FEBRUARY DEVLOG - 2

Though it'd be fun to showcase a little bit of my portrait process, even if it's not specific! Anyways, it's time for the fourth DEVLOG...and...

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

I got sick. I am still sick. This unfortunately has thrown a wrench in my productivity despite my best efforts. March release will still be possible, it just probably won't be as early as I was originally hoping, sadly. I hope I'll be back to full productivity soon. On the bright side, basically all contributions made by others are complete, so everything left to do is just on me. The list is a lot but I chose to do 85% of the mod, so it is on me to see it through!

That's why, rather than listing progress this week, I'll just list everything that still needs to be done.

THINGS LEFT TO DO:

General writing is complete, I just need to do some more flavor text and a bunch of NPC dialogue to certain locations that got completed later on.

There's a couple bits of sprite art, but barely any. Most of that is completely done.

There is only one more map to be made. A super small one! :D

Three music tracks are still pending. The full OST for the PRELUDE (including the 8 from the DEMO) is 48 tracks! I named them all recently it was very fun. Everyone worked hard!

Cutscene writing is complete up until a certain point. There's only one more section that needs writing. But, a lot of cutscenes still need to be programmed, so I really hope I can get better soon so I can do all of that. There's also other general programming to be done that I need to get around to.

BASIL real world portraits are done. SUNNY's are not. He doesn't need as many as BASIL, though.

I still have a couple NPCS to hand draw. Nothing fancy, though.

Badges all need to be made and then implemented. Wish me luck, there's quite a few!

After that, the playtest will be able to be sent off to people to bugtest while I then continue onto:

Drawing three whole cutscenes. Two on the longer side, one shorter.

(If time allows) A still image of DREAMER holding a thing! (Its a secret)

A certain separate thing needs to be completely written, then have a bunch of things drawn for it.

Credits video!!! Very important!!!!!

After everything above is implemented, I need to draw the additional art for the trailer...

CONCLUSION:

Hoping I can get back on track soon. I'm still sick and I'm frustrated about that. I'm really hoping I get better soon, as it's really set me behind on my intended schedule. Still, the goal is for full PRELUDE release in March, and I believe it's completely possible as long as I recover sooner than later. I know it might seem like a lot, but I did the DEMO all on my own. Trust me! March release is the plan! And the help I did get with sprite art (so many npcs!!!), OST(so many tracks...), some maps, and being able to ask people questions about programming when I'm lost has been absolutely wonderful. I wouldn't have been able to do everything on my own this quickly.

Though, I do hope after PRELUDE and I revamp the signups, I'll get even more help, because the plans for the future are quite hefty haha. I'll scale back if I need to, of course. Either way, I'm really excited, even if I am anxious and want it out ASAP. I'm so excited for everyone to see what THE DREAMER is truly going to be like!

MERRY OMORIVERSARY!!!! ☀️

You don't have to agree with me of course, but this is the best game ever made. Nearly three years ago now, I wasn't even allowed to even mention this game in my household, now I can say I have an extensive collection and had the opportunity to attend Gallery Nucleus, my dream event. I understand not everyone has these privledges and opportunities, so I will continue to make art for fans who dont have access to these things. Or kids who were like me, who weren't allowed to play this wonderful game. Those kids are my reason to pursue these comics. You must have hope, and believe that good things will come to you eventually!

I am eternally grateful for all that this fandom has done for me, whether it be the memories I cherish, timeless jokes, or breathtaking fanart all around. Thank you for sticking by my side for so many years, and hopefully many more to come. But more importantly, thank you for playing OMORI! I may not have met so many amazing people like you if we hadn't.

Thank you Omocat and team for making a masterpiece over the course of seven years. And finally, thank you to the fans for carrying on that legacy. This game belongs only to those who truly love it.

HI THERE ;)! My name's Kautar, I'm a young artist who's looking for experience and skills, I have commissions open, please DM me if you are interested!

Set about two days after the scene depicted here . I can never remember which door is the main door - oops.

The shirt Stanley is wearing is one he borrowed from Ford - I spent 2 hours researching the history of NASA merchandise before realising that it does not really matter if the logo is timeperiod accurate (it is) because the alternate universe theory is alive and well.

Pretty sure I officially hate drawing trees now, though. :( Ugh.

(Yes, there IS a Bigfoot reference in this comic.)
