Hey all,
I wanted to jump back on and give a quick update on what's been going on and what will be going on as we head forward. I made the post public so everyone here and on F95 could see it.
Time Off -
As you know, I took some time off to rest a little. I took on too many projects and was just feeling really burned out, so I wanted to take a step back and reevaluate everything. I didn't take as much time off as I was expecting, but it was enough for me to feel fresh and ready to get back in the saddle. I've decided to cut down a LOT of my work, which will be explained below. I do still feel like shit, but I think that's just because my mattress is shit. I think a new one might be needed. But the time off helped a lot. I explored a little (nothing massive, just sites around my local area I hadn't seen before), chatted with friends and family, and just spent some time to myself. But it turns out I don't have too many friends and family members, so I got bored pretty quick.
I was still working during my time off, though, mostly on WTHI, Adverse effects, and writing for the cabin.
The Cabin -
I've done some writing on the cabin while I was away—not much, but I managed to get 14 pages of a word document complete, and that'll turn out to be around 60% of the episode. I wanted to get a draft for the full game written out before actually starting work on episode 5, but I think that might take me around 2 months, and I really don't want to spend that much time just writing, so I'll probably keep doing that but also make a start on episode 5 too. I also plan on changing my work pattern for how I'll be working on the cabin. I used to just work and that was it, never setting up any plans or following a strict guideline for getting the episodes out. That's going to change. I want to have a new episode of The Cabin out every two months.
Adverse Effects -
I want to get Adverse Effects out before I start on anything else. It's close to being finished; I just need to write the script for the final sex scene, a post-sex scene, and then a bonus scene at the end of the game. I currently have around 300 renders done and will be looking at having around 700 when it's complete. I hope to have it released in September at the latest, but I'm not sure. I've been working on it in my spare time before bed and on the weekends.
Where The Heart Is -
I'm still working on WTHI; it has always been my main focus, as you know, and that won't change. We're close to getting Episode 24 out, and once that's done, I'm going to spend a week just smashing as much of Adverse Effects as I can to get it done quicker.
Future Minigames -
I've decided to pause any future minigames, at least for now. Once episode 5 of the cabin is out, I will look at starting up Nordstrum's Treasure again, BUT that game is much bigger than I ever planned it to be, so I probably won't be finishing it anytime soon. I'll probably still do some plots for minigames in my spare time, but for now, I just want to focus on getting Adverse Effects finished and then getting as much of the cabin done as I can.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask below.
Thanks,
Cell.
