Saturday Update! (Patreon)

Hello guys! Time for updates!

Last week went fairly well I think! I ended up taking Monday off to recuperate a bit [ thank you very much for allowing this! ]

On Tuesday I got back to work setting up the coding for the Hammer/Drill choice! I was pretty excited about this since I think it's an important part and I had a lot of coding ideas for how I wanted it to look.

I'm very pleased to report that I managed to do the things I was planning! I built off my mouse-following code I set up for the basement night search and applied it to give the choice a parallax effect that also follows the player's mouse.

That combined with a slow dolly zoom makes it feel pretty fun I think ^o^

My gif software doesn't capture my mouse but it also becomes a little hand icon over the hammer or drill to show that they're buttons. [ you will just have to believe me on that I guess LMAO ]

But here's how it looks so far with the placeholders!

Then I dove back into the writing! 

Day 2 needs a LOT of writing. I struggled with it a bit on Wednesday and Thursday to be honest. I had some random BS summer anxiety and I just have a lot of trouble writing when I'm anxious.

But! I got into a groove at the end of Thursday and then wrote pretty solidly all Friday. I pulled a little overtime and wrote for around 11 hours to kinda make up for the slow week. Felt good to be making smooth progress again so I think the overtime for just one day was ok!

Here's the outline doc and chunks I have written so far:

As usual, it doesn't look like a whole lot of progress but each little box can sometimes represent a LOT of writing.

I also ended up pulling up my old 2016 script to see if I could cure some of that writer's block and it did help- although I was shocked to see how short the original scenes were! I'm definitely writing more this time LMAO

Oh, I also randomly doodled a wet strade last week. Inspired by the new intro with all the rain :)

Next week I'll be doing a lot more writing [ hopefully with less roadblocks! ]. Day 2 still needs quite a bit more writing for alternate choices. I'm hoping I can get Day 2 fully written next week. After that, things are going to delve into more unknown territory since the story diverges a lot from the old 2016 version at that point.

Anyway, I think it was still a pretty good week! 

Oh! and stay tuned tomorrow for the credits update! I'll get that all organized and set up tomorrow morning :)

Thank you guys so much for your support! I hope you're having a lovely summer so far! 

Stay safe and have a fun weekend! <3
