Saturday Update! (Patreon)
Content
Hello again folks!
I have another very simple update this week! I basically just got more writing done, uneventfully LMAO
I did head out on Tuesday to my grandpas farm to help pick some chokecherries, but I wrote on my phone in the car for the 3 hour round trip and then wrote when I got back, so it didn't really end up harming my productivity much [ if fact I think I got more done that day due to sunlight and lack of distractions LMAO ]
Anyway, here's the planning doc completion chart!
I spent the week writing stuff for Night 3, but Night 3 is super complicated and has a lot of possible scenes and endings in it, so I'm still not done [ that chunk sticking out to the left there is still Night 3 stuff ].
I believe I have 3 weeks of writing left to do. I think I can finish Night 3/Day 4 in 1.5 weeks, and same goes for the 5 'floating' endings. It might take a little longer than that but definitely around that much.
The entire game is turning out a lot longer than I expected LMAO
Strade's original path in BTD1 was about 4000 lines of code, while I'm currently at 7250 lines of code for the remix so far- with many scenes left to write and all of the image/animation lines left to add.
It will definitely end up as at least 8000 lines- I wouldn't be surprised if the final script file ended up at 10K lines. For another frame of reference, TPOF [ including the DLC ] has a script file that's 22K lines long [ but we definitely don't want to end up with a 3.5 year development time like TPOF LMAO ]
Anyway, I'm excited to be getting fairly close to finishing the rough script! I'd really like to be done with the raw writing haha!
Thank you guys so much for your incredible support! Despite my struggles with writing, I'm so happy to be working on this project and working for you!
Stay safe and have a good weekend! <3
