Developer Diary 7 (Patreon)

Finally I am able to sit down to talk a bit more!

It’s been a busy month and I have been able to spend less time on this project than I wanted. Right now I have one element working the way I want it and am in the process of adding an initial background (which will probably go through some revisions).

Other than that I am still figuring out the workings of the mirror, which has now got quite a bit of cool lore attached to it which links back to the overarching Albaverse.

I also said I wanted a main character witch, but this structure has now shifted. I think it will be a better approach to make the player character a faceless person so the player (thats you!) can self insert a little bit :) I will probably figure out the he/her issue if I can figure out dialogue stuff..

I’m gonna be moving my focus back to the mirror now, and getting some functionality into it. It will serve a lot of functions so I need to figure out a lot of things in one go. But for now there will be an OFF and an ON state so that is what I’m focusing on right now.

Beside that I've done a first redesign from the bland test mirror that I had with a more detailed design. The idea is for it to be very intricate which is a challenge in and of itself!

I need to fully lock in the gameplay loop so that I won’t run into any nasty surprises down the road… and focus on the functionality of everything. Not much porn in sight yet lol.

This project is very cool but an incredible challenge. Not only is it a massive undertaking, it’s also such a technical challenge. I don’t want to rush myself though, slow and steady wins the race. I am also trying to dedicate stream time to the game to get more hours of work done.

Hopefully soon I will be able to explain the mechanics more clearly!
