Thought I'd make this public because as they say, "The count down is on!"
What's that mean? Whelp, HHD has become a beautiful game, compared to where it started, and I couldn't be happier with the latest .25 update. No spoilers here, but the folks that played all had great things to say - and I appreciate that a ton.
There's a lot that could go into a story...and a lot that should *not* go into a story. Creative constraints help us who dare defy the heavens & call ourselves Creators reach ever more lofty heights. Trouble is, when you have the whole world to choose from, selection itself becomes difficult. Books I've written took so many drafts, and only years after writing stories, I realized a fundamental truth.
The story will never be perfect the first time through, only by editing, revising, and nurturing the kernels of delight, of something more, profound, and eternal does the artist's work emerge from the cave into the light. Starving artists produce their best work sometimes, because they have to succeed. To win. There are no options.
A fatso like me doesn't have that issue, which means I'm focused on learning what works for me, and that's editing, revision, and more.
HHD didn't get that before I shipped, and you can see in the beginning (even in the .25...) edits, changes, and story updates. There will be some of those in the .26 final edition too, and for good reason. I want to hold the work up, and smile, when I consider the past.
Six months after I started work on "...my next project," have you played a demo? Nope. How many iterations of an opening did I craft? Three to five. How many of those were rendered? Three different versions. Did I do this with Magical Restart? Nope, otherwise, it wouldn't have been such flaming garbage ;)
While I'm leaving it all on the field for HHD, in the back of my mind, is all this process.
Stay hungry, stay thirsty, and I'm always grateful for your time, attention, and support. It means the world.
Cheers,
Brosef Chungus
