Hey Boo,
We're into the second month named after a Roman emperor. The economics are pretty bad for everyone and my bosses seem to think that's my fault. Little do they know, it is my fault. Not only do I engineer the seasonal dips in sales but I also broke the economy and gas prices. They are so close to the truth, hew-hew-hew.
Progress
If I didn't track these numbers, I'd feel like I didn't do anything at all. That's just the kind of mentality I've adopted with jobs that either hide the big picture or have a big picture that doesn't make sense.
Adding the programming to the to most lines really balloons the page count, which is why I count down. When I started it was some two hundred. This fifty pages that I made progress on left 90 pages behind. Another way to track the inflation is there were fifty-seven thousand words before and that is now at sixty-five. Seven thousand words of programming and direction. My typewriter (what I call my chromebook that I write on) cannot keep up with the size of my document. I have to write the tags and sometimes wait for the input to catch up.
It is nice to start rendering though. The parts of the job that I really like are the writing and the renders. Still. I wouldn't mind handing off some of the render work. I just haven't found another artist that is as like minded as me. Which might be a mistake but compromise hasn't worked out that well so far.
Coming up
I've been thinking about a good bug bounty for people finding mistakes in the game but people can only really buy the game once. I have made renders for people on my discord who have been very supportive of the game and helpful but that never feels like a huge deal as it probably should be. Most of them were already thanked in the credits. Though, I'm not sold that people really like having credits for this kind of game. It's different audiences for different projects. Some things like youtube videos and fan games love tracking in game credits. Vtuber supporters love buying merch and watching live streams and getting their names read in super chats. There should be a cool thing that the AVN audience likes. Don't say fast updates, we're working on it.
Rewards One cool thing is special renders. This month I have Jane trying out some of the new street environments and Hiding a few more girls around. Then, there is my viral reference. "You are never too old to kiss your mother on the mouth."
