Harvesting Corruption: New Direction
So after playing a few sandbox games I realized, unless you know exactly what you should be doing, it's really obnoxious. And my game is a sandbox game. I planned on making it really DEEP so you'd have a lot to do and could always be busy or doing something but, that won't be enough. So I'm going to make sure the journal is MUCH easier to follow than the "Quest Like Hints" system I was doing before. I'm going to beef it up and make sure you really always know where to go, unless it's a secret event or something specific I want you to find on your own. Of which there are a few.
No big news here really. There was already a Journal System. But I'm going to make it a little more noob friendly. Basically, you do something, open the journal, it tells you what the next thing is. Simple as that.
As far as the Halloween game is going, I'm on the last scene. I've already done the voice over work, the writing. The coding, the music, the SFX, MOST of the images... I just need some good marketing images for the main menu and the game over page. I'll release that to you guys. Then a couple days later release it to F95Zone. And then back to Harvesting Corruption.
When Christmas comes around, expect me to take another week or two off of HC to work on another Holiday Mini Game... Same with Easter. Oh and probably Thanksgiving... I've seen some hot ass Indian Chicks...

Don't take it the wrong way, but i think instead of seeking perfection and falling in the scope creep (when a project begins to dramatically, unexpectedly, and repeatedly increase in size, complexity, time, and cost) you should first build up a skeleton of the story, then add from there muscles, tissue and skin, aka complexity; more characters, dialogue, routes, etc, possibly listening to feedback then if you want.
Story and Characters were written first. 6 months ago or so. The only thing creeping in now, is giving you guys a more mod-like quest journal. Nothing has changed. Except character models. Those changed because I remastered it. Still the same story. And the ending is already written. The Holiday themed mini games are no connected to Harvesting Corruption. They’re one off’s just to put out something finished you guys can play while I keep working on the main game.
