Ramble

Hi everyone. Just popping in for a quick update this week as my week has involved repeated crushing migraines and I'm just a little tired at the moment.

Writing

I am nearly finished writing Kav's Chapter 9 scenes - I did hope to be done with that this week but realised the "common" scenes in this chapter require some extensive editing and additional variations to account for some Kav-specific stuff. So I had to spend more time planning that than expected. I have about half a scene left to be finished with Kav's chapter 9 stuff.

I didn't factor in all the intense common path writing I was going to have to do this week when I said I only had about 3500 words to write for Kav's content. LoL!

I also edited chapter 4 (Asher's path). In this chapter, MC is beginning to acclimate to the crew and establish bonds with people there.

And....I've been adding to my revision plans to flesh out things in upcoming chapters, plan things, etc etc. This always feels like such a minor thing to include but actually when I know there is a problem in the story that I know I'm going to have to take care of during revisions, and I finally come up with a way to address and fix it...it definitely feels like a small victory. And that's how this one is.

I managed to hit my minimum writing goal this week...*just* but I did it. 💪The game is currently at 393.5k and my next big milestone is hitting 400k.

(I think it's good to note here that the original concept for this game was 300k. One day I'm going to stop thinking I can write a 300k game.)

Art

None this week

Other

Changed the button hover sounds for no reason other than the fact that I usually do this several times over the course of making a game because whatever sounds I start with begin getting on my nerves after a while. 🤣

Contemplated if I want to do an in-game achievement system...

Mini GS Check-in

Spent more time formatting existing content into the lore book and working on organisation of entries. I've been adding bits of content related to development and/or fleshing out the content as I go.

So...just lore book stuff.

Upcoming

My goal this upcoming week for GS is to continue getting the current lore content formatted into the lore book.

And my goal for WSC is to hit the 400k milestone for the game. That should be doable. It's within my minimum weekly goal to reach that so as long as I hit my daily minimums, it should not be a problem.

And that's it. The update is a little short this week as I'm just really tired and a bit bleh at the moment. But at some point I'll start feeling better again. (づ￣ 3￣)づ

See you next week.
