discord on October 31st, in the #haunted-hideaway, for a little round of trick-or-treat! You’ll get a Discord sticker for your sticker-book, but you’ll also be entered to win a prize pack of GVH merch!!! Yes you heard that right, one beloved Discord user will receive our upcoming Fang-centric merch pack, which comes with two sticker sheets, a pin, and a patch! Just a note for those previously-referenced day one Discord users: if you got all 6 stickers last year, there's a brand new one for you to collect!) So that’s the status report! Reply to this email or let us know in the Discord what you’re most interested to know about from the game so that we can work on some behind the scenes content for you! Rosa spent so much time and energy getting the most beautiful assortment of plants up there, you wouldn't believe it. Have I ever shown you the roof, by the way? The Volcano High roof? Oh, it’s beautiful. Well, more on that later! The background team's spent the past month focused on Volcano High (I'm not being intentionally obtuse here, I mean like literally backgrounds of the highschool). How’s the art team doin’? The character art team has been hard at work on extras… extras who I heard y’all were interested in seeing more of.

What's currently on the docket: the affinity system between Fang and all the game’s characters!!! (*shaking with excitement*) The design team spent time prepping a document detailing the interaction archetypes and working on their integrations in the game. When automation is flowing, it makes all of the other departments’ jobs so much easier! One major element we've been working on is pipeline automation, which implicates narrative, storyboarding, and programming. Worry not: vacations are either currently occuring or on the horizon.

Very special shout out to our tech team, who for the past few months has been fully honed in on getting these goals met. Howdy dinos, and Happy Halloween! We're coming to you live from the spookiest place on Earth: YOUR INBOX!!Īfter we reached a major milestone at the beginning of September, there were a few heavy-duty weeks of game performance assessment (both in-engine and in-game), and we locked in some features. View attachment 2633384This pic sums it up: Soon after that whole mess, they patched it out.Īnd what do ya know, a few people (or a couple of them samefagging) were still salty as fuck about it and doomposting about how it ruined the game, how the devs totally couldn't handle the backlash and the NTR stuff was their true vision, and how the game is RUINED FOREVER!!! Then it turns out that the lines were joke ones and were accidentally left in the game since Ren'py can be shit at times.Īlthough he denies writing the lines himself and says that yeah, they were meant to be removed.

You know that NTR drama earlier in the thread? Well, that topic just came back up with a fiery passion.
