Bimonthly Update, January 21, 2023

Hello My Friends 
A little late, but I threw in an image of Ginger in her new (old) outfit you may have seen on the show. Took me forever to figure out how to make it.
I took my one week scheduled break, and had to keep myself from working on the Visual Novel (VN).
I also checked out the feedback, which I appreciate, good or bad. I decided to comment about a couple comments below.

Stat Alerts
There was a comment about my stat images being reversed, but it turned out the person was confused, not realizing we want the morality stat to decrease for Gilligan. But it did point out a mistake I made, and that the way I color coded it could be confusing, so I doubt he was the only one. 
The mistake was color coding the stats based on the stat, not on what direction it was moving, and I chose red for morality. Since most of us are conditioned that red is bad, people see red, see the stat decline, but there is a ding, so they assume something is wrong 
I changed all the improvements to blue, and negative to red.

Is my VN short?
I also had one complaint about the length of my VN, with a comparison to “other visual novels”. I ignored it there, but decided to address it here.
Obviously, this person wasn’t aware of the shitshow my life was last year. But I don’t know what visual novels he is trying to compare me with. Is he comparing me to novels with a team? To people using Honey Select or Koikatsu? Or maybe to people using 5 generic images for each character, and putting them in front of a generic background. I mean there’s nothing wrong with that. It gets content out quickly, but it just isn’t my style. 
I am attempting to put my heart and soul into this. I realize that I have spent hours on some images that people will only see for a few seconds. I have gone back to fix images because I wasn’t happy with how the pinky was positioned. 
At times I really regret choosing Gilligan’s Island. There are no off the shelf assets I can use without a lot of modification. I have to make yet another important prop for the next release. 
With the disaster that was last year over, and finally getting into a grove with my schedule, I expect to be producing at a faster rate. 
Keep the critiques coming
Compliments are nice, but I don’t learn anything from them. I want to become better, and the only way is to know where I’m making mistakes. Although constructive criticism is the best. Just saying “That Sucked” without saying why isn’t exactly helpful.

Final Words
I have 4 sections written for the next update. They should have been in the last update, but unfortunately weren’t. The content is about 50% longer than the last. 

Next Update
Game update: April (Planned)

Update is live, January 7, 2023


Hello My Friends
And the update is live for everyone.
This has taken way too long, and I apologize for that. I also apologize for how small this update is. But there were a few challenges, and part of the time was spent fixing mistakes, and correcting images from my last update, as well as tweaking characters. 
During this update, I had to adjust to 2 jobs, and had to get my head on straight, and that took a lot longer than expected, but I seem to finally be getting back on track, though a little slower.

Next Update
My plan is to update in 3 months, in the month of April.
I already have the story written, so it should be right to producing the images.

Break
A rule I set for myself is to take a one week break from the project every time it is updated. So for a week I do not plan on touching this project, though I will keep an eye on how it is going. But the next week I will be back to work.

Game update: April (Planned)

Bi-Monthly Update, October 15, 2022

Hello My Friends
This is a combination of good and bad. In the two weeks since my last update, my first week was pretty good. I made progress, less than I would like, but still progress. The second week was the week I was dreading when the financial shit hit the fan. I was prepared, and already decided everything I would do. 
I hope this is the last time I “blog” about my life, but essentially, I made an agreement that finally deals with this issue, but in a way that I really didn’t want to.
The second week I was not in the right mind, and spent too much time distracting myself with another visual novel.

Done Blogging About My Life
This has unfortunately been months of disaster. From burning out and moving, to a surgery and mega bills from hell.  
Hell week is over, so my focus should hopefully return.

Final Thoughts
I am over the hump. 
Last week, while not near what I am used to doing, was still more than I have done in a while. Next week I expect things to improve. 
While not making promises, I have a goal of having the next update out in November.

Game update: ???? (Delayed… Goal November.)
Next post: November 5

As always, enjoy life.

Bi-Monthly Update, August 20, 2022


Hello My Friends
I am finally getting back to working on my visual novel. (VN) But things are still moving slow right now.
I upgraded my monitors to 4K, and the first thing I did was to go through the images and make sure they looked good in 4K. There was a complaint about it not looking good in 4K, but the issue was a mistake I had made that looked bad in HD. I already cleared that up for the next release. 

Still getting my bearings
As I said, thing will run slowly at first. We had a lot of things to deal with. We had a massive amount of change and upheaval in a short period of time. If you are interested, I will discuss my life events yet again, but if you aren’t really interested in that, skip the next section.

 More whining
I admit that a big part of the events in my life were my fault. I knew I should have dealt with our financial situation earlier, but instead I kept working on the Visual Novel. I ignored everything else and pushed it through. The problem is it left us in a very bad situation, and the job I expected to get took longer to get than I expected. Strangely the manager said I was approved in a way he had never seen before. It was obvious my history with the company gave me a big pass to be rehired.
One of the events was our decision to move after getting the job. I have another way of making money, and part of the reason for the move was to make this easier. It takes a little time, and more space. This side income probably saved us during our financial meltdown.
But another reason for the move was that there was an upcoming surgery, (not mine) and we wanted to get moved before it happened, and she was laid up for a month. We got moved in half a month before the surgery. (And are still not unpacked.)
Unfortunately, the move pushed our debt up even further. 
I am still leaving a lot out about what was going on, and I not give too much information in case anyone I know reads this. Anyway back to what you really care about.

