Saturday Update!
🕑 Added 2023-07-08 17:17:25 +0000 UTCHello guys! Time for updates!
Last week went fairly well I think! I ended up taking Monday off to recuperate a bit [ thank you very much for allowing this! ]
On Tuesday I got back to work setting up the coding for the Hammer/Drill choice! I was pretty excited about this since I think it's an important part and I had a lot of coding ideas for how I wanted it to look.
I'm very pleased to report that I managed to do the things I was planning! I built off my mouse-following code I set up for the basement night search and applied it to give the choice a parallax effect that also follows the player's mouse.
That combined with a slow dolly zoom makes it feel pretty fun I think ^o^
My gif software doesn't capture my mouse but it also becomes a little hand icon over the hammer or drill to show that they're buttons. [ you will just have to believe me on that I guess LMAO ]
But here's how it looks so far with the placeholders!
Then I dove back into the writing!
Day 2 needs a LOT of writing. I struggled with it a bit on Wednesday and Thursday to be honest. I had some random BS summer anxiety and I just have a lot of trouble writing when I'm anxious.
But! I got into a groove at the end of Thursday and then wrote pretty solidly all Friday. I pulled a little overtime and wrote for around 11 hours to kinda make up for the slow week. Felt good to be making smooth progress again so I think the overtime for just one day was ok!
Here's the outline doc and chunks I have written so far:
As usual, it doesn't look like a whole lot of progress but each little box can sometimes represent a LOT of writing.
I also ended up pulling up my old 2016 script to see if I could cure some of that writer's block and it did help- although I was shocked to see how short the original scenes were! I'm definitely writing more this time LMAO
Oh, I also randomly doodled a wet strade last week. Inspired by the new intro with all the rain :)
Next week I'll be doing a lot more writing [ hopefully with less roadblocks! ]. Day 2 still needs quite a bit more writing for alternate choices. I'm hoping I can get Day 2 fully written next week. After that, things are going to delve into more unknown territory since the story diverges a lot from the old 2016 version at that point.
Anyway, I think it was still a pretty good week!
Oh! and stay tuned tomorrow for the credits update! I'll get that all organized and set up tomorrow morning :)
Thank you guys so much for your support! I hope you're having a lovely summer so far!
Stay safe and have a fun weekend! <3
