Today, we want to share a bit more about the development process of Perseverance: Part 2 and what's happening behind the scenes.
We are really happy with how the game is taking shape! In today's devlog we're going to give a quick recap of what Perseverance: Part 2 from the other side looks like.
Let's start with some basic information:
In case you didn’t know, Perseverance is inspired by stories like “Night of the Living Dead”, “28 Days Later”, “Revival”, scandinavian crime stories such as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and most of all – “The Walking Dead” comic series.
Genre - Visual Novel Game structure - Episodic game Technology - Unity & Fungus
Have you ever wondered what the process of making a game looks like? Having many elements, they should be put together into a whole, which results in a ready-made game. Sounds banal and simple - but unfortunately, it’s a real challenge. Still, a fun one.
Getting to the point - let's take a quick look at what a typical day for our programmer looks like.
To put it simply: our colleague, having access to graphic assets, the whole plot, sound files, and feature lists, combine everything into one. His task is to determine where each element should appear in the game, who says what, what will cause a given answer, or when we will hear a gunshot. In fact, he decides when the game scares you and when does it make you laugh.
Moving on, the graphics below show the process of creating a background - which (besides the story of course) is a crucial element in visual novel games.
Our team of talented young artists spends a lot of time on each background. First of all, we need a sketch for each background. Then there’s a 3D render, which (unfortunately) does not mean putting blocks on the screen. The process is complicated and requires finding the right camera angle, lighting, and composition.
Once our 3D artist has created the conditions and added complex 3D meshes (models), he must set the right light. In this way, the light will be reflected differently on wood and differently on stone. The goal is for you to notice what is important and to feel the atmosphere of the story.
And that's it for today's Devlog. We hope you enjoyed this little peek behind the scenes! Hit add to wishlist button, to be up to date.
Today we will give you an insight into the story that will be presented in the second part of our game.
As we described in the previous post here and Perseverance: Part 2 devlog #1, the second part tells the story of Karen Stamp.
Karen will have to face the chaos that will soon haunt the sleepy town. Fate will test her ability to deduce, establish relationships, and the proven rules of conduct that no one can be trusted. In the mysterious town of Grey Ville, she appears suddenly and unexpectedly.
Her main task will be to track down Jane, a girl who is very important to the agency. I am sure you know who I am talking about. Karen's story is really dark and full of turning points - it will give you long and engaging gameplay.
In the game, you will find out a lot about Karen's past. You will know her secrets and the reasons why she became who she is today. I cannot tell you too much, because you have to know this dark and mysterious world yourself.
Other characters will also play an important role, but I will tell you more it in the next post.
What was your favorite character from part one? And why? We are really curious! Hit add to wishlist button, to be up to date.
We are more than happy to share this news with you. We are nearly ready to release Perseverance: Part 2.

We have made huge progress since the first part was released. During this time, we have worked with all our might to create something more for you. Now the game is bigger has better visuals and even more gripping story.
The official release for Perseverance: Part 2 is scheduled for early Q1 2021.
This time you can play as Karen, a female assassin working for the ‘Agency’ on a hunt for a mysterious girl in the distant town of Grey Ville. Once Karen dives deeper and deeper into the community, she learns about things she shouldn't know.

Dear gamers!
Perseverance: Part 1 has been successfully launched on July 23rd.
It took us a lot of effort and nerves to deliver it on time as our indie team is small but we believe that it was worth it. During last hours before launch we did some text corrections and added small bits here and there ;-)
Please, feel free to leave your reviews once you get to play the whole game. We'd love to hear from you!
Enjoy!
