A Peak at Progress [25]

Just over a year of writing these, and I still can't remember what number is coming up next without checking.

General Life Stuff

Winter is finally ending and the day is getting longer, my birthday is coming up, and a new Kirby game is dropping the day before it. My job is fortunately not as hectic as I had expected it.

I am actually writing this at home while I have nothing to really do.

    Things are going alright. And now that the fall/winter blues are starting to fade, I'm hoping I can translate that into getting more done on Chitinous Carnival. Tho, I did get side tracked with a smaller project...

Cards of Change

As most of you have likely already seen, cards of change has been given a gallery mode. It will be the last major update to the game. Anything else will just be quick typo fixes or game breaking bugs. The reception to it was quite good, and I'm happy so many people enjoyed the story I wrote for it!

    I had actually tried making a TF based game back in December, but it never came to fruition. But, I finally managed to put some of the tools I built to test with Cards of Change. However, with that out of my system and off my to-do list, I'm returning to work on Chitinous Carnival.

Chitinous Carnival

After spending like fourish months writing code for the game, I will be spending time writing and drawing new scenes for Chitinous Carnival. My goal is finally get rid of the temporary fun house loop.

    As it stands, when you revisit the attraction area the game replays the introduction sequence for finding the fun house. This scene resets a bunch of game data since everything is hard coded to work off what you do the first time through it. Therefore, I'm planning on adding an assortment of new scenes to the attraction to get rid of this set up.

    Furthermore, my goal is to have Chitinous Carnival be a "finishable" game by April. Currently, CC has no endings. Not even for when you use up all your tickets. So, I am going to add some endings to activate once you meet various conditions. These are going to be very basic and likely text only endings. However, I'll make sure they can be replaced as needed with more detailed sequences.
