Welcome back Volunteers! This announcement is simply a brief update on what's been going on behind the scenes and a showcase of the new outfits coming in the ending phase!
Since the phase 5 release a month or two back, I've been pretty quiet on what's been going on with The Series Test, but you'll be happy to know I've been hard at work on the endings and getting everything ready for the full release, which will be the next update. Hopefully this won't be too long now.
As far as the endings go, there is roughly about 10 unique endings per replica. This is all based off the affinity system, giving you either a good or bad end based off relationship, then also being matched with what you chose in phase 5 will give various endings. (Not including Kiyomi and Alma)
Take Freya as a rough example with this:
If you have a good affinity with Freya you'll get a good end; but, if you choose 'option 1' in phase 5 you will get 1 unique version good ending, but if you chose 'option 2' you'll get placed on a different unique good ending. Same with bad and bad endings affinity. And then this will change again based on who you're dating and what you've done throughout. (The example below doesn't include any 'double ends' with two replicas as Freya doesn't have any. Not any what are set up on her side at least.)
- Good affinity + Option 1 = Ending 1
- Good affinity + Option 2 = Ending 2
- Bad affinity + Option 1 = Ending 3
- Bad affinity + Option 2 = Ending 4
- Extremely Good affinity + Option 1 = Secret Ending
- Good affinity + Option 1 + Dating Alleyne = Ending 5
- Good affinity + Option 2 + Dating Alleyne = Ending 6
- Bad affinity + Option 1 + Dating Alleyne = Ending 7
- Bad affinity + Option 2 + Dating Alleyne = Ending 8
- Good affinity + Jordana/Cherry Lose Route = Ending 9
- Bad affinity + Jordana/Cherry Lose Route = Bad Ending
- Freya was First Eviction and took the Ghost route? = Freya 'Ghost' End.
Hopefully this makes some sort of sense and explains why creating the endings is taking so long as its not a case of 1 end per replica. I think all in all there's about 62 unique ends... But this can change. Already I've got most of the Alleyne version of the endings done and I've completed Cherry's date route.
Plus, I didn't make an announcement on this, but for those of you who haven't already seen, I recently went back and re-rendered the first date sequence between Alma and Freya. Which included a new outfit for each of them and 2 new video renders for the scene, plus other little fixes.
Alma and Freya's 'romance' scene was the first full video render I ever did and I was never really too happy with how it looked, so now my skills have improved, I've gone back and corrected this. Along with a few Cherry and Alleyne renders too. I'll showcase this below also.
Unless this next update takes a drastically long time, which I hope it shouldn't, this will be the last announcement before the next release. So if anyone has any ideas or comments which you think will improve the game before full release, please drop them in the comments because I'd love to hear nay suggestions.
All of the pictures below are 4k, so feel free to open and save if you want. Freya's date new render is first compared to the identical old one after.
