Profiler's Log #4: Unexpected Joys
I know, I know, it's been a while since I last dropped you a line, sorry about that. To make it up to you, let me tell you a bit about how I work on Profiler Files.You probably know this already, but every creative process is paved with pitfalls and surprises, quite a few of them self-inflicted — at least in my case. The pace of progress, especially when writing dialogue and jokes, is anything but steady. You can prepare a nice, detailed synopsis, know exactly where you're going and how to get there, and it still goes off the rails most of the time. Right in the middle of a scene you've carefully prepared and planned, a spontaneous idea pops up and turns all that neat preparation upside down. Sometimes it goes away just as fast, once you think about it a bit and realize, no, that doesn't work. But sometimes it works so well that you HAVE to include it. Even if it means reworking a bunch of other stuff, already done or still to come. Why put yourself through that extra work? Simple: for you.Well, a bit for myself too, honestly, because as a player, I think I'd love for that to happen during my own playthrough. And if it's great for the player, then it has to be there. No matter how much work it takes. No matter if only 5% of players will ever see it. No matter if it took forever to set up and only amounts to 5 seconds of gameplay.I really am dying to give you examples, but that would mean spoiling things for you. So for now, I have to stay vague (but we'll be able to talk about it freely once the game is out, on the Profiler Files forum, I promise). So just tuck this away somewhere in the back of your mind, so it comes back to you when you stumble on it while playing. Right now, it means nothing to you, but in the moment, there's a good chance it'll click:An object to click on during a search where you think "It'd be so great if this were usable." It is.Vacation photos. Not planned from the start, but ones that instantly felt obvious.Text replaced with little drawing...Read full article on Community Announcements (d.choquet)Patch NotesOfficial
Roadmap update!
Hey everyone!And that's another one in the bag! We just finished the final lock on Episode 6, which means we’re moving into an intense testing phase for this new chapter while simultaneously prepping the next one.Checking all the narrative branches and variations is pretty complex on this new episode, since it has the most ramifications and different endings we've done so far. As always, there are no dead ends, but you can definitely expect different consequences depending on the outcome you reach.We're getting closer and closer to the Early Access launch, which is still on track for this year. Who knows, maybe we'll even drop it in November, just to steal GTA 6's thunder 😊Read full article on Community Announcements (d.choquet)AnnouncementsOfficial
Have you met Vince?
Hey, everyone, Just a quick update from the development front — Episode 6 is almost done — we still have to craft carefully its different outcomes and wrap up the last details. As a little bonus, here's a sneak peek at one of the wonderfully unhinged characters waiting for you in there.Read full article on Community Announcements (d.choquet)
