I'm going to try to finish writing a branch with Hima today (there's not much left). Another little problem I ran into is that the plot says Viv is supposed to clean Hima's room. The thing is that I painted this background a few years ago and most likely lost the source, so I'll have to redraw this background, maybe. In total, I need at least three versions: Night apartment, apartment with lights on, and cleaned apartment with lights on. I hope my drawing skill has improved a bit in the meantime, by the way, I'll only think about it again when I'm done with the script. Developing Viv gave me a good experience, I made a lot of mistakes in previous builds as this is my first visual novel and I didn't quite understand how to work with it. It's mostly about plot layout and variables.
There are tons of variables in the game like “Did Viv exchange cell phones with this or that character”. However, there are no variables like “Relationship level with this or that character.
I mean, conventionally the game can remember who Viv slept with, kissed, and so on, but this could have been simplified a hundred times. Programmer's hell that I created myself, now I have to test the game every time to find the right variable that is responsible for this or that event.
Next time devblog will be more fun, thanks for understanding. <3
