Behind the Scenes: Day 1 Draft (1/6) (Patreon)

Heya Seniors!

Last month I shared the last of the character sheets we had prepared, so now I'm gonna start showing you what the game's writing looks like before it gets its final editing pass during coding. My process for writing SL is to first outline what's going to be in the build, then write a draft in a word processor with all the sprite calls I'll need. Then, once I've shown it to Dev and he's proofread it, I start coding the whole thing into Ren'Py, making adjustments as necessary. I know a lot of you are interested in making VNs of your own someday, so I figure a peek behind the curtains here would be helpful in figuring out how you can do it yourself!

Heads up, though. You may or may not encounter spoilers to things that haven't happened yet in-game!

Cheers!
