Today’s post celebrates the completion of RE:H’s final route (Markus), as well as all the sprite artwork!
We have an exciting update for you today! Two major milestones have been reached…
Markus Route: Completed!
The third and final route of RE:H is complete! Markus coasted to a fantastic finale this week.
They don't even serve refreshments.
How do you think your journey with Markus will end? Or–will it ever end?
After all, the journey's more important than the destination.
So what’s next for the script?
- Finishing the common route (currently at ~60%)
- Side conversations and scenes
- Editing/polishing script for the three routes
In the next two weeks, Dovah will be able to move onto the last major step: programming! This takes much less time than writing and will go very swiftly.
You can look forward not only to seeing a final word count, but also screenshots of in-game scenes, at last!
Sprites: Completed!
All sprites are complete! With the last backer character finished this week, we’ve ended with a whopping:
- 11 main characters (12 including MC)
- 7 minor/backer characters
- Lots of head, arm, and full body pose variations
- Tons of expressions (´_ゝ`)
- Accessory changes for some characters
Sh00’s amazing efforts have created a diverse, colorful set of sprites that fit their characters beautifully. We can’t wait for you to see them all!
What’s next to finish for art? CGs! (More details soon)
Final Backer Character
Enjoy a sneak peek of the last backer character–a charming fellow who might take two playthroughs to completely understand…
Also, he has fantastic hair.
Ask answers
More questions from our Ask Box for you this week! Feel free to send in your queries about anything RE:H or AG related.
Q: Does the House your character belongs to determine which mentor you can choose?
A: Nope! You can choose any mentor with any House character. You’ll also get some interesting text (and maybe choice) variations based on your House for each route, so try out different combinations!
However, each mentor’s “special ending” can only be achieved with a character of the same House. You might want to save the matching playthrough for last~
Q: Does Markus ever use his … merchandise?
A: Markus has, in fact, already answered this question in a live Discord Q&A (full transcript here).
