god I saw lunar and nearly had a heart attack thinking it was 1.4.6.Project W Post: September 2024
Happy Project W Wednesday! And it is actually on Wednesday again.
Last month, I discussed how the game is becoming more of a real story rather than purely ideas. September has reminded me how far I still need to go, though in a good way. I know enough about what I'm doing to start picking out points that are weak. I've been condensing/simplifying some things and making other aspects less basic/straightforward.
A funny example is that I realized I had a bunch of single characters in similar but technically different groups/careers. In real life, of course there are a lot of similar but not exactly the same work options. However, in a story, it was gonna be way too many things that'd need to be named and remembered and distinguished from each other. It's gone from over a dozen to around eight. That's still a lot, but Project W has a particular naming convention for stuff. The fantasy elements don't use typical names like "mage" or "warrior", and there's not too many major characters who have standard, real life careers either. Almost everything is unique to Project W.
Another thing I did this month was that there was a major side character and subplot I'd had as an element for almost a year that I cut entirely! Removing that character and the group they were associated with from the story was definitely needed in hindsight. It was an incorrect fit, but it had been an early idea and a pillar a lot of things were built around. I'm pleased with myself that I could see past the parts I liked and take out future problems by the roots. It makes me feel a bit more confident that perhaps I can pull this more ambitious project project off.
The three leading characters have continued to develop as well. There's one who is particularly formed in my mind- this character even has a name! That's an amazing step. The other two leads have a lot going for them too. One went through some big changes lately and got new qualities this month. I think I'm at a point where I'll mainly be adding more and more to what they have rather than removing and replacing parts of them. I think people are gonna like them
And that's everything for this month's Project W ramble!
I wish! There's still hope for it to come before the weekend though :')god I saw lunar and nearly had a heart attack thinking it was 1.4.6.
i like to imagine tamarack's voice to be similar to mabel pines voice from gravity fallswhile we're here waiting for the next beta who or what do y'all imagine the characters voices sounding like?
tamarack's voice would be the definition of squeaky and high for me, especially with how many exclamation marks her sentences end with lmao. qiu's i can imagine is a more smoother and leveled out voice, with the capacity to sound big and loud but also soft if that makes sensewhile we're here waiting for the next beta who or what do y'all imagine the characters voices sounding like?
Lets. Fucking. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOso apparently the bug report for 1.4.6 was opened literally a minute ago in the discord idk if theyre gonna release the beta tonight or tomorrow?
