Progress report (20211029) (Patreon)

A lot of things have happened recently, the steam, the commission.

I report the current situation one by one.

I'll start with the steam thing.

In fact, regardless of whether steam banned my game or not, my game should continue.

The game was banned by steam is really hit me hard, so I was very depressed at that time.

But just because the game was banned doesn't mean that the game can't be put on steam.

I just had to go further to get the game back on Steam.

I've already discussed with the agent what to do.

The game has to change its name and modify or delete some of the dangerous characters before it can be re-shelved.

When the game is successfully on steam, it will not be banned again because of the regulation.

So currently I am dealing with the work of the steam version.

When I finish it, I will put the game on steam again at the right time.

After discussion, we think the problem is "her", so I am currently making changes to this part.

I will re-release the game with a new cover art and a new game name after I finish the changes.

I'm not sure when the game will be released, but I have to finish this part of the work first, and then we'll discuss it later.

And about the cover commission.

I had commissioned an artist to draw the cover of my game in September, 

but the commission was terminated in early October.

The main reason was that the artist I commissioned had some problems with the line work,

especially the artist did not seem to be familiar enough with the human skeleton.

After many discussions and corrections, the problem could not be solved.

To me, this part of the skeleton is still very important,

and I can't compromise with this cover as the main impression of the game.

In the end, although it was regrettable, I decided to stop this commission.

But the cover commission is not over.

I have found another artist to draw the cover, 

but he may not be able to start my commission until next February.

Let's just wait and hope for a good result this time.

And because of the steam, I actually commissioned another artist to draw the cover for the steam version.

To put it simply, I currently have two artists on commission.

One draws covers for DLsite and patreon.

One will draw the cover of the steam version.

The main reason for splitting into two is that the artist, which draw for DLsite and patreon , his style is likely to be banned again if I put it on steam.

His style of painting may touch the sensitive nerve of steam, so I think it is quite dangerous.

In order not to let this happen, I commissioned another artist to draw the cover of the steam version.

The other artist's style is less of a problem, but there may be a difference with my game style.

But as an cover, I think there will be no problem, there are many games also have different covers because of different regions.

Anyway, the steam version of the cover will start drawing at the end of November, should be earlier than to see this cover completed.

The above is the current status of the game, and I have recently found an artist to help me draw the background part of the game.

We've been working together for a few days and it's not too bad, so I'll probably let him handle the background of the chapel this time.

Of course, I will also supervise the drawings that he draws.

To be honest, it's really a lot worse to have someone to help me with the game, 

otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle the next stage in my current condition.

But the artist is only going to finish the background part of the chapel first, 

after that it is not clear whether he will continue to cooperate.

At the moment, I have not completed the character design and stage design for the Chapel, so I still have to spend time to sort it out.

But I have to finish the steam version before I can think about the new stage.

I really have a lot of things to deal with right now, so I'll deal with them one by one.

Soon it will be close to the end of the year again, although the year is not over, but this year is really bad.

But no matter what, I will make this game better and better.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

最近發生了不少事情，steam的事啊，委託的事啊。

我在這邊一個一個報告目前的情況。

我先提steam的事情。

其實不管steam有沒有ban我的遊戲，我的遊戲應該都要繼續。

被ban確實打擊很大，所以那時候我的心情也非常低落。

但這款遊戲被ban不代表這款遊戲沒辦法在上架到steam，

只是就是得繞更遠的路才有辦法讓遊戲重新上架。

目前已經有跟代理商討論該如何處理，

就是這款遊戲得改名並修改或刪除部分危險角色才有辦法重新上架，

等成功上架後就比較不會因為規制又被ban掉。

所以目前我都在處理steam版本的工作，等處理完後會在適宜的時間再次上架。

我們討論後認為問題應該是出在"她"身上，所以我目前在針對這部分進行修改。

在修改完成後會用新的封面圖以及新的遊戲名稱重新上架。

至於何時上架這點我也不清楚，總之我必須先把這部分的工作完成，之後再討論了。

而關於封面委託的事情。

我9月那時候有委託繪師幫我的遊戲畫封面，但在10月初的時候這個委託就終止了。

主要是我委託的繪師在線稿處理上有些問題，尤其繪師對於人體骨架似乎不夠熟悉，

也因此在多次討論以及修正後還是無法解決這個問題。

對我來說骨架這部分還是很重要的，作為遊戲主體的印象我不能妥協。

最後雖然很遺憾，但我還是決定停止這份委託。

不過封面委託的部分並沒有結束。

目前我又找了另一位繪師來畫封面，只不過他可能要明年2月才能開始我的委託，

就在等一下吧，希望這次會有好的結果。

而也因為steam的關係，其實我又委託另一名繪師來繪製steam版本的封面。

簡單的說目前我委託2名繪師。

1名繪製的會是DLsite以及patreon等地方的封面；

1名則是繪製steam版本的封面。

會分成兩個主要是因為明年2月的那名繪師的畫風如果放上steam，很有可能又會被ban掉。

他的畫風對於steam敏感的神經來說，我覺得相當危險。

為了不讓這種情況發生，所以我委託另一名繪師繪製steam版本的封面。

另一名繪師的風格就比較不會有問題，只是可能跟我遊戲風格有一段差異，

但做為形象圖，我覺得是不會有問題的，有不少遊戲也是因為地區不同而有不同的形象。

總之steam版本的封面會在11月底開始繪製，應該會比較早看到這張圖完成。

上面就是目前遊戲的狀況，而我最近也有找到一個繪師幫我繪製遊戲中的背景部分。

合作了幾天，狀況還不錯，所以這次禮拜堂的背景部分可能會交由他處理。

當然畫出來的圖我也會做監督。

老實說能有人來幫忙製作遊戲中的部分真的差很多，不然以我目前的狀況來說，

根本還沒辦法處理下個關卡的事情。

只是那名繪師現在只打算先完成禮拜堂的背景部分，之後會不會繼續合作就不清楚了。

目前我對於禮拜堂的角色設計以及關卡設計也並未全部完成，這方面我還得花時間去整理。

不過我得先把steam版本的事情處理完後才有心思在想新關卡的事情。

現在要處理的事情真的還很多，就一個一個處理吧。

很快就又接近年底了，雖然今年還沒過完，但今年確實很糟糕。

不過不管怎樣，我會讓這款遊戲越來越好的。
