We're nearing the end of this series, and things are getting a bit intense. I expected this one to be pretty tough, but at some point getting ready things just clicked and this mostly came together on its own. It might help that this is a subject that is, in a way, closer to my heart than some of...
2023-02-28 23:27:06 +0000 UTC View PostWe're done playing around with the minor gods. This month we meet the first of the elder, greater gods, and... it's kinda cozy? Except when it's not. The series continues, interviewing each of the gods in the world of Project Wild One!
As always, this isn't strictly canon so much as an exp...
It wasn't my intention for these journals to turn into the “things were hard, but they're finally looking better” markers in what is apparently a certain type of cycle for me, but right now that's what they're turning into.
The short version is, I got sick again, I got caught ...
I hope you've had a lovely holiday and will enjoy the coming of the new year! Today I'm continuing this series of interviews, as it's proven to be a fairly fun exercise in perspective. With this we're halfway through, though I imagine the later ones may be more intense. We'll have to see how that...
2022-12-30 23:37:51 +0000 UTC View PostIt's proven an interesting exercise for exploring some of the pillars of the lore, so to speak, for Project Wild One, so I'm continuing with the idea of interviewing some of the gods from the world. This one was honestly a real challenge just because I tend to be pretty diametrically opposed to a...

Well, I don't consider Project Wild One a scary game really, but it's true there's plenty about the setting and atmosphere of the game's design so far that lends itself to having spooky bits. I'd been debating writing more interviews with the other gods or the like, but I feel like if I'm writing...

In thinking about how this world comes together, I do feel like the gods will inevitably be big players, whose influence will be felt in a lot of different situations, in a lot of different ways. The more I thought about these beings, how they'd fit into the world, and how the world would be shap...
2022-10-01 04:03:19 +0000 UTC View PostThings are finally shaping up with the big overhaul to Project Wild One's backend to the GUI and the snazzy new bit, but I need something to add a little pizzazz to this update. It's time to add a player request, something I think the players would get excited about! And I need you 2022-09-03 23:26:23 +0000 UTC View Post
I tried to drum up a good short story for this one, but I felt like a lot of the ideas that came to mind were kinda repetitive of things I'd explored before. I decided I needed to work more on expanding the world and giving it personality beyond the bare basics I've laid out so far, so this becam...
2022-09-01 03:44:54 +0000 UTC View PostFar too often, I let these journals get delayed too long because I'm not happy with where I am right now. I want to have good news for you guys, and even if today was rough, maybe I'll finally crack it tomorrow. That pushed this out a lot this time around, but at this point, I could probably just...
2022-08-30 23:58:26 +0000 UTC View PostI'm getting more comfortable with what I want this game's world to involve, and after last time's exploration of how I want the game to feel, I'm feeling ready to start taking stabs at building out what's actually happening here. I'm blending a lot of different goals and desires here to try and f...
2022-07-29 20:55:59 +0000 UTC View PostThis one feels just a little embarrassing to publish, because it might sound like I'm exploring some stuff that sounds pretty basic and obvious. I've been frustrated with this aspect of my writing and how my work has turned out for some time, so I decided that an important step in figuring out wh...

I've been thinking more about what the story of Project Wild One needs to be, to support its strengths and its goals. I'm still learning about what's possible in this game and where the final version will actually go, but things are starting to fall into place a little at a time, and at this poin...
2022-06-01 06:04:10 +0000 UTC View PostI'm happy to say that Project Wild One v0.03 is finally nearing completion! I just sent out the test copies to my proofers to try and shake out as many bugs as we can before I'm putting it in you guys' hands! Usually we budget about a week for that, but this has been a crazy complicated one so I'...
2022-05-29 00:53:25 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I go back and check the last Dev Journal I posted, I find myself a little frustrated. Part of that is because the recent work has been a slog that I wish I could have gotten done and past ...
2022-05-06 22:33:22 +0000 UTC View PostI'm finally getting to the point I actually have writing to do again! But so far it's pretty basic stuff with a lot of focus on being just the right amount of vague, and I've found myself yearning just a little for a good narrative again.
So I thought some about what kind of story I could ...
We've been speculating a lot about the world for PWO, so I feel like it's a decent time to take a break from building up background lore and try something a little different. This month I'm exploring a basic design challenge to try and find a solid solution I can use going forward. Hopefully in e...
2022-03-31 22:21:51 +0000 UTC View PostAs much as I may seem inclined to rambling, I have to admit, writing dev journals has always been hard for me. But the worst thing about it has to be that whenever I'm having a hard time with the rest of my work, it gets that much harder to face the prospect of writing a new journal. I hate to di...
2022-03-04 05:13:56 +0000 UTC View PostAfter several side-writes exploring subjects that I found interesting but that many might have found... creepy, it's finally time to explore something a little lighter in the developing world and story of Project Wild One. There's still loads we don't know, and I'm not even sure how story-heavy t...
2022-03-01 07:24:31 +0000 UTC View PostI'm still working steadily on Project Wild One, and that means this month's side-write will continue our exploration of what's necessary to make this project's world "work!" Unlike my previous projects, PWO is being designed mechanics first and the story will grow around that, so this takes a pre...

I was pretty happy with how it worked out last time, so I think I'll keep putting both the basic and super cheats in this post to simplify the release schedule.

Glancing over the last Side-Write I realized there was still a lot to explore here with the questions of how the world of Project Wild One should be built. As I've mentioned, the story is still very much up in the air, and I intend to let the demands of the gameplay shape a lot of it-- in other w...
