Pool results and new updates.
Added 2021-01-29 19:42:57 +0000 UTCHello, my lovely patrons, I came here to give a little heads up about the game development and the pool results.
First of all, the pool will end in three days, and it seems that the results will be favorable to the first option: Post updates every three weeks as long as I have some content added to the game.
That being said, who knows what the results will be in three more days, right?
About the game, I've spent the last weeks working on the story but I also did some pauses to add more features to the game, they are not yet done, but I do want to make sound effects and maybe, if possible, time of day/night on the game by applying a filter over the backgrounds and seeing if I can somehow make the same background to look like it's in another time of the day, I don't know if that will be possible though, but I'm trying.
I was able by those last three weeks to write a good intro for the 4th day, with the Act 0, Thr 1st, 2nd, and 3rd encounters for Wagner's character and the first part of Act 1, which will have four parts this time.
I can now just stop, and start the correction and review process of the text before putting it into the game, and release an alpha with those parts until the first set of answers or I can just continue working on the text. It all depends on the pool who will end in three days.
Whatever happens, I'm gonna continue working towards a good story, which means, I'll still take a long time doing and redoing text, if it doesn't look good to me, it won't look good for you guys too, so I usually write at least five or six sketches of every part of the game until I'm satisfied.
So, what will happen if the 1st option of the pool wins?
Well, every three weeks I'll be releasing an alpha for you guys with as much content as possible even if it's just something simple, after that, I'll have one week with a pool to ask you guys what character you all want to be written next if I continue with the current route or if I go to another character. Those pools (tier 3+ only) will last for three to four days, or maybe a week if I notice you guys are being a little slow to vote (after all sometimes it takes time for the news to get to you guys), then, when you guys voted what you want next, I'll spend the next three weeks working towards that goal AND I'll release by the end of the third week the next alpha with as much as I can do. However, this doesn't mean I'll rush stuff, I'll work on the same peace as I'm doing now, this only changes the fact that you guys will get alphas with fewer contents but more often.
If a pool ends in a tie or without votes after a week, I'll be the one who chooses what I should do by myself. And, even if I spend those weeks working towards the routes you guys choose, I'll be also focusing part of that time to enhance the game engine, adding more options, and all that jazz.
ANYWAY, I hope you all have a nice time, and again: Thank you SO much for supporting the project, no matter what tier you are, you guys are helping me not only make this game but also allowing me to pay my rent and live my daily life without too many issues.
Thank you guys, so much.
