Tickle Magnet #11 Roadmap update
🕑 Added 2023-03-04 00:19:15 +0000 UTCRoadmap for Tickle Magnet #11
As we head into development, I wanted to share the tentative timeline for the develoment of this game. These steps can be moderately complex, with different parties responsible for different pieces. A delay in one can have ripple effects in other spaces, but I wanted to share the general timelines of what I'm thinking as of today.
[Added March 3, 2023]
The main storyline is now drafted. It's not in a final state, but it's close enough for what I want to do right now. There will still be some touch ups as I code the game and playtest it, but the pacing and primary plot points are in place.
The Caleb, Fiona, and Kelly story arcs are also drafted, so we have a huge jump on the March milestone. We're still working on Autumn and Derrick. I'm going to spend this month really fleshing out a lot of secondary character stories in town. I'd love for players to be able to explore in this game, and that will require a lot of writing still. So much of this is going to be the April milestone work that I'm starting early in March. So overall, still on schedule in production.
