Saturday Update November 13, 2021


Hello my friends.

This week I have been both writing more of the script, and building the structure of the VN. 

The structure wasn’t as important for the introduction since it was mostly kinetic. (non-branching). I didn’t want to bog down the introduction with too much that wasn’t going to be used, so I decided to wait until after the introduction to put all of that in.

That sped up my release, but it slows down the first update. 

Slow process

I would love to get this done asap, but that will be a problem since I am trying not to cut corners. I have seen the sloppy work some people have done. Incomplete renders and error ridden code, and I do not want that in my VN.

There’s one little thing I wanted to accomplish that I wasn’t sure how to do, and I figured it out. As usual my ideas are not standard, so I had to take similar ideas and figure out how to implement them the way I wanted. I guess that’s the way coding is supposed to work. 

Boring section starts here (Wait, the above wasn’t boring enough?)

I am initially writing a simpler code, then going through and upgrading it to a more “sophisticated” code. In other words, classes, arrays, and lists. My plan is to get something that works, then improve it. If for some reason I can’t get some aspect of it to work, I will still have the more basic code that works.

I have used arrays, classes, and lists before, but it was more or less following along, or cutting and pasting something. What I need is to understand what it is doing and why. The basic concept is fine, and makes a lot of sense to me, but I just don’t have my head fully wrapped around them just yet.

The difference is between knowing and understanding. Understanding will make it easier to fix things when they break. 

Story

I have also been writing the story. I already have a lot written, but mostly those are in parts, and they are sections that will be spread out through a few updates. Most of the work needs to be on the core story that ties everything together. 

This is a little harder to write about since I don’t want to reveal too much. 

But why not give a general reveal about something that I am planning for the future. The cast of the original loved doing the dream sequences. As actors they would get tired of playing the same characters over and over, and the dream sequences gave them an opportunity to stretch their “acting chops”. 

This won’t be implemented anytime soon. And in fact, will take some extra work, so I might start working on parts here and there on the side so I can get ahead, but limited so it doesn’t have a significant impact on the core game.  

Way too long

I need to reduce how long my updates are. 

As always, enjoy life.

Saturday Update October 9, 2021


Hello my friends.
Had a good week. I pretty much fixed the issue I was having last week, though in a roundabout way.
I spent less time on rendering, and more with writing the script into the game, as well as rewriting the script as I went along.
I often find that a line could be presented better, or the rendering influences the writing. Interesting since the writing influenced the render in the first place. Essentially, I write a scene, render it, then rewrite to scene to fit the render.
But I am practically done with the introduction part of the game.
Why have I slowed down?
I really haven’t wanted to get into this, but while everything I have posted is true, I left out that my time has unfortunately been split.
With the medical issues that have popped up with my “significant other”, our income dropped, and our savings took a harder hit than expected. I ignored it for a time, but there was a problem on the horizon, and I had to deal with it. 
So, I started working on another source of income. Nothing significant, but enough to push the problem down the road. Problem is it cut my time to work on this project in half. If not more.
What is left in the Visual Novel?
The introduction story needs about 3 renders, and to write out more dialogue. I am writing this early Saturday, so I am hoping I can get that done today.
I am also planning on a “bonus” scene. (Not what anyone is expecting.) So, I have to set that up, and render it. I expect it to go quick.
I still have to finish a hat for Mrs. Howell, pose her, and put her into the promo scene, then that is done.
Then all I have to do is to adjust how the VN looks. It still has that generic Ren’Py look to it, and I want to get it a little more personalized. A little more “professional” flair to it.
In other words, I need to make it pretty. 
Final Thoughts
I am in the endgame now. Took way (way, way), longer than I expected. Had way too many disasters negatively affect me. Made a lot of mistakes, and learned a lot of lessons. I still don’t think things are perfect, but I have seen many imperfect visual novels, so I hope people are forgiving. (Until they see the “Bonus” scene that is.)
Still expecting it released by the end of October.
As always, enjoy life.

Saturday Update August 14, 2021


Hello my friends.

I am moving forward. Slower than I want, but still moving forward. 

I finished the second set of scenes, in the second part of the introduction. I have 2 (3) to go to finish the introduction. My next scene involves the use of something I do not have, and was hoping might go on sale. It really is only part of a couple images, so it could be possible for me to set them up, then come back to them later.

Life is still distracting

I keep getting pulled away from the visual novel. Things need to get done, I keep having to put our fires. But I am still working on the Secret of the Island.

Love my new computer

 Things are so much better with my new system. I am extremely happy with how fast dForce works. (Don’t worry if you are unfamiliar with it.) I do think that the updates will come out a lot quicker because of it. I just need to get the first part out. 

As always, enjoy life.

Saturday Update August 7, 2021


Hello my friends.

Where does the time go? I cannot believe it’s been a week.

So, I am back to working on my game, though slower than I had hoped. Most of what I have done is correcting and adding to previous images, and got another scene done.

To clarify, when I talk about scene, it is a single full image. This is different than a move scene where it is a section of a movie. Using the movie definition, I only have 5 scenes in the second part of the introduction. 

Using this definition, I am down to 2 more images in the second scene of the second part of the introduction. As I write this that is. Good chance those will be done by the time this post is published.

The third scene would be either one or two images, haven’t decided yet. The third is a short scene that leads to the final scene, which finally reveals everything so the story can move forward. 

So, I am getting closer. 

I will finish the intro, but there are other aspects that will need to be addressed.

As always, enjoy life.

Saturday Update July 31, 2021


Hello my friends.

Work continues

Finally, back to work on my visual novel. 

I do feel bad about how long this has been. My plans for updates should be less time than I spent away.

I have to admit I was obviously burned out. I was pushing myself hard to get everything out, and I can get overly focused until my brain overloads, and that is what happened here. Problem is in the past when it happened, I would almost immediately click with something else and drop wherever I was focused on. 

I seem to have a laser like focus, but the problem is maintaining that focus on one item without burning out, without a distraction pulling me in another direction. I admit there is another distraction, but it is something that won’t be affecting this project.

The problem with overworking is that you seem to be able to get a lot done, but then you need more time to recover. My problem is that I know this, and yet when I start something I have so much trouble pulling myself away.

Game updates

I am less worried about the timing of this first release. Almost nobody knows about it. Doesn’t mean I don’t feel bad about how long it has taken. Over a year so far.

When it’s out I wanted to update every 3 months, so spending an entire year just on the introduction makes me worry. I know that a lot of that is setting things up, so I have my excuse. One thing I do not want are inconsistent releases. I don’t want it to take so long that people believe it’s been abandoned. Although that is part of the reason for these updates. It’s so people know that I haven’t abandoned anything. 

The biggest reason I spent making these updates is to get used to it, so once it is released, I will keep these updates coming, if only out of habit. 

As always, enjoy life.

Saturday Update June 12, 2021


Hello my friends.

Just a quick update, not much progress, mostly fixing small piddly stuff. (Piddly, that’s a word, isn’t it?) Still a lot of personal stuff going on, family, more doctors, and this may contribute to an inability to keep my focus.  Everything seems to happen all at once for some reason. And because it’s all spread out, it keeps getting in the way of any momentum.

I do know my motivation is rising, and thing should be slowing down, although one more medical test next week.

BTW the doctor visits are not about anything major, just crap I need to deal with.

As always, enjoy life.
