Dev Update
Added 2024-04-01 03:43:45 +0000 UTCI really wanted to post "Everything is cancelled, here's the assets" as an April Fools joke, but I'm a coward and just want to please my people. You are my people!
While I'm completely missing my self-imposed deadline of "this month" for the release of Dairy Tale, it's due to personal drama I won't go into here. Despite that, I've still made great progress. My last post was 10 March, so 2.5 weeks ago. Here's the old stats -> current stats:
Current stats:
- 58005 words -> 75,123 words
- 494 character images -> 682 character images
- 37 backgrounds -> 85 backgrounds!
In the last 3 weeks, that's huge progress for one developer... Not even counting the code I've written, that's 8 character images and 2 backgrounds per day on average. I'm putting in more work on Dairy Tale than my real job (don't tell my boss).
My work the last few weeks has been focused on rounding out things and making sure quality is good enough for an "alpha" release.
The core story is done.
The core endings are done.
Some alternate endings are done... But I have ideas for 6 more that I've outlined and saved for later....
From here, it's all refinement and expanding the story to make sure what's in my head matches what you're playing, with some side endings to round things out. I also need to make the CGs to reward you for completing a story route, and add sex scenes, and... Yeah. More stuff. This game got huge and I love it. I really wish time was unlimited, because I've cut literal chapters of the story in my head from the game to put it into words to present to you... There's so much more I want to say and do, but I just don't have the time.
So... I leave it to you:
Do I polish things and give you a solid, playable game? Or, do I release an incomplete game now to give you an early preview with less quality?
Let me know! I'll keep working in the meantime! :D
