Reduce 3 - Short Credits

Posted by Mejson - May 1st, 2024

Welcome everyone!


First thing:

Time for the slaughter! Eee... I mean Poster XD (greetings to Bott*). This is another tiny Poster regarding the 'Reduce 3' update, but first some general information. I am adding this poster on a special day, because it is May 1! - International Day of Solidarity of Working People around the world has been celebrated since 1890, in memory of striking workers who died during the pacification of marches in Chicago in 1886. The weather also pays tribute to this occasion because it wraps us in the warmth of the sun's rays. As every year, the weather remembers not to disappoint :) Bravo weather! How about the weather? How's your health? I'm fine, although I'm a bit sleepy. I've been working on the 'Reduce 3' project a bit lately, but not much as I've been spending time renovating and improving/decorating my apartment. It looks quite nice and is very pleasant :) It's still strange and new for me, but I'm slowly getting used to it :D It's a pity that no one will visit me this week... but it's hard, it happens sometimes. Anyway... Greetings to everyone!


Main thing:

Now let's get to the main topic. Here's... 'Short Credits', nothing interesting at all :P These are the subtitles that will appear after each episode. And I called it 'Short Credits' because it is actually a shortened version. Basically, this is basic information - the so-called 'who is responsible and for what'. The full (special version) will be after the last scene 18 - with all the information. They will certainly be specific, unique and exciting - with a lot of emotion :P You'll see it someday XD (I hope not in a hundred years, hehe).


In the next Poster I will present... uhh, I don't know actually XD Possibly some elements being created for 'Reduce 3' - such as new insects. I think next time I will present all the varieties (available in Reduce Saga) - Ants (not all of them will be in season 3). Currently, I can inform you that we have - Ant (standard), Zombie Ant (was in season 2) and Fire Ant (will be in season 3). The latter as @ChordC said: "...A species of ants that have red-orange color. More aggressive than the average ants, their stings hurt more due to the acids they produce...". I think this is the most accurate description.


@Cyberdevil@AzureDragoonGX@ChordC@MariogD@SayMeBott@Mazurek@Colizza@XavierDalton@MATRVG@uncookboi@adr3-n? My crew, you can now see it in the project preview - Reduce 3 - Part I!

"You'll see it someday" - I prefer "soon" over “someday”. We need slaughter now! :)
My suggestion for the next poster: episode #1 progress

Hmm, well... I'm currently working on insects. I don't have the inspiration/motivation to make a scene :/

I don't think it's possible...

What is important is not how much you work per day on our projects, only that you don't ever give up! Currently I am taking a small break due to overwork in real life

Don't worry, I'm not giving up :P I'm just focusing on creating other objects, specifically - insects, which will be needed anyway :) Hmm, I'm taking a break because the weather is beautiful and I prefer to spend time outside to enjoy the weather :)

@Mejson I've been taking the good weather (and even rain) for granted lately. Just plugging away at my job and taking a bit to relax. Still working on commissions but not so intensely that it burns me out. I have to find a way to better schedule my tasks -- this is the most frustrating. Lately I've been really sleep deprived and my work schedule has been flipped around something crazy!

Wish me luck also enjoying the outside LOL

I understand, that's good. Because it's obvious. It's good to break away and spend time together. Well... the thing is that I don't feel inspired because I don't have it, well... it's personal :P Well, having too much work is not good either.

Well then, I wish you lots of luck!

Thanks for including my quote here, every progress is still a progress, no matter how small. And I guess labor day holiday is good for your health :p

Cool, sure, it was nice to quote you :) Thanks! It's a hard time to make great progress on our project because I don't feel super inspired and the weather is nice :/ Hehe, maybe Labor Day is good for your health because you don't work XD You don't work - you live longer! :P

You're really upping the ante with the ants now hmm. :)

This looks great, simple's good sometimes, focus on the essentials...

I had no idea May 1 was International Day of Solidarity of Working People actually! We celebrate 'Walpurgis' over here - though we don't call it that ourselves, it's just the nearest translation. It's basically a celebration of Spring, the shift of seasons; the arrival of light... there's some religious tradition around it too, though it goes even further back historically. We dance around fires, it's almost like a New Year kind of celebration. A new start, brighter times ahead...

Happy International Day of Solidarity of Working People too though! :D Seems an all the more noble an intention.

As for health and all all is well over here right now, we definitely did get brighter days too, feels like summer already. :) Hope you get some friends over to check out the new place too, personally I'd probably enjoy living solo for a while, but all things in moderation! Gotta appreciate the people I'm around more too...

Hehehe, maybe I'll raise it :P

Yes, I'm currently focusing on insects :) I think it's worth it! Because these are important elements of 'Reduce 3' XD.

Cool, and hmm... interesting :) Cool, glad you shared it! :)

Thank you! And each other!

It's good that everything is fine with your health :) Yes, beautiful weather often repeats itself! This is important :P Of course... but luckily you can only be disappointed with a person once! XD Hehehe.

Regards!

@ADR3-N Best of luck enjoying the outside also! :)

Have you thought of elemental ants besides fire? My brain immediately went to dark souls and its lightning enemies, like the drakes. Perhaps they gain a static charge by rubbing their legs together. Or maybe that would make better sense for crickets, which the crew could use for travel and be immune to the static if they were touching or riding the cricket

Hmm, these are not elemental ants :P Fire ants really exist :) That's why :) Interesting :P Well... there's nothing more I can add to 'Reduce 3' :/ Unfortunately, we will definitely add to 'Reduce 4' go crazy :) Thanks for the interesting ideas! Regards!

@Mejson Just thinking of the wild things we see in nature and pop culture like zombies! The only thing i think could improve reduce series is to have the images larger on screen relative to the frames for more cinematic feel. Otherwise it rivals many visual novels of its kind!

It's good that you're thinking about wild things! Well, in 'Reduce 4' there will be a mix of different threats - including Zombies - unknown people who have been transformed into Zombies and delivered to the 'set'. Well... changing frames per second may have various consequences and the need to correct existing clips - I don't know yet if it makes sense. No one has complained about the frame rate for some time :P Well, I will move my characters faster during fights. Currently we have 23 frames/s, if I increase it to 30, everything will be super accelerated and I think it will be too fast :/ What do you mean - many visual novels?

@Mejson OH the frame rate is fine. I meant the size of the image -- not sure how else to translate, how wide the images are compared to the background, so that they take up more of the screen

Frame rate good? That's good! The size is 1024 x 768 px, I think it's quite ok, and there will be plenty of space in 'Reduce 3' :) Thanks for the idea - changing the size would have unimaginable consequences for improving the entire interface :/ But thanks for this anyway, I like your ideas!
