Plans, updates, thoughts and stuff.
🕑 Added 2022-09-20 06:03:50 +0000 UTCWell, it's been a few days since the release. I even got some patrons (thanks, guys!). I guess it's time to share my plans so you know what to expect.
Updates.
I plan to post each new chapter as it gets ready, not little partial updates (well, except for bug fixes or small improvements, I guess). Each chapter is a separate story, with a global storyline running through them.
My idea is to give you, the players, control over the protagonist at interesting and turning points in her adventures, rather than a tedious simulation of the daily routine or boring grind activities.
I estimate that each chapter will take ~ 2-4 months to complete under normal conditions. That's not a promise, that's my rough estimate. Different chapters will have different sizes as well, so the time may vary.
- Hey, why so long?
Because of the complex dialog structure, narrative, and unique content for different Origins - all of this takes damn time and effort to work through. But I think it's worth it.
Another factor could seriously affect the schedule for new chapters. Namely, Ukraine. Yes, I'm from Ukraine. As you can guess, I'm not comfortable giving any firm deadlines under these circumstances. Anything can happen, not necessarily anything too dramatic, for example, I may just not have electricity or internet for a while. The only thing I’m sure of is my desire to tell the intended story.
Feedback.
For now, the game's page on F95zone will be the main place for discussion, questions, and more. There's something charming about the forum format. Good old ways ^^
- Will there be news here on the Patreon page?
Well, yeah, sure. I'm thinking something like monthly progress reports on this or that chapter. Maybe even with screenshots from the finished part without critical spoilers. Something like that.
What I'm doing now.
Trying to recover. Yeah, managed to get sick on the second day after the game release, huh, that's just perfect timing... Now, I'm finally feeling a little better, at least the temperature has gone down a bit and I have the energy to slowly get back to work.
The second chapter is still at the markup stage. I have long known the main events that should happen in it, but there are several variants of how to present them in the framework of one story. So now I'm assembling these planned events as a mosaic and making a plan for the chapter.
Well, that's all. Thanks for your support, and may Tanasta light your path.
P.S. And a little bonus, full-size maps. In the game their size is smaller.
