Devlog #5: Act 2 Script-Writing

Hello everyone! A Cottage Story is coming along and I thought I’d update everyone with some script previews. 

The Process. I’m revisiting the outline and sort of combining, taking out, and adding scenes as I go. Although I’m quite busy with school and life during quarantine, I feel thankful to have extra time to think through the story of ACS and refine some areas that I originally wasn’t going to change. A majority of ACS’s storyline/story elements were created through generators online, d&d lore, and improv so I’m surprised a wider plot somehow developed over the course of writing it. 

The Goods. The script is about halfway at 30k words, which is an abysmal word count at this point but I’m excited about a lot of scenes coming up! In terms of art, there is no art since I have a “no art until script is finished” policy. I am an artist a thousand times before I’m a writer, and it's the best way I can ensure my writing will be finished in a timely manner. 

What next? Nonetheless, it’s still being worked on, I’m still alive and well, and as my semester comes to a close I plan on raising that word count to 50k and completing the game because I want to join a certain game jam in time…

Anyways, I hope everyone is having a lovely summer and getting vaccinated. Peace out!
