Devlog 14: Upcoming Break



The latest news from Canada!



So with my hourly goal method, I was able to get a lot done this week. Chapter 2's expressions are now all fully coded. I now have just the three methods minigames remaining before Chapter 2 is complete. I realized I needed more music, so that completed percentage bar has dropped down to 60%.

My holiday break starts next week and continues into mid-December. Though I might be able to get some writing done, I don't know if I will put out another devlog after then.

Currently I'm really hoping that I can begin beta testing File 1 around New Years. I've noticed that I always get more motivated around the end of the year, and I'm sure this time will be no exception.

My Patreon will remain active during my break however, with scheduled behind-the-scenes posts every week.

Enjoy the holidays, and keep an eye out for some upcoming sales!

Until next time!

Devlog 13: Hourly Goals



A brand new devlog from Canada!



Last week I began breaking up working sessions into hourly goals that I needed to hit. Creating a sense of urgency really helped me get started, and with this technique, I was able to finish a lot of UI that I may not have otherwise gotten done within the week.

I'm really hoping to finish everything in Chapter 2 by next week. Currently the biggest challenges I have to completing it are needing to create three more new minigames, and making the casefile.

I will also be taking some breaks over the winter holidays, so my devlogs will briefly become a little more irregular. However it will be back to weekly posts on Tuesdays by January.

Until next time!
