Devlog 20: Writing & Writing
Hello French Canadians!

I spent the past two weeks thinking about the mystery, and outlining, and now I've finished writing the first chapter of File 02. There are lots of cool things about it, which I am excited to finally bring to life.
Looking at how long it took to write File One 23 days I expect to finish writing File 02 sometime next month. Once writing is complete, I will actually begin implementing it right away, even without backgrounds, since I have the main cast's sprites done. I'm hoping that helps get me motivated, and will reduce some of the stress at the tail end of File 02's production.
I didn't expect Hangout One to take a whole month to make I will have to factor that into my future estimations for the timeline. But needless to say, it's very possible I won't get to Broken Spirits this year, which is a bit of a shame, but considering how long that game will take to complete, it's okay. In any case, I'm sticking to my "one game at a time" commitment, despite being very tempted to do a NaNoRenO project this year. Oh well, maybe next year. ;)
Until next time!
LockedOn.
