Progress & next steps

Added 2023-01-20 18:03:31 +0000 UTC

Hi guys! Last week I pushed my outline for a short interim episode out to some kind contributors who don't mind spoilers.

I got some great feedback (special thanks to Behbeh, Aybee, Lost Engineer, Dissonant Soundtrack, Falloutbabe, Captain Chicken Strip, Thorson, Maid.Queen.Mariam and Mano2) and started work on the storyboard for the episode!

Behbeh pointed out that one scene was stolen from Dirty Dancing.

PROGRESS

This week I storyboarded 127 screens based on the outline. I feel like this process was quicker than usual, because I developed it from a "beat sheet" (a very detailed outline) that I wrote last week.

Beat sheets are an experiment to speed up the writing, and so far I'm excited about them! Working from the beat sheet helped me storyboard faster. But improvements and fixes still occurred to me as I was working on the storyboard.

NEXT STEPS

Our illustrator lovely Victoria will work on art assets required by the storyboard.
I'll aim to (a) finish the storyboard and (b) start converting storyboard screens into working game screens.

Okay, that's all for this report! I am going to open a beer and listen to the new Metallica single now. 😮 Have an awesome weekend everybody, I'll report again soon!
