I'm struggling some with the upcoming new release. I seem to have two days a week when I have lots of inspiration and great creative writing and the rest of the days everything is harder, seems forced, and I don't get much done. Taking a few days off and doing fun things seems to help when this goes on for a while.
Creating the event/story assets and the coding is easy no matter which day it is. Motivation is still lower on the days I struggle however.
The update is progressing though. I may end up turning the first event into a story. It won't be a love story like the family story but it will do a good job of giving the player some perspectives on what it is like being a crime lord. It fits into the lore of the game world well in many aspects. If you are looking for a "feel good" story, this isn't it. The MC is rather harsh at times and evil but he still has a heart and may end up turning the story into something positive (don't know for certain yet).
If I ended the first event right now it would be a long event. My gut tells me to make it into a story and that's probably the direction I'm going to take it. I haven't started on the second event yet due to how long the first event is taking. I keep stretching it out.
I still don't have a release date yet since several things are up in the air. I could release something mid-November or I could take longer if the first event turns into a full blown story.
I could do what noobtrain did and make a part 1 and a part 2. The Family Trouble story will probably always be the most important and heart warming story in the game as it brings the MC's family back into his life (in a somewhat tragic way however). I don't expect to top that story in any way (next to impossible) but what I come up with will hopefully be entertaining and engaging.
That is my story and I'm sticking to it, lol!
