Lt. Freya - First Assignment UPDATE!
Added 2021-05-26 06:51:01 +0000 UTCJust to keep you all updated. I've drafted about half of the story for this mini VN which I expect to take about 30-40 minutes to play each path. You take the role of Captain Morrison on his first day in command of the Explosivo. You meet Kiira and then... well, I won't spoil it but I draw on the short story "First Date" which was a patreon bonus last year! The story revolves around managing conflict and romance on your first day in command.
You get 3 paths to play where you get a sexy ending with Freya, Kiira or even the villain Genn! I've cut the story down significantly for the sake of keeping the project simple and i expect to have a completed draft within a week. Then the next step is editing- and preparing the scoring / paths system. Then I drop it into RENPY and code up a test file using the temp assets I've drawn and shared here. Once I get the story functioning and get a few play testers for the paths?
I'll start finalizing the assets and painting the backgrounds. Final step is the soundtrack then I'll release. I have no timetable but it's taking longer than I thought so I may start season 2 before I finish the VN just to keep things going. But it's def happening so I'm rather pleased with myself.
So far I'm happy with the art, the story and where things are going- mostly I'm happy I've been able to keep the project scope tight. I have a tendency to "go big" and projects get away from me. So I'm watching out for that bad habit and keeping this as small as possible to make sure I finish and release it. I'll continue to post updates on the VN as well as sketches and such for season 2 in the coming weeks.
