March Progress Report
Added 2023-03-31 21:14:31 +0000 UTCI hope everyone's March went well. We can consider this one a Spring update as I'll post my status and plan for the next couple of months.
Status: I'm nearly done with the first district and first character in this new game, which doesn't sound like much but with only getting to work 1-2 hrs a week on the game, it is what it is I'm afraid.
Things will pick up though. Because it's the first character and first district, most of the time was just spent trying to figure out a lot of the core gameplay features and how I wanted the world and progress to be structured. With their completion, it becomes much quicker and easier to add additional characters and districts and keep expanding the game.
Plan: For the first release, I want to get 1 character and 2 districts complete. I feel that will be enough content that I can get feedback and make quality of life changes or restructure systems before beginning major expansion.
Predicted Update Style:
0.1 - First demo
0.2 - New characters for existing districts
0.3 - New districts
0.4 - New characters
etc
I have 6 characters and 5 districts initially planned but that'll grow once I get the chance to actually plan for new content.
So I hoping for the Spring to bring me some more time to work on the game so I can finally get some of these ideas going. A month or two from now, I might start trying to get some beta testers together to help go through the game. Feels like 1 millions to check at the same time whenever I double check anything. I'm going to need some fresh eyes soon.
Until then, I hope the start of Spring has been good so far and I wish everyone luck in dealing with allergies when they start in April!
