Busy Week
Added 2019-05-10 17:43:43 +0000 UTCHi there,
I had a busy week. Main job drained a good amount of energy but I kept on working on 0.4 and some ideas for the next update.
To be honest, I don't want to stress myself too much. I want to work on this when I really have the feeling for it.
That's even more important as I've done the outskirts of Lerid (main city, slums, castle and holy church) so I can work on the story introducing the city and all the events inside.
This part is essential because some characters will show their true intentions and Sylia will have a very unique role.
I want a good story, a good feeling. It needs some time in the game development and out...I mean, not in the game...It's hard to explain but you have a better view once you go out sometime to do something else.
I read some game developers are burning out because of too much words, renderers, heavy roadmaps...I try to keep the feeling I have from the beginning.
My roadmap is still very long but I don't want to be overwhelmed with tasks.
That's why I don't think I'll release an update in June. I may do something nice for july.
That means that even if I'm working everyday on 0.4 and you don't see anything about it, I can't take your pledges without content to share.
So, I think I'll take pledges for a 0.3.7 in July.
I'm in time for the roadmap, mapping went much faster than expected. Now, I need to focus on the story and it can take some large amount of time for just one event (remember the very first ogre fight that took me one month to create).
Still, if you want to support me with donations during may and june, you can still do so on my blog on the support me page. It will be welcome as I work behind the scenes.
Thank you for your support, everyone.
I'll keep you updated on news about Lerid soon.
