Weekly dev blog: Another Week Gone!
🕑 Added 2023-10-09 14:47:59 +0000 UTCIf you saw the hotfix, you probably know most of what I worked on (some "reactive" dialogues in a few scenarios, and some more pregnancy-related content). Other than that , I also wrote a new scene with Jiro, as mentioned last week.
Next I'll try to do more on "the small dialogues" side of things, while I assess what's unfinished in the academy and try to take care of as many paths/events there as well. I'll have to figure out what's a good point for Charles, Eloise and Marjorie, then move to the cheerleading stuff, at least that's the general plan.
I'll probably plan the final quest for the Outcasts while I am at it, since that too has to be tackled (next month, if everything goes well). After that's done, we should be close to completion, I think. There is a bunch of small stuff I could do, but I'll have to start cutting the list short.
I am not sure if I should cut a final quest for Golden Leaf I had in mind for a while. It's probably a bit too late for that one, Caliross took WAY longer than it should have, after all. Maybe I should consider a future expansion for the game, assuming there is any interest for that sort of extra content years from now (VX Ace is old as an engine, so it's hard to think about how much attention, if any, such a project could bring).
Anyway, enough of me looking past this month, I have more work to do here and now! Until next time, have fun! ^_^

I don't think I would do a sequel to Erica's story (the arc concluded in a satisfactory manner for me), but never say never. A different protagonist could make sense. Perhaps shorter adventures would be something to consider as well. All in all, however, I already have a few game ideas for the future, so the problem is finding the time to work on them, as always. XD XD XD

would love to see another game in the caliross world/ with erica in another engine. the current one does leave a lot to be desired!

In theory, there aren't any obviously incomplete parts left in Golden Leaf, which is why it would be a candidate for a cut, but maybe it's just me getting worried since we have reached yet another Caliross anniversary. XD

Since I started to work on the next game, and I also have been "winding things down" in Caliross for a while, it feels weird to keep it going for this long. I am not tired of the game, it's just that mentally I switched gears. Maybe I should just re-think my perspective.

If you wanna cut the Golden Leaf finale, why not replace it with something smaller? I vote against leaving stuff half-finished if you can avoid it...but that might just be my perfectionist tendencies kicking in, so...

I love Caliross, I love the world and the stories you've created. As long as you are enjoying the work, I don't see any reason not to continue. But if you're getting to the "ehhh" phase, start saying "this is enough for that section". My opinion, of course.
