Update 8/12
🕑 Added 2022-08-12 21:45:32 +0000 UTCHey y'all!
Another meaty update for this week.
Announcements:
1. Got 10 reviews on Steam! Thank you to all those who left a good review, I really appreciate it, and can see that Steamโs pushing the game a lot more aggressively on the discovery queue because of it! ๐ If you havenโt left one yet, please take a few mins to do so here, itโs seriously helping the game get more visibility
2. College Craze DnD Info session this Saturday at 11AM EST! Discord members Satan, Summora and Zombie will be running it, and showing us the ropes, and will be there to answer Qs about creating a character. This is to prep for a future DnD game with CC Characters in it! Beginners are encouraged to join! Link to invite is here .
3. Will be doing another Spoiler/NSFW stream for Sophmores and up, Wed 8/17 from 6-8PM EST. I will continue drawing the new character sprite, just gotta give him some pants and some shading and weโre set! I may start the next character, time permitting. These will likely be a regular thing for Patrons, with a non-spoiler stream for non-patrons once a month.
4. First lore post will be released Mon 8/15. Excited to share a lot more info about MCโs hometown, Bitterby!
Game updates
Now, onto other updates. My mood hasnโt been 100%, so this week was a little slower, but Iโm still happy with progress made! The word countโs sitting 19,432 and 2,259 lines are coded.
Iโve completed all of Monday, and currently in the middle of Wednesday. (Time skipped Tuesday.) Finishing Wednesday should be fairly decent, itโs Thursday thatโs gonna be a really big lift for me since thatโs donor dinner night. I think because of my outlining style, I may be able to get through it faster than if I did it my old way, but there's still A LOT of content on Thursday alone, and I hope to do it justice!
Iโm chatting with the GUI dev who helped me last update and asking about ways to optimize clothing choices, cause it may make my life a lot easier. If Iโm able to code it so that I donโt need to explicitly say โIf MC chose this choice, give her this outfitโ every time she appears on screen. Fingers crossed there's an easy way or he can help me figure it out! Cause I got some scenes that involve clothing choices and customizations coming up, this may limit or expand it.
In the Art Department, one CG is done. This time around Iโm trying to incorporate more art into the writing process to minimize crunch. Iโm sure Iโll still have a healthy pile, but it should hopefully feel less cramped as a result of doing art along with writing. Iโve gotten some minor stuff in for MC, an expression and accessory. Iโve gotten 4 silhouettes in as well (Which Iโm really liking instead of just no characters when I need people to speak!) and of course, nearly done with a character sprite!
See you in the next one!
xoxo,
