  7KOMADA Development Log 3: Trials and Tribulations

  We've been ludicrously busy getting the rest of the internal demo out for testing, and the development log has been slightly delayed as a consequence of that. My apologies!So here's a sneak peek at the third mechanic of each act, the trial system, or Sabor:Each evening, the cast gathers to discuss the day's crime, as well as hunt for the enemy team, the nefarious jannisaries. Depending on the good guys wits, they may manage to nominate and vote out one internal enemy per sabor.However, the people are very stupid, and its your task as the enlightened vanguard to guide them to the right decision based on your findings. This is done in the form of a number of interactions and minigames: I'll show off just an introductory one for now, contradictions : )Hmmmmmm...Pretty straightforward: at key points, you have to identify contradictions in other characters statements.The evidence you gathered in the investigation phase will also come in use here, as you can present it to further your case...As you build the case, the madman's conspiracy-board will fill up, until the sole possible culprit is revealed...!That's the basic gist of the sabor. We won't touch on the inquisition and voting yet, they'd be rather, err, spoilerous.You may also wonder why the term sabor is left untranslated, in a state of keikaku: the trials are not exactly trials, they're congregations which lead into a trial once a candidate is nominated. "Council" would sound unwieldy, and English typically leaves the Russian word for council - soviet - untranslated. It sounds rather pleasant, I like it, okay? That's the kind of guy I am, mhm.Until next time!

  7KOMADA Development Log 2: Investigation

  Each act of 7Komada features one investigation, with the prologue serving as warmup. The mechanics of it are straightforward: You examine a given environment for evidence of the crime. This can range from examining the characteristics of a carpet:...to trudging through bookshelves and poring over the books in search of clues.(not showing you the text buddy)But, how do you know what can and cannot be interacted with? Thankfully, our scientists have found an elegant solution: squinting.If you get lost in the search, you can always hold down ctrl to (≖_≖)This will show the interactable objects highlighted and the rest grayed out... Cool, isn't it? Okay there really isn't too much I can say about this topic without spoilers. I can't really show you the evidence or anything. Consider this a sign that the game is in development. And there's mechanics. Oh, and also, you may have noticed we've been pushing the graphics forward, bit by bit, with the introduction of SSAO and some other improvements...woah-woah-woah. Currently, we are preparing for the major internal demo, hence I've had little time to prepare this log... Nevertheless, i pray you appreciate the few screenshots with it!Until next time, where we will discuss the trial system.

  7KOMADA Development Log 1: Exploration

  Greetings! I'm Vetulicolia, the lead developer of 7KOMADA. I'll keep this brief: it's been a very pleasant first two weeks since we announced the game, and I'm grateful for all the support ^_^Now, let's get to business. We are currently working on an internal demo for July, to iron out everything for a *public* demo later this year. Our goal is to release 7KOMADA in early November, *this year*. The initial launch will feature the first three acts, whereas acts 4/5/6/7 will be free, episodic updates.You can expect devlogs on the core mechanics to arrive in two-week intervals, and after that, only the occasional update leading up to the game release.I'd like to give you an overview of how the game itself works so far, beginning with the core mechanic you will use during every part of the game: pointing and clicking. While 7KOMADA is a VN first, and point-and-click second, we take a great deal of inspiration from classic adventure, point-and-click games in regard to how the player interfaces with the world.7KOMADA uses a more contemporary point-and-flick system, making exploring the mansion and interacting with the cast feel smooth and responsive. The palette of options also makes investigations just a little more "immersive".I've also reworked the icons we had earlier...The mansion is freely traversed: meaning you can walk around and wander the network of rooms, or use the map to hop from point to point (after visiting them once).So, what's it all worth? In 7KOMADA, each act (representing a day) is divided into exploration, investigation and trial segments. In this devlog, we'll focus on *exploration*.Whenever the situation is not dire, you'll be able to freely roam the many rooms of the mansion and interact with the cast. There's secrets to uncover, as well as a number of side-stories to witness. Another key aspect of this phase is getting to befriend characters of your choice, spending time with your classmates and unlocking extra tidbits of their story. Perhaps som...
