Do you use any project management/planning software? I feel like future releases could stand to be better managed in a more strict manner. Obviously I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but it's very clear that there's this "perfect is the enemy of good" kind of mismanagement going on where deadlines keep sliding. Might be worth looking into giving yourself hard deadlines and just having things get pushed to the next release cycle
Not a lie, just a change of plans or ideas, do you have those?
The game appears to use Illusion's Koikatsu for all the models and rendering. He's probably using the studio tool. If you look around you should be able to find a repack of Koikatsu and more googling should give you a crash course on how to use the studio
Thanks, so learning how to use the studio tool and Ren'Py would be a good place to start? Of course, this is the most well-made Koikatsu game I've seen and is certainly a goal to strive towards.
that sounds like a good game plan. Do your self a favor though, don't go big for your first game. make something small that you think you could finish, maybe in less than a year of infrequent work. I know too many guys who went off to make a huge game and the scope itself was the reason it fell through.
Seconding this. Don't go for a first game that you would publish (if it turns out well enough, you still can). A simple story, one character, two or three decisions. See how good you are at positioning, writing, coding, what you like and (inevitably) what you hate about the process. Then you have a first feel of how to approach a "real" project.
Thank you for the advice. I've definitely heard about starting small, which is the plan. It's all a bit overwhelming, though.
I'll use that structure, and I appreciate the advice. I'm going to start with Ren'Py instead of everything all at once.
We don't ban people for that, can you tell me your username so I can check the messages?
Dont know if it is a scam... Truth be told the dev seems to be one of the more active around which in this case makes me wonder... What would happen if he spend half the time he does making damage control into finishing the game...
As far as I can see there is no ETA for release given, so it cannot be delayed yet. However, Komi said he wanted to resume working on chapter 1 on Jan 1st, which should mean "special complete" so a couple hours to go, he's still on 30th of December as I write
But again, I cannot find a specific date for the release.Just weird excuses since 2020 and he's getting thousands of $ a month from his Patreon, telling people the game isn't be abandoned and saying that the game will continue at some point or so...
