Weekly Dev Log #6, July 17th 2023
🕑 Added 2023-07-17 11:47:41 +0000 UTCAnother week has arrived! I’ve been busy, busy, busy, and absolutely on fire when it comes to creative things all throughout last week. You saw the cover/banner, two of the moodboards, one of the three short stories- but along with all that I started tweaking the twine version again(poking around in different templates this time)!
It started after hearing the somewhat worrying news that dashingdon is no longer supported by its indie creator, which is absolutely understandable and somewhat inevitable, but that led me to my final conclusion; Hosted Games is just out of the picture for this game, so I’m stepping up my pace to convert all the existing chapters into twine, to continue the first draft while hosting it on itch.io.
I will still update the next chapter using choicescript since it is already coded and nearly finished there, but after that the time has come for OUROBOROS to evolve. It is a little sooner than expected, but converges perfectly with my desperate need to get everything properly organized.
Either way, that is my secondary objective for this week- fiddling around in twine and re-familiarizing myself with the code.
My main objective is writing, riding this wave of motivation to finish this chapter so I can move onto fixing the twine version as soon as possible!
I am very excited to start sharing early access on patreon too, so I gotta shift into higher gear. No more dilly dallying! (Although I do condone dilly dallying to a certain degree, because life is sad without a bit of whimsy and tomfoolery.)
That’s it! There are no real stats for last week as I only wrote short stories - and accumulated about 4k words doing that, but I don’t want to confuse that with the game wordcount.
Wish me luck, I hope you have a wonderful week, and I'll see you around on discord and tumblr! :>
Ps. A final note- My energy is usually very limited after writing intensely, so I am holding off the *scheduled* extra content that usually drops every other day this week, dropping the extras on days I feel that I can instead!
Pps. Polls for this month close on Friday - make sure to cast your votes if you haven't already!