4K?
I am now working with 4K monitors. I kept a watch on a couple, and they went on sale and I couldn’t pass it up. 
Sorry but the Visual Novel (VN) won’t be in 4K. 
I render everything at 4K, then after some cleanup I downsize to HD, so I have all the images as both HD and 4K. After I set up my monitors I checked the HD to the 4K images, and really the quality isn’t enough to justify the increase in the size of the game file.

Final Thoughts
Things might be going slow, but I am back to working on the Visual Novel. I again apologize for the long delay. My biggest regret is that I didn’t have time to improve my skills. My work has been a constant goal of improving at what I do. Both in quality, and in speed. I want my renders to be even better, and in half the time.  

Game update: ???? (Delayed)

Bimonthly Update, July 2nd, 2022


Hello My Friends
Sorry but I got practically nothing done on The Secret of the Island, and this was not intentional. 
I did plan on having a little time off, but a day here and there. But life has just gotten too busy for me.

Boring details about not making progress.
I didn’t plan on mentioning this, but we are in the process of moving. We don’t actually get the keys until the middle of July, but have been packing, cleaning, and repairing things. (I have no handyman skills, but I can use YouTube.) This isn’t all that’s going on, but it sure isn’t helping. 
Since we have to pay an extra half months rent, plus deposit, I have increased my hours at my new job. Plus, to help them out since they are short right now.
We planned on doing a major cleanup once the apartment was cleared out, but were informed about a move out inspection just a week after we turned in our notice. I understand it since they need some lead time if they have to replace any carpet or tile, and that makes it easier to schedule it. But we weren’t expecting that, and had to scramble to get the apartment into shape. Especially having everything torn apart and spread out as we went through everything, deciding what to keep, what to toss, (I hang on to too much crap,) and what to sell. 
We now have half a month before we start the move. I hope that I can get something done during my free time. After the middle of the month, I once again won’t have any time to do much of anything but move and work. 

Days Available
So, I counted the number of days I can work on the project. (After taking one full day off for R&R.. I hope.) That leaves me with 6 potential days. Not many, and I will have to see where my head is at. After the middle of the month, I doubt I will get much free time. 
If I actually had one scene/event finished, I would release an update. And this is something I don’t want to half-ass.
I will update on the 16th, and hopefully have some more progress.

Game update: ???? (Delayed)

Next post: July 16th.

As always, enjoy life.

Bimonthly Update, June 18, 2022

Hello My Friends
Bad news, I won’t make my planned June 25th release date. 
I feel really bad because this was the first time I made a solid release date, and I am failing at achieving it.
I was forced to make some changes in my life, and expected a few problems, but I never expected to get slammed by life the way I did.
If you are only interested in the progress on the game, and aren’t interested in my talking about my personal life, skip to Progress below. 

Overworked
I know for a fact that this is a problem I have. I hate to not be productive, and tend to get focused on things so intensely that I have experienced burnout way too many times in my life. I even came into this project knowing this, and have experienced it a few times already. But this was the worst since starting this.
But this was also the hardest for me to accept. Other events were going on in my life, so I wasn’t on the project barely as much as I had been, so I had a little more of a problem connecting being burned out when I was working way less on the project. But it was everything happening all at once that was the problem.
When I did open the project, I wasn’t getting anything done. I would open it before work, and right about the time I started to get productive, that was when I had to stop and go to work. That left me frustrated with the project, and I came to work a little annoyed, negatively affecting work.
The point is that I let stress get to me. I should have slowed down earlier, but I didn’t.
It was suggested that I take a full day off every week. Good idea, but all the times I opened up the project before work was a big issue. So, I believe I need to quit working on The Secret of the Island on the days I have to go to work. (My job splits my day, rather than being a morning or evening job.)
I did take a full day off, and spent a week keeping things light. I even quit working out for the week, and just tried to chill. 
I found that I did absentmindedly open the project before work, and had to stop myself from trying to work on it. 
Life is still coming at me though, and I still have to squish all the things I was doing in my personal life into my free days, or mornings and evenings on the days I work. 

Stress Reduction
I am familiar with meditation, but I tend to not keep up with it. My problem is setting aside a block of time where I do nothing, and I really dislike not doing anything. (Which is why I am prone to burnout.) 
I recently became aware of a different method of meditating. I read how a person takes ever chance he can to meditate, but only for a short time. Most often 30 seconds to a couple minutes.  
I am currently trying to create triggers that start a habit of meditating. Say every time I sit down.
I also stopped trying to work while eating. I take a break and maybe watch a YouTube video, and just relax.

Progress
My progress is slow, but improving. I unfortunately had to redo some images, and that slowed me down. I mean I am making progress, but way slower than I had hoped. I still have a scene I need to create, and there are a few challenges I need to overcome with creating those scenes. 

Release Delayed
As I said above, I won’t make the planned June 25th update.
I have to apologize about that, and I will work to get it out ASAP, while attempting to keep my stress in check. I hope people understand. Once that update is out, I will take a full break of a week, possibly two. 

Final Thoughts
A lot of this is unfortunately not about the project, but a lot about me, and my current struggles. I am intentionally leaving a lot out, both for personal reasons, and to not bore everyone. I am trying not to put too much minutia into the update. 
I recognize people want to know what’s going on with the update, not read a blog about my personal life. Although that is why I break these things up, so people can read just what they want. 
As I said, I am slowly getting on track, and my progress is slowly coming back. The next update will be a small one, but the next one should be bigger. 

Game update: ???? (Delayed)

Next post: July 2nd.

As always, enjoy life.
