Damn, sucks to hear that FF will be on hold..I'm gonna miss all the ladies.I finish my post grad at uni in 2 years so I am half way (also it is not a masters).
Let me answer this. Tldr = on HOLD.
Hello friends, people, and countrymen. As some of you guys knew I went through heavy assignments and my finals last month. Everything went well luckily, a for the past few weeks I was in my home country for family and friends. Now that I am back home getting ready for my third year of post grad, I am trying to think of the work/balance between Uni, general life, and FF. After a lot of thinking, for the best results I believe I should put FF on hold whilst I am at Uni, FF due to heavy rendering requires not only a lot my time but my computer (PC); with Uni and placements it is difficult to get quality FF work done. However while I was overseas with my laptop I decided to start writing my other project, 'Lost in No Man's Land' (name is not final). I am hoping that because it is less rendering heavy and more choice/writing heavy that I can get a lot more of that work done even whilst I am studying. It is also a nice change of pace for the audience as well and I. Ever since I started making FF, people have been begging me for something more game-like rather than a linear VN. Whilst I obviously cannot make a game-game as a solo-dev during uni, I can make a CYOA with heaps story branches. To not slow down the process of this I can make the renders more efficient (e.g. render in 2k instead of 4k or 8k, then downscale). Also there could be much more community involvement as there is no set specific story I had to adhere to like FF.
I understand that some people are going to be displeased hearing this but I think it is the only way I can approach this. FF can be continued in the future, but I am very unhappy with the current speed I can render high quality images.
I am going to be asking for a lot of feedback on the next project so feel free to voice your opinions.
Regardless of what happens I am super grateful for all the love and support I have received over the last three years (fuck time flies). Wish you all a lovely summer (NH) or winter (SH) coming up.
I will for sure check out your new project, if it has the same vibe as FF and the same Fetishes I can't imagine anything but amazing. Good Luck.
