Transfigure 3D 0.0.1a Release

Published: May 22nd 2023, 12:16:18 am

Hi. Here’s the first Transfigure 3D update. It’s been about five years since I did a Ren’Py demo so there were bound to be issues and that’s why I wanted to release the first bit as kind of a pre-test. The only way to learn is to do it!

The first release was not that great. It was buggy and missing a lot of CG, many of which I accidentally removed in the course of making the various distributions. I also ended up breaking some of the things that earlier worked so it was actually even more broken than my play test indicated. The new build has lots of those missing parts included plus many more and is a much more complete experience. It is still sort of a pre-demo but it is a lot more presentable than the first version and I’m a lot less embarrassed by it.

The player can now properly choose Evan or Drew early on and then go to school, and start Mitch’s route (go home, turn him down, get drunk etc).

To keep raising the quality and consistency level I am trying to do as many full 3D renders and scenes as possible vs the old school visual novel way of having sprites overlaid on top of a 2D background. I think both styles have their place though, so it will probably continue to be a mix.

I’m still not doing detailed patch logs yet because so much is still in flux but here is the gist for this update: I redid many of the early placeholder graphics to make it more consistently immersive from the start. Terrifying no-eyebrows-lady has been replaced. Many of the crashes have been fixed. Dozens of bugs have been squashed. I added many graphics, some new voice acting, and lots of graphical and other fixes.

In regards to the other side of the game, I wrote a bunch of group activities content recently so that will be out in the next html update. I also have a substantial asset upgrade for the next wave of Transfigure 3D content I am trying to sort through and get functioning. Making 3D assets for such a complex project is challenging but it is fun watching it get pieced together!!

Anyway, this is closer to what I wanted to release last round. Thanks in advance for leaving me feedback! Let me know if you thought the Mitch content was hot or not!

Next I am trying to finish some worthy ending CG for the asylum ending and the others I want include in the finished demo.

As always, thank you for your generous support!
