DEVLOG 7.5 : I'm in it deep
[The poll is on Patreon]

Hey there, so this devlog is kinda special as I write it in a bit of an urgency.

I felt motivated to finish the update today, so I decided to boot up Ren'py and get to work, but as I opened Ren'py, I realized that...

Tales of Unity's entire script, is missing.

The main menu works, I still have all the renders, the script simply got yeeted, and deleted.

The last time I worked was 2 days back I had just finished to write Elise's intro scene towards her animation, and here I am facing a black screen.

So, not all is lost.

Basically all I need to do is grab the latest Beta I posted, simply copy and paste the script, easy isn't it ?

But that means that I lost 40% of v0.11's entire update.

I am Absolutely livid, I am mad beyond fucking relief

I won't be able to ensure ToU's update until atleast a while, this unironically fucked my motivation.

I've got multiple options in front of me on how to handle things.

Option 1 : Redo everything

I'll gather what I can from the latest Beta, and from there I'll slowly, build everything back, the main drawback is that it takes time, a lot of time but you'd get the full update.

Option 2 : Summarize and develop the main axis

This one is the easiest to get an update fast, the main scene with Lou would still get it's development but anything around it would be summarized by Stronk ingame.

keeping the main axis of development intact, but reducing the length of the update

Option 3 : Pick up Project: Jericho

Regardless of either of the 2 first option, I am unironically fed up to see my work, as slow as it was thrown away.

So I'm thinking about getting Project: Jericho's 0.1 out before finishing the beta, effectively putting Tales of Unity, in a micro hiatus of a month or two.

This option gives me the time to mentally reset my brain around ToU, while still getting a massive chunk of content through P:J out.

___________

Basically ever since I started "working" IRL, my time has been scarce and my life even more depressing, so I decided to quit my IRL activity to go back to, well writing VNs.

But I want to frank with y'all, I don't want to work on Tales of Unity right now, not after losing all of that major work I've put into it.

Careful, I'm not saying that I'm done with the project overall, FAR from it.

But I need a break, I discussed this with a few people, namely Story Anon, the dev of OOT, Cryo dev of Oppai Odyssey, also discussed a bit with Jestur from Ripples and Sky a common friend which is too preparing a banger VN

The main reason I'm scared to work on Project: Jericho is that I don't want to disappoint my patrons, these people that literally allow me to stay alive each month, I'm sorta scared that I could lose my only way of life by switching project, even briefly.

So I put this choice in your hands, fans, pledgers, and simple players.

Devlog # 4 : Moving forward

Hello there, it's been a while since the last devlog so I thought it would be a good time to gather and talk about my conclusion with the last devlog

Devlog # 3 : Focussing efforts

The main thing I get is that people want BIGGER updates, even over faster releases.

So I think you can dismiss what I said on the Devlog 2, the last beta is way to small anyway, and I wouldn't have felt comfortable posting anything that small anyway.

So I'll get back to work on 0.11 and get a proper, large update as the people asked.

As I said, I do have an IRL activity, I guess you could call it a "job" which is sucking quite a chunk of my time, but regardless, it shouldn't impact the workflow on Tales of Unity too much.

I'll be honest, I can't promise a release date, all I can say is that I want to release 0.11 before the end of June in a public release.

While I work on ToU, I'll keep a few infos posted about Project : Jericho, I'll repeat it but Project : Jericho won't be my main project until Tales of Unity is over, therefore no need to worry about it sucking away ToU !

I'll share every now and then some arts like the one just above when I feel motivated to work on one !

Another thing that I keep in mind is that, a lot of people didn't see anything related to Himia Ophelia, Mine in almost a year, and that's a huge nono.

Starting 0.11 I'll add screentime to these three, alongside Nelsie and Valoria of course.

There is a lot of content for Himia coming, due to major narative points surrounding her, the snow elf fans can rest assured that I haven't forgotten about them.

While Ophelia and Mine are in another part of the world with Ygritte they will soon get back on the "major character" which will happen during the 2nd part of Chapter 3.

With that said Tales of Unity has been there for almost three years, and it's starting to take too long to get an update out, I pumped 6 updates on the first year one per month / two month, and I want to get back to this INSANELY bad.

So I'll do my best, starting tonight, I really will.

I also have a lot of polls coming soon for Patrons, I want you to help me shape the game in something that you'd enjoy, I'll ask for character polls see who's popular, who needs more content, who could perhaps could use a small rework, and other things you'd like to see in this universe.

Until then take care, don't forget to CONSOOM water to deal with the burning, scorching weather that we're witnessing.

Have a nice day evening fellow cultured fellas.
