✨Weekly Progress #34-36✨

Finally taking the time to do a writeup...! Um, what did I do 3 weeks ago...?

Weekly Progress #34

Prepped for Spooktober

Drafted & posted Post Mortem for VF game

Wrote 1k words for BWOBK

Sketched new SYVNH sprites

This was three weeks ago haha... I really have no idea what to talk about. It's been quite a whirlwind for me the past two weeks.

This should be the last sprite I need to make for SYVNH. I still have a lot of art and a good amount of things to revise before I'm done with this project, but... it's weird to think that it is coming to an end.

Weekly Progress #35

Made a base outline for detective story

Wrote 8.1k words for Spooktober

I've been (re)playing so much Ace Attorney the past few weeks. Phoenix Wright were the first visual novels I played as a kid. Someday, I do want to make a mystery/detective VN, but... I lack the confidence. For fun, I made some basic mystery outlines for a AA doujin idea, but I don't think that'll come to fruition for a while.

And then... Spooktober has started and taken over my life!

This year I'm working with @4noki-vns again, but this time as a co-writer! She had proposed a summary of the idea a couple months ago for a death game genre story based on Chinese mythology regarding Meng Po Soup. I loved the idea so much and I'm so glad it'll be a real project release this October!

Weekly Progress #36

Started reviewing Spooktober script

Wrote 9.7k words for Spooktober

More spooktober writing! 😝 To get myself to write faster, I made myself finish whole major scenes before I'm allowed to play more AA or read any more WrightWorth fanfics. That really lit a fire under my butt, haha...

I had originally planned to finish writing in 10 days (optimistic), 15 days (realistic), or 22 days (worst case).

I finished in 9. ✌💀

[loopingpyre]

While I can’t think of any other series like Flowers, 4noki is a dev on steam with three free mystery Yuri VNs. Fatal Twelve has mystery elements as well. Synergia too.

Any of these seem interesting? Is there any other kind of story you’d be looking for?

I'll note them all down, im in a bit of a stupor and don't know what im looking for and only start to remember when i cant do it.

Oh i just remembered i wanted to try the demo for Detective Instinct! Gah!

I'm doing well here lmao.

Thanks for the input!
