[WeeklyDevLog#9] Concept of Syuzanna, and an alpha release planned for soon.


Hello there, Robertoz here.

Well, as it's already December 21st, Merry Christmas to all of you !

Today I can present you a new concept, it's our PTRS Anti-Tank Rifle bearer of the 67th Guards Division, Syuzanna Zimin ! I very much liked the idea of her having a weapon this much bigger than her. Historically, the PTRS-41 rifle is about two meters long, while she's barely under 150cm. Her uniform and sweet face are mostly reminding of Irena, but she gets those purple eyes and such a cute faaace. Yes, I am overwhelmed.

Next character to be coming is Natasha, our well-informed sniper.

Story-wise, I think I will reduce greatly the location span and time span in general, by having perhaps a great majority of events in the Main Camp. Why ? Well for three main reasons. First we would be able to keep interactions with the other characters on the routes, as in all others, rather than separating on different campaign. Second, well I certainly underestimated the length of writing, and the amount of script already present, so I likely don't want to spread too much in time and make a way too long narration. The third and maybe more personal reason is the financial aspect. I've been put in contact with several artists already, and most aren't matching the prices I presumed. So well, if I'm getting the price up, I have to reduce the amount of backgrounds involved, naturally. But that is something I will ponder in the near future.

Finally, I'll be releasing an alpha update on Christmas 25th, if possible at 12AM UTC+2, and I will do my best to integrate a gallery. I also discovered that generally, a copyright lasts 70 years. So well, maybe I use some soviet songs from back during the war.

See you next week !
