Hello!
Thank you for checking our updates for PROJECT BEAT
How are you all doing? While the member are busy card against humanity, games, weird chat time activities during general chat time, some being unbelievably calm during the craziness at chat, and of course bribing people for baked goods, we’re still in the middle of working BEAT! So an update!
Script is still in that state of progression wherein it needs work and continuity. Writers and editor are doing their best even with their busy schedule and they're really great. What we only need right now is someone who can fully lead the writing team. We will be posting for a new position called Writer Lead. I sure do hope I could find one for the project in the near future so he/she can help out the writers :D
We will also try to go around the net going to interview some music students and what they usually do in a club to give us more information and add some for Music story parts. Club activities, how the orchestra functions, usual problems or issues inside a program, events and other things to ask. This has been brought up way back during writer's meeting but I think this is a good time to do it since we are now building the story outline for BEAT. If you know anyone who goes to a music program or clubs - please PM me here or email [email protected]
Music - I apologized if it seems it's in limbo as I would like to make proper comments for the music once I am done in Design and can focus in the story so the music that will be used in the final material are well set for the story. Many thanks for Swampie for the draft music too :D
Gameplay - for awhile now I am revising it to have a better flow in the vn with removing some initial ideas from the proposal/gameplay, and putting potential ideas that can be possibly simple to enhance the game for the players.
Design - Why is the GUI taking so long really with more version of changes? I would like to honestly say because I have more creative freedom on what to do with the project. Usually Renpy has already a built in template and I only need to reskin their template to fit the game in other request. With BEAT, I am more inclined to improve the basic idea because it's our project I'm very much involved in...also I tend to say 'oooh let me make things better' then I ended up burning my hours in that design >< There is also the part how the flow of the design will be, keeping the player's at ease of playing even if it's Renpy VN.
Art art art. The team are continuing with the character expressions along with background. Update too short? Lol
So I guess that's it for our usual update. PS: Checking the schedule we're at Week 22 of the project. Huh, we survived in that crazy chat for 22 weeks. - AI
