Development Blog 2019.03.02
🕑 Added 2019-03-02 22:14:35 +0000 UTCHello folks, hope y'all are doing well! This month has been a little rough on my end, but here's a little status update for where Repeat's development is at the moment.
What happened in February?
I done fucked up, that's what. As many of you know, I'm currently a college student doing a part-time job while taking classes this semester. I'm also an idiot who thought I could take online animation classes + work on my friend's short animated film + a self-directed study course at the same time, while also working on Repeat. Needless to say, that didn't work out very well. Over the course of February I've fell into a depressive rut trying to keep everything on-schedule, and frankly fell into a bad place because of it.
In the last week, I've had some conversations with my counselors and professors, and decided to drop several of my commitments in favor of actually completing some of them in a satisfactory way. In short, I've dropped most of my additional classes and freed up a significant portion of my schedule. That means more time for Repeat and my other furry projects ;w;/
Please note that I still have my part-time job + one college course + a short film to work on until the end of April, but afterwards my schedule will really start opening up. So what can you expect?
A small-scale update for the end of March and another one for the end of April.
Afterwards, I will be able to go back to working on the larger scale updates that you all enjoyed last year. Hope this clears up any update-scheduling concerns you guys had! ;;w;;
Progress so far:
Alrighty, now onto some more positive stuff. What did I actually manage to get done in February?
More sprites! Granted, one of them is an edit of Phillip's previous serious sprite, but I really liked the posing of that one~ I'm also taking suggestions for other expressions you guys think would be useful for Phillip, so let me know your thoughts in the comments!
There are also 2 CG artworks already finished, with a few more coming along the way!
On the writing side, I've re-adjusted some pacing issues in the outline and managed a few additional pages for the script. My writing hasn't progressed much this month due to the tight scheduling issues I went into, but progress should be much easier for March!
Upcoming Plans:
I'm planning on hosting consistent art-streams every week to ensure more progress for Repeat and more interaction with you guys in case you have any questions or just want to chat! I'm still trying to figure out what I'd do when I need to work on spoiler-ish artwork, but rest assured that it'd be labeled with proper spoiler warnings.
Welp, that's about all I have for this month. I'm sorry for the long wait, but thank you all so much for your continued support! I really appreciate it!

Can really tell you've put your heart and soul into this project ^_^ I have to say, it's the best visual novel I've played and I can't wait to see what the future holds for it :D Just don't burn yourself out trying to do too much at once :3

It happens to the best of us. I'd have graduated myself by now if I hadn't crashed and burned a couple of years ago from trying to take more than a full course load in one semester. We try to push our limits, but we're only human after all. I wish you a speedy recovery and that you take lighter workloads in the future (If Phillip is a stand-in for you as I'm starting to suspect he is, I hope you heed such advice more than he does :P). Phillip is looking adorable as always. Still loving your drawing style. And on that note, this visual novel has been around long enough that I'm noticing a difference in the drawing style of older and newer sprites. I didn't realize you did streams either, but I'd definitely be interested in seeing them. Take care of yourself, and I hope that everything will turn out all right.
