Development update
- Keep them separate 6
- Integrate with chapter 1 26
- Both 8
Hello, its been a few days since the last update, have been talking with the developer of Goddess Maker, the game this one is built upon, I reccomend you check it out if you havent.He kindly offered to rewrite chapter 1 to bring it up to standard and he has been helping me with my organization and planning, which has been extremely helpful when writing chapter 2, which after a few days of organizing and experimenting has been coming along nicely.
Mostly ive spent a ton of time planning and replanning chapter 2 to not have the same writing and consistency issues as the first one and honestly I believe that there is a huge improvement in the writing, now being actually understandable, there will also be a lot more focus on explicit scenes instead of characters standing around being bigger in half of them.
Chapter 2 is centered around a Roxy vs Candi rivalry with your choices affecting their growth and ending, bringing completely new mechanics, there will be 8 new side characters, some continuation to some chapter 1's characters and a completely separate area: The Casino
Im also implementing a lot more sequential CGs, with this I mean scenes where multiple CGs are used instead of a single one, which was a very demanded thing from the first part.
With this said, I want to ask some of you what you would prefer for the game:
Make it into a separate game: Basically chapter 2 continues the story giving you a starting height, resources and quests you should have achieved from chapter 1, mainly it allowe me to make a web version, it also makes for faster development and less bugs aswell as a bit more consistent writing but well... its separate, so no progress translates, it might change your height, etc.
Integrate with chapter 1: It will pick off after the ending, which might have issues depending on your resources, height and ending, Ive got written some events to unify the 3 routes but it still might have some issues at the beggining here and there
Make both: Basically make chapter 2 into a separate game at first until its polished, afterwards integrate with part 1.
With separate from the game or integrating I just mean the files, the story will be the same no matter the option.
Id also like your suggestions on content, fixes, and improvements, wether you think a certain mechanic should be added or you really liked an idea, you can dm them to me and ill take them into consideration.
