I give myself deadlines, but miss the deadlines. There’s always something that needs polishing or I’m not far enough, and it puts me in an uninspired mire when I go for such a long time without putting out anything. I said in my intro post that I was giving myself until the end of this month for a demo release of my main project, but due to the sheer intricacy that I’m going for it’s so uninspiring to have worked so much and still be more than halfway’s worth of progress away from a demo.
A few days ago, I saw Blazer’s one-day hack floating around YouTube again and got an idea.
And that’s how I ended up today, in day three of seven for my one-week hack. Having laid most of the ground mechanics and started chapter 1 today, I’m aiming for a solid three chapters by the time the 23rd rolls around… and if I’m not finished by then? I release an unfinished product of shame!!! booOOooOooOOo! #3spoopy5me
I don’t have much interesting stuff done with the rom yet, but because I am obligating myself to post progress each day: That man’s got too much power with his color-coded weapon! Call the color-coded weapon police!
Making myself post evidence of progress encourages me to make more progress so I have flashier-looking evidence of progress. Ye gods, my wording.
Were the mod-wizards to undergo this, I’m pretty sure that nobody’s body would be ready for whatever glorious insanity would ensue. You’d have to snatch it from Arch at the last second to make sure he doesn’t delay the game to add matchmaker features, though
Indeed they are. My original intention was to make everyone start with E/D in their weapons and have each weapon give a ridiculous amount of weapon experience, but it ended up seeming really arbitrary that I limit the player’s choice of weapons in earlygame when it’s only a three-chapter game to begin with. Having them fixed means that Indigo can wield killer axes (as well as some new, colorful ones) right off the bat as a wyvern rider, but her axefighter friend remains relevant as he can use brave and silver axes (since the Fighter line gets an A in axes).
The second-last progress screenshot, and I’m wasting it on another R-profile?! Time flies like an arrow. Toting a suspicious item with that kind of smirk? Definitely up to no good in the neighborhood.
I’m not giving myself much time to make portraits given my time limit, so they remain simple splices for now. Maybe I’ll re-visit them later or something.
