Friday Progress Update, Apr 26: "Saving the Princess"


Hello, folks!
That's right, I'm back with another Friday Progress Update. I'm a failure and I'll tell you why!
For progress, I've begun to tinkering with the renders, setting up locations, clothes, other props, and so on. I'm still developing the script as well.
I had a cold this week and was knocked out for a few days. No RL work -yay! No energy or focus to write much either -boo! We're done with that now though, and there was progress every day, this thing ain't going to develop itself, right?
Anyway, I don't know if I've talked about my writing routines. Basically, I write in a plain text file first. The text is a kind of basic ren'py code to make it easier and faster to do the actual coding later. It might look like this:
 scene miko entering with tray, new maid top
 miko "Good morning, Sir. Miss Elisabeth sent me to bring you breakfast."
 jack "Did she, now? That's thoughtful of her."
 miko "Yes, Sir."
 scene miko talking
 jack "How come you knocked, by the way?"
 miko "Because I'm bringing you breakfast, Sir."
each "scene" is a new render, and roughly what's in it. As you can see, only part of the text is the actual dialogue. So I said I'd try to do a tad smaller update this time, and I'm starting to think I'll fail at that. You guys vote for bigger updates though so you probably don't mind much.
For example, the base script for the first part of day14, this was the short Miko morning scene, the walk with Beth, the Hannah-in-the-gym lewdness, the meet with Ash and Cat downtown, the later Miko or Miko+Beth scene, depending on choices. Some talks with Charles, maybe something more I forgot. The basic script for this stuff was 53k. The last update had the party though, and that was big due to all the branching.
So anyway, for this update, as you know, I'm going for longer scenes with fewer characters. Basically, I very roughly thought of it as four slices of pie, each one with one of the girls as the main ingredient, and each one about 25k, for a total of a 100k script. A good sized update, not my biggest, but solid.
So, the fail. I knew something was up when the script was sitting at 35k after the first quarter. Then at 2/4 it was at 65k. Now I'm almost at 90k and I'm not close to finishing the 3rd part. And the final slice of pie will probably be about as big as the others. Duh!
Anyway, it's all under control. It just won't be the smaller update I had envisioned, lol.
Look at all that rambling. The pen ran away from me and did its own thing! I had nothing better to write about anyway so I guess it's something. I'll work some on the actual script now - and I need to find a top for Miko!
See you guys again soon, and thank you for your support!

Friday Progress Update, Apr 19: "Saving the Princess"


Hello, everyone!
It's Friday again! The working week is over. Two days of freedom and frolic is upon us. But that is, of course, not what's important today. It's time for another Friday Progress Update! Let's do this.
So I'm in the script-writing phase. Not my favorite part of development because I'm so damnably slow at it. I've got the next update fully laid out now, and it's all about filling out the space with cheesy dialogue and bad jokes.
I'll describe the process for when I'm writing, and why it's so slow. If I sit down and just man up and say to myself, I'm going to write now. Four hours of just grinding this here script. What happens is I just freeze up and get nowhere. I'll end up staring at the screen trying to come up with the next line of dialogue.
Likewise, if I try split the time between writing and posing renders, for example, the posing steals all my brain capacity and I completely fail at writing anything coherent.
So what I end up doing is writing a little, do nothing useful (mostly randomly surfing the web), writing a little more, and so on. It's like I have a small pool for writing that's emptied in one-two sentences, but refills again if I watch funny cat videos for a few minutes.
It's inefficient like hell, but it's what works so ... It is what it is?
I know some game devs who just spew out sentence after sentence, page after page. But on the other hand, in the Summer of 2011, I bought A Dance with Dragons on the same day it was published and I'm still waiting for the next book. I guess it's not as slow as it could be, is the point I'm trying to make I guess, or something. Hodor.
Anyway, I'm progressing! Not ready to start rendering yet, though. I wouldn't dare guess at a size for the next update yet.
On to something else: Polls. Beth and Miko won the content poll. No surprise, I guess. Miko got more votes though, good for her! Soon (tomorrow maybe), I'll do a poll about the gallery.
Okay, I desperately need a video of dogs trying to carry a branch through a fence now, got to recharge those batteries. I'm hoping to get some more script down on paper today!
I'll see you guys again soon. Thank you for your support!

Friday Progress Update, Apr 12: "Saving the Princess"


Hello!
Phew, another release is done. I'm always in a frenzy of activity towards the end of an update, and crash a bit post-release. Probably pretty common. So far I've had a typo in Hannah's conversations reported, and in one menu at the party, you can't actually see the question asked, just all the answers. I'm sure there's more, let me know.
I haven't been idle though. Work on the script for the next update has begun. I might shoot for a smaller update but we'll see as the script develops where it's heading. I'll also try to do an update with fewer, but longer scenes. Less girls, but more time with each.
I'll do a content poll as per usual. Probably tomorrow. It'll have fairly few girls to choose from, which doesn't mean you shouldn't vote for your favorite from among them!
I'll do at least one more poll in the coming weeks as I'll need to decide on how to set up the gallery for past and future scenes, and I will be letting you guys influence me greatly!
Okay, someday I'll write a long-ass Progress Update. But what do we say to the God of Progress Update writing? Not today.
See you guys again soon, thank you for your support!
