Nearly ready...
Added 2021-05-16 17:16:50 +0000 UTCHey guys! I've had a really solid week on writing for 1.12.
Target
In the past few releases, I've been writing right up to the release: which has led to some very unpolished releases recently. So my aim this week was to finish the writing draft, which would then give me two weeks to polish (and work on other important things, like art and code stuff) before the release target of May 30th.
Result
There's just one chunk of one scene left to finish. It's now 1816hrs and I can feel my brain slowing down, so I'm going to finish it tomorrow.
So I'm behind schedule (as usual), but only by one day (which is unusual). I'm going to get an early night tonight and crack it tomorrow.
How it's going
This has been a fascinating week for me in terms of writing. As you know, Female Agent has a balance of story scenes (the build up) and sex scenes (the pay off). On Wednesday I was struggling with the climactic sex scene in this update.
I decided to get away from the keyboard and just go for a long walk to think it through. The bad news is that I was breathing hard walking up hills I used to run up – 👴🏻 – but the good news is that the break helped me figure out that the problem in the sex scene was actually caused by a problem in the preceding story scene. Once I went back and fixed that, everything flowed super fast for the rest of the week.
I'm psyched about this release. There are some big changes, but I think you guys are going to love it. (Please love it.) Okay, enough teasing – I'm going to take the night off, and get right back into it tomorrow. See you next week for what will hopefully be the penultimate 1.12 update!
