[slimercore]

hopefully i will get back to it soon….

[slimercore]

really funny hs is picking up again as i start this game. well its been on hiatus for a but while i work on other things but ill get back to it soon

[slimercore]

this is what hell looks like

anywayyyyy finally getting around to drafting out the areas i was supposed to finish today and its going a lot faster than planned since. well i mean you can see why LOL but yea i just have two more areas to get through since i want to finish scene two draft today

[slimercore]

damn baby u got that cheshire smile

alright so basically im fiddling with jasproses forms. theres the light 'true' angel form which is essentially their og homestuck design but their main material body - the one that all humans can see - is jaspers body. obviously being a vessel for an angel leads to some...side effects.

i wanted a way for jasprose to smile while holding some form of realism and this is what i settled on. i think when she firsts smiles it would literally be ripping the jaw apart. a huge gorey mess but soon enough the body adapts.

next area sketches :) its the backyard, shed, and front yard. ill do all three tomorrow and then draft out scene two

[slimercore]

doodle pages but i took a photo with my phone instead of a screenshot lol

[slimercore]

alright finished the first draft johns house <33 i think in the future when i start redrawing stuff i might change the layout of the rooms slightly just to have more stuff idk either way! next thing i have to do is three more areas b4 i can start working on the script again. hmmm it might be a little longer to do since i dont have any pre-existing layout

also! i did a few designs for john an i think i have the beginning of an idea of his walksprite. so thats good

[slimercore]

alright...only three more rooms to get through!! ive realized i can reuse things like walls and carpets for other rooms which makes it a whole lot faster so the main thing to do is just the actual objects. im probbb not gonna do it detailed more like. blocks of color. that represent what the thing is.

and also im beginning to realize im going to have to remake every room / area from scratch bc i have to code certain tiles to be certain things. but id have to redraw everything anyways so its not a huge issue. itll be tedious but gives me a lot more control and end result wise look better anyway. i do the same thing with writing! first couple drafts always get completely rewritten, not edited.

this really is just about laying a base and it wont feel as over whelming. ill have some visible where i can go back and comb through it section by section...still a bit unsure what to do when i get to the actual. event part where i have to code stuff to happen. i should watch more tutorials but im so bad with focusing lol

[slimercore]

ok! first first draft of johns house where i just mapped everything out and did an equivalent on rpg maker with random blocks to give a vague understanding of everything! next ill start doing actual painted sketch like i did for his room. the whole thing should go a lot faster since i know what im doing now + ill spend less time worrying abt the details. room draft under the cut

[slimercore]

alright so figuring out my to do list. or rather the order of which to do things. i drafted out scene one and now im going to work on the extra bits BEFORE scene two. but in order to do that i need to see everything he can interact with in game like objects and places to go etc

so my plan is to draft out every possible area you can access before reaching the next scene which at this point is the rest of johns house + his front yard. so i think ill go do that then the next scene and so on and so forth until i have the entire script drafted out and all possible areas drafted as well.

so thats the goal:

-complete setting drafted

-script drafted

after that...hm i would have to start work on the sprites as the next most important thing. but for now thats all im gonna focus on!

[slimercore]

here it is btw! obviously VERY rough draft. everything i did on one layer w/o much care for detail. i need to fix the back walls and make everything bigger as well as add the posters on the front walls but! its here and im proud of it :)

[slimercore]

finished the rough draft of johns room :)) its looking pretty good!!! the most important things is maintaining good perspective since rpg games are. very one directional yknow? youre not looking straight down but at like a downward slope.

the second most important thing is getting the tiles to look smooth together. if an object is multiple tiles long you have to make sure they all work together as well as the surrounding area. i dont have to worry abt that rn since i just needed to get the layout done but when i start redrawing an stuff thats important

ummm ill need to organize my to do list which ill do tomorrow. i think ill focus on getting all the settings done drafted so i dont worry abt future placement of things but at the same time ill be doing expansions of the script and all.

[slimercore]

finally got my adapter and set my tablet up <333 took a while since my mac had settings that didnt allow it to work but i fixed it and i can draw! itll take a while to get used to using csp again but for now im doin johns room!! i wanna see if i can get everything drawn tonight as a first draft. less abt making it look good and more abt getting it. visual yknow?

SO FAR!! its been good if not difficult at the beginning as i was getting my grounding but i got the walls, carpet, door, and bed done. im trying to do the window but i think the perspective will mess me up so idk how itll turn out but ill change it in the future if its bad

[slimercore]

okkkk so i shifted some stuff around and theres 23 'main' scenes. bullet pointed what happens in each. so now im gonna go scene by scene and expand with dialogue and narration words on top of that ill add in all of the 'side' scenes basically saying what you can do, where you can interact, an the extent of exploration and what text will be said for certain stuff BEFORE reaching the next scene.

this means stuff you interact with early on might change later. then just repeat this process for the whole game. idk if thats how other rpg maker games were scripted but it seems the most logical to me! also. 2 and a half more hours....

[slimercore]

actually. i have encountered a problem. im going through and expanding on scenes to list what actually happens so i dont forget. and one them i have absolutely no idea what i was trying to say. hope its not important lol

[slimercore]

I REMEMBERED!!!
