Yeah, when I get the time.
I'd paused development while Orion was working on an update cos' I wanted to merge my stuff with his, but that never came.
Since then I've deleted Chapters 8-10 and I'm working on tidying up the end of Chapter 7 with new scenes for most (all?) characters/routes.
My plan is to make the new Chapter 8 the end - but part of that means working out how to end it (without it feeling rushed).
I did briefly add a whole new "main loop" like "Control App": Morning, Work, Evening, Night - repeat - but I think the story is just too linear for it to work.
No timelines, sorry.
There are a few reasons this is taking longer than it was, in no particular order
- I don't have the feedback I did have (no more discord)
- I've started a new job - which is quite a bit more demanding than the old one.
- Content - it's really hard to get the videos/gifs. I "borrowed" a lot of content from other games to get me this far and making my own is time consuming. I largely rely on stumbling across useful videos - but it's harder than it was.
I'm also trying to not get hung up when I can't finish a scene - which is harder than it sounds. I like to tidy things up and bring it back to a common path before I move on, for some loops that's just not happening for whatever reason, so I'm leaving a few deadends at the moment - awaiting content/inspiration/both.
Progress is being made though, sorry it's taking so long!
