So now the big big big big post... The Future of "The Magical Gurl" aka Asia. Hi!
I was doing some soul searching and thinking... "Grow old or blaze of glory?" to quote Cyberpunk 2077...
After thinking... Blaze of Glory, BUT... I need to badly scale back. All of Chapter 4 was particularly horrible on my mental and physical health. During that time, I was in a full court press to finish and pumped out update every I think it was 2 months and I made mention slightly about the toll Projekt Moon: Hope Awakens cost... but I should and i guess I just won't state anything but facts and try not to lay out too too many details, but this is honesty... I had been in a cycle of work, sleep, Projekt Moon stuff, Discord, Promotion, eating, AEW Dynamite on Wednesday... every... week... for... 2... years... Notice things missing here? Now... yes... I admit this was my own personal choice to do this as making a game was a huge dream of mine in life as a whole and later this month, I will have a completed tag on my game somewhere and I will feel a sense of pride!!!!
...Buuuuuut pushing myself on this rigid and highly mechanical schedule with little alteration had begun to chip away and as an autistic dev, I can do things like this... but eventually even the most autistic mind has enough... And the entirety of Chapter 4, my brain and body were SCREAMING INTERNALLY for schedule adjustment, however, I fought it but Thanksgiving this past year the voice inside was DEAFENING. "Change Asia. NOW. Enough!" and I listened... I then patched up some parts I felt needed work, added some components of mine that were a dream to add by teaming up with someone I feel sounds a lot alike to Morrigan from Dragon Age... (Violet and Claudia Black aren't the same people), but now... I have been lightly doing things behind the scenes, adding more needed rest and battery replenishment... but also setting things up...
Enter "Sasha Maria". A character for "In the Bag".
I am debating on whether I should continue my idea for more roleplaying elements, whether you dive into Johnny (I think that will be the default MC's name... If you want it polled, i'll drop one...) and his life as a store manager, filling in various roles helping customers and stocking shelves... Also, adding a weirdo... (possibly the old MC design) to challenge to traditional RPGM battles akin to the bug girl battles in Yakuza... But instead Johnny, Sasha, Kayla and Ann will all team up to fight droves of generic RPGM baddies in RPGM combat for the lulz and maybe in game benefits... Maybe everyone is available including May and June and other future additions? (Please note some of these ideas were just off the top of my head and might change!)
Or do I scale down super hard and just do an AVN interpretation of it all... not fully sure, but that's yet ANOTHER POLL...
This all said... Good day... TBC as I am gonna stew a week and think of my next soft date for In the Bag as this time the first release will not have a hard time squaring things away... This time, I am not opening a release with shit. The first release of ITB will see I take my time to iron out everything and release an industry standard first release this time...
Til next time.
Asia.
PS - Do you have it in the bag?
