Progress update
🕑 Added 2022-01-30 12:52:19 +0000 UTCThough month, to be honest. Currently working about 45 hours a week on my main job, plus doing an additional higher certification. That one should be done in a month.
In the evening I come to the project and fix things with our dev's and make sure everything goes smoothly. Or write somewhere something, to get a bit more attention to the project. The more patrons we get, the easier it get's and the faster we can produce high quality content.
Writing
Bad news first, we threw out the dialogue script we had for the start. I have written the Christmas Episode and most of Hello World myself. But ultimately want to delegate that responsibility unto someone who can fully focus on it. The foundation we still have. There is about 30k character description, a ton of framework and big picture writing. Which probably totals to around 50k words.
The scene writing is, because of the setback, at about 10k words.
Regarding the writer position, I'll have 2 interviews this week. Doesn't matter how it goes by the end, I am here to make sure things work out.
Art
All main characters are finished!
Several new locations designed.
About 30% of the text we currently have is rendered.
I have added two renders, that should show that we are trying to go for a more immersed experience compared to Hello World, similar as in the Christmas Special.
Overall progress
We currently have 2 dev's working full time on implementing scenes, model and renders.
However, you know we are very quality focused and it will take time to release. Definitely months, I want you to be aware of this. We have an internal deadline, but I can't be sure yet if we manage it.
Discord
Added a render of Amelia and Melissa as example of /date on Discord.
Discord bots are not used as much as I hoped. I will give them a push later on, but without the community, it won't help much. So I am hoping we get some traction after the first few releases of terror. That isn't all too bad, since by then we should have enough content there.
I do have some capabilities in mind which should make it more user friendly, especially for patrons. However, if you have any idea what could be a nice addition, I am all ears.
Communication
For now I will update at the very least each end of month and whenever I find time and something that I want to just show you instead of a broader audience, like Mina's post this week.
If there is anything you'd like to know. Do not hesitate to write me on discord.
