Status Report!

Hey folks!

I have been meaning to do a status update. I just don’t like reporting hollow “all is well” messages without some progress to report. I continue to write a bit everyday. Things are moving along. I have been off on a few timelines lately so I am trying to get the next update to a stage where it's mostly done and I can accurately estimate how long it will take me to finish. Usually what I do is I add content to the game gradually so mid month I can say I am 5k/10k update then roughly estimate how much content I have in my notes, say 2500 words, then I can say I am ~80% done. Lately I have had so many parallel story lines that I get towards a release and I have a huge piles of unorganized notes, which may or may not take me a lot of time to edit  (instead of an update already half finished). Having a lot of notes to work from does speed the writing process but not all of it makes it into the final cut.

This is an ambitious month. Not only am I tackling two releases, but I also have a lot of cool behind the scenes development things like the ending tracker I demoed.  I completed all the tedious code for 100 endings and I know what most of them will be. I also have about forty endings already written so we are finally getting into the meat of the project. That’s right - there’s meatballs AND spaghetti here! 

I have a lot of content that has been on the drawing board for a few months that has been moved into its final editing and polish stages.

So far I am actively working on these scenes:

Evan mega date day

Drew alt date, waiting as a woman...

Yellow potion antics, bunker escape etc

Ariana’s spy mission

Craig’s main path 

More brothel content + variations away from Teddy

Evan is winning the Corps poll so he should pop up soon.

I estimate I have more than enough written for the next update but some of the pieces are out of sync and need some editing to provide cohesion. This update also has an above average amount of media, so it takes a little bit of extra time to chop everything up into something that makes sense and looks good.

I am going to start slamming stuff into Twine later tonight and then I will have a better handle of things I need to fix. Once I get around 10k words in, I am going to release this one and then start working on .92 with the remaining content and whatever I randomly start working on in the meantime :D
