[1.20] Prototype fully playable
Hi guys! Yesterday I finished building the episode prototype in the game engine. A basic version of White Russian is now playable, start to finish!
I made some changes based on tester feedback from the previous week, adding in a new scene between scenes 7 & 8 on the outline (thanks Behbeh and XG), and two more scenes that just came out while I was writing.
The prototype is now out to story testers for more feedback, and I've already had some really great suggestions and observations (thanks DESpear, XG, Mariam Hallows, Secondarian, Falloutbabe and Gremlynne Herald #2).
What still needs to be done
– Adding art
– Replacing placeholder text
– Add in a couple of minor side branches
– General editing to improve pacing, hotness, and player decisions
I'm going to try especially hard not to over-edit this episode, which I think I was guilty of last time.
Faster Pussycat
Astute observers will note this episode is being produced faster than usual! There are two main reasons:
1). The episode was fully outlined already. (I wrote up a beat sheet on it earlier in the year.)
2). It's a simpler story than the last episode.
That said, I'm pleased with the steady progress. This week I'll be mainly editing, based on feedback from the story testers I read through this morning. Have an awesome week, everybody, I'll report back on progress on Sunday or Monday. 🦀❤️
