I dreaded the fact that eventually I had to start creating renders for the next update. Actually I didn't realize straight away, but eventually I figured it out. The first scene of the next update was supposed to be a fight scene, and I was convinced that no matter how much effort I put in, it would look like dog shit.
I don't know what I'm doing. I create games based on vibes and what feels right in the moment. But you can't do that with animations. People already don't like the sex animation I put in my game. How are they supposed to feel about animations where I make characters actually do stuff?
Believe it or not. I was a little impressed of how the animations I made turned out. There are still a lot of animations that need to be made, but at least the first two are done.
So... Some of you might not believe when I say I dreaded starting with this scene. To those, I say, the evidence is pretty clear. I didn't just finish the text for Episode 8 (The next update; 11,000 words), I even finished the text for the update after that, Episode 8.5 (11,300 words). That's something I've never done before. I almost started writing the update after that, but I couldn't. Towards the end of Episode 8.5 I noticably fell out of a flow state. The words no longer came naturally, and my writing suffered. With which I mean, I absolutely killed it with the text that came before that. I told you I restarted writing Episode 8 from scratch, and yeah... 100% worth it.
The next two updates might be the best ones yet. I'm convinced. Now all I need to do is convince you. And looking at the image that comes along with this post, I'd say I will have an easy time with that. I mean, look at it. I should downplay the expectations for my future fight scenes (for my own good), but I truly think I can deliver something good. Give me a bit more time and I'll surprise you.
Anyway, I won't be home tomorrow. And then next week, I should probably work on this month's special renders, but Tueseday I'll be back working on this scene. Unless inspiration hits, and I decide to write Episode 9.
Not sure what you guys should be hoping for. Probably the later, because that means the game will be finished a little sooner.
Keep your eyes open for future updates.
Until then. Enjoy!
