WSC Development Update
When Stars Collide EP 2 07/23/23Hi everyone! I decided that it's time for a small development update here just so no one is confused about the status of this project!
So Gilded Shadows (my main project for those who are new to my games) is slowly drawing to a conclusion. There are still a couple of months of development left and then a few more months of wrapping up loose ends for Kickstarter backers. But we are nearing the point when WSC can become my primary focus. Not quite there yet though.
But that doesn't mean I'm not working on WSC every week - it's just still isolated to occasional late nights and most weekends.
I actually do not recall how far along the story was at the time I released the first chapter snapshot.
Currently the project is 300,000 words.
- Asher's route is complete.
- Daaz's route is complete.
- Noel, Raif, and Yren are all somewhere between 45-50% complete each
Mostly what I have been doing when I work on WSC is writing. I am trying to get the rough draft done so I can get into revising since I do think there will be some pretty heavy revisions (such as inserting an entire new chapter early on). And, of course, adding in a new character.
In addition to doing a lot of writing, I have also been working on some sprite related things - mostly drawing new outfits and secondary hairstyles and things for characters. Just lots of work on sprite variations to add interest and variety to the sprites.
Also basically getting all the BGs re-done which is underway but definitely going to take awhile.
My main reason for this post is just to reassure people this game has not fallen by the wayside and is very much still under active development as my side project. And I have made progress on it since the first release.
One it becomes my primary focus I will update here more regularly. For now, WSC is still chugging along - slowly, but definitely making progress.
That's all for now! I will see you in a month or two with another update.
