Hi!
Quick info on what I've already done when it comes to preparing Episode 1 of Cybernetic Long Con. Let's go through it:
- basic writing - everything is THEORETICALLY written with added and coded choices, but it's only the base level. I know what needs to said, what needs to be done in each scene, but I still want to go through it again and see what's missing just to add that extra layer of detail for each character. Which means more choices and more natural dialogue.
That will be my focus for the next couple of days.
- environments - 95% complete - I don't think I'll have to do anything else in that regard, but you never know what new ideas I'll come up with during rendering, so I'm leaving the 5% just in case
- props - 90% complete - same situation. Just leaving more room for more props. I managed to get my hands on so many cool stuff! From university props, medical, food, cigarettes, drinks. Everything a character would need to act like they are in the real world and not in a game standing still and doing nothing but talking. I'm 100% satisfied with results!
- character creation - 100% complete - I still have doubts about my characters' skin texture, but I don't know what else (or how) to improve it, so I'm leaving it as is. At least for now. Maybe I'll learn new tricks in the future that will help me push realism to the next level.
- coding - 50% complete - I still have some gameplay elements to code, but that shouldn't be an issue. Base coding is already done, now I have to put it to use!
- rendering - 1% - Nothing to tell or show here, really. I will begin rendering in the next couple of days after I'm 100% done with writing.
Given the last month's struggles, I was thinking about pausing pledges for the next month. But after heavy thinking (not drinking!), I made a choice to continue working. What exactly would that one month of pause give me? More time to relax... Yeah, sure. Relax and think about debts I'm going to have to pay soon (which are not even mine to begin with). Nope. Not gonna happen. So I'll busy myself with work.
My master plan is to take 2 weeks or maybe an entire month off from my day-job, but we'll see if that works out.
That's it! I hope you enjoyed all the images this month!
Take care!
