Progress Report - September

I hope everyone has been doing well the past month. It seemed to go by quickly for me so I hope it wasn't a drag for everyone else.

Progress has been moving at a decent pace. I'm glad to have the base maps in place so I can start populating them.

Since August, at a relaxed pace, I have complete the world map, 9 villages and a... I don't know what you'd call it really, military checkpoint maybe? Either way. A world map and 10 explorable towns. With just the bare bones interior maps like shops and such, the total map count is at 57.

A pretty good starting point as it is quite possible once all the cities are in and I start actually building areas that will be used for quests, we'll probably be well over 200 maps by the time things are all said and done.

Big fucking world of catgirls.

I've also been designing some npcs and based on the character creator for RPG Maker, everyone is looking rather generic but in a lovely way haha I'm sure it won't be surprising for people that are used to these types of games but I'm doing my best to create enough different varieties so places don't feel too samey.

I'm at 64 different types of sprites and still going but there is easily going to be hundreds and hundreds of Katulinias in the game so I can only do so much.

I'm having a lot of fun using the "cotton candy hair" approach to the characters though so I hope everyone likes pink, blue and purple haired catgirls. Certainly makes some areas brighter and more cheerful haha

Other than that, there's not much else to report. The type of game I want to make is shaping up nicely in my head but not definitive enough to make an announcement on what the next game will be. I'm still kind of hoping I can pull off the stuff I want to within the RPG Maker engine but the game isn't at the stage where I can experiment with that stuff yet. So we'll just continue to have fun with world building stuff for now.

I am far enough now that if you wanted to talk about the Katulinian world and village life and culture, you know where to find me. It'd be great to see what type of questions you guys ask because it will help determine where everyone's mindset and expectations are after My Catgirl Maid.

Thanks for reading and see you next month.
