Devlog #2: Script-Writing

Hello everyone! I hope y'all had a nice summer break or summer in general. Here’s a look at the 100% professional, very serious outline.

Game update?  So the script is at like 15,000 words and I can say with certainty the game is gonna be longer than 40,000 words unless I decide to cut some parts out. Which I expected. 

Pretty sure it won’t release in October because it’s looking to be a bit longer than I thought and October was a pretty ambitious release date anyway. The outline is fleshed out from beginning to end so it’s just a matter of writing it. I really want to at least get the writing out of the way by October because it’s gonna be way harder to work on this game when school starts (and I REALLY want to start on my next game).

Life update? I was kind of blind-sided having landed a job as an online art instructor! I’m really happy since it’s more flexible than taking part-time jobs but this month I have to prepare a lot of material and plan for the class which is also the reason why the script isn’t further. 

I feel like writing this VN is my job too and I really hoped to be further by now but I’d rather spend extra time to make it better than to rush the story.

Version 1.4 An extended demo is on its way with updated UI, text size options, and more choice options! Also Minoga Translations reached out to me to translate the game in Russian, how exciting!! Now I just need a Chinese translation so my mom can play it haha

That’s it for this month’s update but thanks for sticking with me and supporting A Cottage Story!
