Lord of Lies Devlog #13

December, 2nd

Hey guys it’s Joy, and we are in the final month of this development for this project! I am more than happy to say that the story is done! (and it’s longer than I meant for it to be 😅but, I suppose it wouldn’t truly be my project without a high word count). Now I can’t tell you exactly how long it is, but- it’s a big boy.

Starting the 3rd, I will be sending this game to my playtesters. It’s basically just the visual novel portion, so the entire story start to finish with simple enemy encounters, and walking around, (no campsite dialogue, no npcs, no boss fights, etc…) 

Because that’s what I’ll be working on all this month, all the extra before the deadline. But having the actual story complete is a major step. I am officially ⅔ of the way done! All the extra stuff is fun, and is just adding to my flat color painting basically, I get to shade, render, and gloss it up in time for all of you on the 31st.

Honestly, I feel like I could get all I need done in 2 weeks vs 4, so I am feeling real confident, and am officially out of November which was all grinding, and it was TOUGH. But, I am super proud of myself for consistency, and pushing through when times got hard. I’ll be sure to talk about that more much later, but right now, it’s time to have some fun because we earned it!

I’d like to credit Chimeriquement for this silly idea of how your character’s would respond to the: “Would you love me if I was a worm?” question.

Next Week’s Devlog Sneak Peak

I’m keeping this devlog super short this week due to the fact I am very busy this weekend, and Monday for my 25th birthday!!! Also happy birthday today to my birthday buddy VeryFatCat (the sprite/CG artist for both Tattoos and Tulips and Crabs and Cocktails) she’s also one of my beta testers for this project and one of my best friends! I hope she has a wonderful day.

As for next week’s devlog however, I will go into all the numbers: how many bosses, how many towns, how much camp dialogue, and most importantly how many hours 💀

So if you’re into statistics and setting expectations then come back next week!

Thank you for reading, until next time!
