Summary
Finished Daaz Ending Scenario
Fleshing out and drafting content for Kav's Ending Scenario
Fleshing out Noel's ending scenario
Fleshing out Raif's ending scenario
Writing
So this week has been all about revising, planning, and drafting ending scenarios.
I keep calling them the "Ending scenarios" because that's convenient - but I feel like it also kind of gives the wrong impression of what I'm working on right now.
What I'm working on is the final three chapters of each route. These chapters include:
The build up to the story climax
The story climax events
The resolution (including a 'dramatic ending' and a 'passionate ending')
And a final wrap up (IE. a very short epilogue)
For each character, the "Ending scenario" I'm referring to is about 20,000 words. Each route resolves in a slightly different way, which means that I'm re-writing everything. Nothing is getting copied over from route to route. One of the most difficult things is just keeping things to a limited number of locations due to limits with BGs. The artists, bless them, are already working at a fairly slow pace and I just cannot afford to be adding work to them. Because it is taking a while to get the art done.
So that limits where they can end up in these ending scenarios - and limitations are always harder to work with, of course.
Anyway, the point is that across all the routes, there's about 120,000 words of "ending related stuffs" to work through. Now, Daaz and Asher are totally complete.
And I am working on the other four. Kav was obviously the one that was the least complete because of when I added him into the game. But he currently has a very flushed out outline now and I've temporarily moved on to flesh out the others before I get back to him.
So yeah. That's what I worked on all week.
Upcoming Week
I'll definitely be working on ending scenarios for this week and next week at the very least. Still have a lot to do but definitely getting there.
I will check in with you next week! I'm starting to get excited about being done with the writing. 👀

*quiet sobbing* 😭 It's so nice. LoL! I am so glad I experimented with this style of story telling and this game structure. But seriously. Never again! 🤣🤣

"Ending Scenario" sounds so simple so compact, doesn't it? Amazing how a couple words pack so much weight. Bet it's nice in a way to be back into totally separate routes, though.
