It's been a hot minute since the last time we updated this dev blog, there's no point in denying it. A lot of things, in our lives and in the world at large, have changed for better or for worse. Is it fair to say that these are trying times? I think so. Unprecedented ones, in some ways. That's not an excuse or really even an explanation, it just is what it is.
The bottom line is that we're still here. Still doing what we can, when we can, to inch this project further towards becoming a reality. I personally have so many moments in the script that I dream of one day sharing with anyone willing to give them a try. I hope that some day I'll be able to make you laugh, make you smile and look forward to whatever's coming next. Maybe I'll even find a chord to resonate with you, or a heart string or two to tug on. I hope so. That's what makes it all worth it, in my admittedly limited experience.
Creativity is an outlet. It's an act of expression, and personally, for me it's often a satisfying and even joyful one. But it's a lot of work, too. It takes time and effort, and life weighs on me heavily these days. It weighs on my team mates too, in its own way for each of them. But we're trying to hang in there, and I truly hope that you're doing the same, too. Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for reading.
nice to see this is still alive!
ReplyDeleteHey! Priorities. So long as it's something you want to do, you set the pace.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your still about and trying your best. sometimes things go on the back burner and thats ok, I do hope to read more of your work someday Lunch and ill always be checking back here every now and then.
ReplyDeleteWooow, I’ve had this in my bookmarks since 2013, I’ve been wondering what happened to this. Good to hear y’all are still going :)
ReplyDeletePepeLaugh oh yeah, keep goin'
ReplyDeleteI gotta admit, you know how to cope with ostracizing every other writer on the project.
ReplyDelete'trying times', more like you trying to control everything.
So now, we get to see how you do, on your own, without Suzu carrying you.
Kenji, my brother, are you okay? We appreciate you checking in, but it has to have been at least half a decade since we parted ways, your anger is nowhere near mutual.
DeleteLabeling this January 1st is a pull, for sure.
DeleteOh, there's no anger, just spite and laughable irony. I was let go because I couldn't produce anything. If the rest of the staff were held to my standards, you'd all be fired. But, of course, you can't fire yourself, can you?
ReplyDeleteYou've surpassed Final Fantasy Versus XIII levels of dev time and are only marginally under the dev time of Mother 4. I seriously don't know what's keeping you guys. You might want to finish the game while you still got at least 1 waifu that's worth making it about.
So is this dead or....
ReplyDeleteNah, a good chunk of the script and most of the music is done, and we're slowly checking off art assets when we can. It's really hard to find the time and energy to create these days but I really like what we have, and I'm thrilled/nervous to share it someday.
DeleteYou guys still good?
ReplyDeleteStill good! Progress has just been slow on the art front, hence the lack of big flashy updates. We're hoping to release an updated demo that includes all of Act 1 this year.
