Devlog #5: Slow progress is still progress(?) (Patreon)
Content
TL;DR: Chapter 3 is progressing, but slower than normal 'cause now the characters have stuff. While I haven't been the most disciplined and focused dev in these past 4 days, I've still been giving it my best.Fact is that instead of hammering out renders I've been trying stuff, experimenting and not being afraid to throw out stuff if the result is not to my liking.One example is props.I've been using props a lot more, learning how to pose them, how the characters interact with them, etc... and it's been fun so far, even if a bit frustrating at times.It's almost necessary that I learn how to use props and make the characters interact with them in a natural way 'cause it's a sapphic VN. At a certain point, using fingers alone isn't going to cut it (expect quite a few "adult fun times accessories" in this update).This weekend I should have a lot more free time to work on the game, so I hope I can bring you a more substantial progress report next week.One idea I've been toying in my head with is, since it's unlikely that the update will be completed before May, is to maybe release a ".5" update. This wouldn't leave a release gap in the month of April, but would risk prolonging the development time and force rewrites and I don't know if the pros outweigh the cons.I'll keep you posted, see ya next week.
