[News] Splitting the Melons
Added 2017-07-22 03:40:24 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Buka chan and I spent a good deal of time last night talking about how Chapter 2’s development has been going, and we both feel that it’s been moving along well. BUT we also feel our ambitions are growing too big for what we’re trying to deliver.
So we’re stepping back a little to bring what we’re doing back into view and pulling in our focus.
We’ve decided to split Chapter 2 in half. With the next update, Chapter 2 will be as long as Chapter 1, and given the amount of time it took us to create Chapter 1, it’s probably best to do it now while there is a natural break and climax in the story.
This will let us start polishing what we have, and add a few patron only side stories to this chapter giving more purpose to the roamable area, the Photography Building.
It will also take some of the pressure off Buka chan who has been whacking out concept art for all the scenes, and give them more time to focus on some elements that are currently missing, such as the character avatars and feature frames (a new feature that is still in the works).
The second half of Chapter 2 now isolates what is Chapter 3 and some pretty big changes in gameplay. Taking a bit of the pressure off me from working too far ahead and creating a gauntlet of art tasks for Buka chan to fill in. It can also feel very lonely working that far ahead ._.
Given the time we have to work on Paizuri University, it’s better for us to be wise with it and do what we do best working closely together.
We hope y’all understand, and please let us know your feelings either by DM or comment. We’d really appreciate it.
Chapter 2’s release is still scheduled for July the 23rd! And we hope y’all looking forward to it! : )
