The script is currently at 45 pages and almost finished. Basically, there are at least 3 more scenes left to write. After that, I’ll begin the revision and editing process!
As I mentioned before, this is the stage where I organize everything for programming, and I usually end up adding or cutting some scenes. Once the revision is complete, I’ll finally be able to start programming!
The good part is that there are already many sprites done to use, so it might not be too difficult. (The bad part is...you guys know me, I’ll probably make more to improve immersion >.>)
To help myself stay organized, I also made an imagemap to separate the routes. It’s VERY difficult to organize all the routes so that one doesn’t interfere with another. (Just like last time, when Harlequin showed up in scenes he wasn’t supposed to…)
Yep! it's completely blur just to give you guys an idea of the scale of things, and it's not even finished yet, since I haven't finished writing the script to tie the final scenes together and wrap everything up! There are also lots of unique dialogues, like on Day 2, that need to be arranged in the right order!
In the meantime, I’m also working on their monster designs, since I plan to show them in the game. The current silhouettes will gradually gain more details until the right moment!
about the shop:
I was planning to launch it this week or next, but I decided to wait due to some legal concerns.
Many products from my game have been sold without authorization, because of that, I’m looking for professional guidance to better understand copyright and the proper steps to protect my work now and in the future. With this knowledge, I’ll make sure that any future agreements or permissions are in the best interest of myself, the game, and the characters!
About Pierrot Plush:
It seems there were delays due to the end-of-year holidays, and now they’re having some difficulties getting Pierrot’s hat just right. The company told me they’ll send photos as soon as they have a more accurate sample for me to show you all!
I’m a bit concerned about these delays… but as a last resort, if things don’t go as planned, I can still request a full refund for everyone and try another campaign.
