Progress Update #5 - The Time is Nye!
You must be registered to see the links
Hey all,
I wanted to jump on again with another little update for the cabin and where we're at.
So, last month I wrote the plot for episodes 6 to 11, and at some point near the end of episode 11, I got a little writer's block and didn't do much else.
This month wasn't any better, as I've written episode 12 and the opening scene of episode 13 before the block reared its ugly head again, and I've not managed to get past it. I know where I want the game to go, but getting there is proving trickier than I'd like.
With that being said, I feel like I could sit here for the next 6 months and probably not make much progress with it either, and I think the problem is that I'm focused too much on it. I think if I just leave it for a few months and not think about it, I'll start to get some ideas that'll help push me forward and start making progress again. I have the start and the middle done; it's just finding what to do with the part between the middle and the end
So going into next month, my focus is going to be on turning the episode 6 draft into a playable script and starting on the art too.
And speaking of art, I feel like this is what's always slowed me down. I like to think I've become an okay writer with some decent speed, but my art seems to be going the opposite way, and I just seem to be getting slower and slower with it. Which is why I've decided to hire an artist to work with me. I don't have anyone hired just yet. I have one guy that might be available at the end of this month, and I'll be trialling him, but if that doesn't work out, I'll be actively seeking an artist to join me, which should speed up for production.
Since I plan on starting it back up next month, May's payment cycle will remain paused, but June will be unpaused ( depending on whether I'm happy with the amount of work I get done ).
