Episode 6 - Progress Report #4
Hey everyone
After a bit of a rough start this week, I managed to write a lot in the last two days. I'm probably done with about 60-70% of the draft now.
It's been fun to try out some more intricate scenes in regards to choices and consequences . For example throughout the party, you'll be able to decide (on multiple occasions) how much Ashe wants to drink. This will lead to some variations, depending on how you handle it. A drunk Ashe might be willing to do some bold or careless things that a sober Ashe wouldn't. On the other hand, an Ashe with a clear head might have some opportunities that a wasted Ashe would miss. And who even knows what would happen if you decide to go totally overboard with the booze...
There's a lot more factors in there that decide how this party will play out, both from earlier episodes and from things you do at the party. Just as an aside, there's already more choice variables in Episode 6 alone, than in all other episodes combined (and there's still more to come).
As expected, writing this episode isn't as straightforward as earlier ones. It takes a lot more care to keep all the different possibilities and world states in mind. My current rough plan is to finish writing until the end of December, and hopefully get a good chunk of environments & characters done too, before I start doing renders in January.
I'll also try to squeeze in a bonus pin-up again soon, next on the list is a certain lady that often occupied Ashe's daydreams during math class . You can also expect a general poll again soon.
❤ Alright, enjoy your weekend everyone! Thanks for being here! ❤
