Dev update #65

Happy New Year, everybody!

I’m still in the middle of the Giannah event, since I took a week off. Half of this event will be story-focused, and the second half will be a scene with MC and Giannah. I still haven’t started that part yet, so if anyone has any ideas or requests for that scene, feel free to comment below. I can’t guarantee it will make it in, but you never know.

SPOILERS AHEAD:

I want to talk a little bit about my plans for the game. Initially, more than two or three years ago the first part of the game was planned to include only Sue, Giannah, and Brianne at first. After that, MC and Doc would go on adventures together to other worlds/dimensions using a portal. (Yeah, at first the game was basically a R&M / SG-1 “parody” this was before I started making anything in the game.) That said, I had already written Kelly, Aurora, Billy, Jack, and probably most of the other characters back then, I also knew from the beginning that MC would have powers.

In between those adventures, MC would return to Earth, meet other characters, and the story would flow more or less the way it does now.

During the first year , I decided to change the order of some of those things and build things up a bit more before Doc and MC really get started doing their thing(I also had to prepare a bunch of assets that I didn't have at the time, I also had to solve some problems before I started that). I’m slowly getting to that part now, I just need to finish some things on Earth first.

I’m not going to talk about where Doc and the MC will go, but I already have four stories planned for that arc, and three of them will focus on Sue, Giannah, and Brianne separately.

These parts of the game will be relatively small, with a beginning and ending. That doesn’t mean Doc and MC won’t revisit these places, or that characters introduced there can’t appear again later in the game. They’ll naturally come up as part of the main story, I won’t make a separate launcher or anything like that. My goal is to make these smaller stories feel a bit like old point-and-click adventure games, mixed with what we have now.

I also have a lot more planned after this. There’s an entire storyline for Aurora, the Romano family, and the secret strip club owned by Aurora’s husband.

For now I want to focus on the main story and characters and bring them to some kind of "ending" (Because we all know what happens with these kind of games). After that, I’ll start fleshing out everything else.

Hope you guys had a nice end of the year. See you in two weeks!
