Mochi Moshi Dev Log #12 (Patreon)

Even though it's the 12th dev log, I want to make it clear that this game has not been in development for a year. The game has been actively developed starting August, if you remember correctly. Now with that little disclaimer out of the way--

I met up with the co-writer for Mochi Moshi recently and she gave me a full rundown on what she was working on, turns out she's putting a lot of word down on a bunch of nodes all at once and it's been coming out fantastic. With the coming out of Elden Ring, I expect our work to slow for a few days of course.

That being said work on the game's writing is going fantastic. We worked on some more of the organization to communicate where we're going with what on nodes so we don't step on each other's toes. Working with her on this has been fantastic!

As with a lot of these dev logs it ends up being a lot of information that isn't directly about progress, or what specifically we're working on. That's because we have been literally working on writing, characterization and game flow since day one. A lot of that stuff is hard to really talk about without saying "Yeah we worked on Weight gain Ass Expansion Week 2." Which just sounds very... bluntly impersonal I think?

That being said I do want to be clear with reports saying that, I personally think if I gave you hard numbers it's tough to directly spell out what our real progress is. I can say "we're 20% done with the story" and while that can be numerically true it can be more or less of that depending on speed and difficulty. You know when you're downloading a file and it's stuck at 99% and you're wondering why? Yeah I'm trying to prevent that sort of communication.

Will I be able to keep my ideal June goal with the script writing? I don't know, I personally don't think I should have said that earlier, but I will try to get very close to it by then. Is that disappointing? Probably, but I want to be very transparent with my supporters, you guys, on this.

I am having the time of my life working on this game, there have been ZERO hang ups on writing this when I get to it. Thanks for supporting me on this. If there's anything you specifically want to know about this project please do not hesitate to comment or DM me. And as always, please read the previous 11 developer logs. There's been a LOT of information in those that haven't been in any other logs.  Next time I will get you some fun tidbits and information <3

Thank you again!!!
