Aaaaand another successful month behind me. Time for another entry to my journal.
Okay, how's personal life: Good, everything's fine! Now to the important topics.
So, basically I've decided to ditch the RPG idea. Yeah, sucks but it's clear to me that like actually programming stuff like this isn't for me, not fun. But instead, I've decided to make a visual novel instead. That's right, Project Uncaged Dog is now going into this medium and honestly, from the progress so far, it seems like it's better that way. I've already been able to write a decent amount of story text this month, more than I could achieve in the previous month.
So what's the plan so far: Basically, I've decided to split the visual novel project into two parts: A small first chapter that introduces the world of the story and serves a bit as like as promotional demo, and then the full game which will be much larger (whether this one will also be seperated into different parts is irrelevant for now).
My plan so far is that I will first now write the rough text for the first chapter and have that finished somewhere around June this year. The rest of the year then will be spent with making character sprites, backgrounds, CGs, the UI as well as proof-reading and improving the script, so that around the beginning of the next year, I can release the first chapter demo into the wild.
I think so far I have finished around 30% of the script so I think I'm well inside the schedule. But honestly, even if I'm behind the schedule, who cares. It's my personal hobby project and I can control the work speed. All it matters is that I have fun and can show off something in the end that I'm proud of.
Anyways, on to another successful month.
