Devlog 38: Climbing Ice



File 03 is still being written!



The last time I checked in with a devlog, I was 40% done with writing Chapter 12. Here's what I've done since then.

  • Finished Chapter 12
  • Finished Chapter 13


I've started to think of my writing process like ice climbing. I vaguely know that my goal is to reach the top, and some key landmarks along the way, but generally I am choosing where to stick my axe and place my feet as I go. It can feel unsafe, and slow, and sometimes painful, but as long as I have confidence and persist with it, I can make it. Does that metaphor make sense?

Thankfully, despite how long it's taking to write, this File is a lot easier to write than File 02. My hope is I can push through and finish the next two chapters by the end of this month, and then it'll be on to the fun part.

Until next time!

Devlog 37: Shadows of Suspects



The last time I checked in with a devlog, I'd begun writing Chapter 12. Here's what I've done since then.



  • Finished 2 sprites
  • Created a rough version of one background
  • Writing on Chapter 12 is 40% complete
  • Created a mock-up for an improved version of the UI


Chapter 12 is a lot like Chapter 7 — a big investigation — which also took me a long time to write last time. But just like File 02, the other chapters don't have as many things to complete.

I'd had a hard time finding a good map showing the Iqaluit region, so I just had drawn the region of Nunavut there. But recently I found a better map, so I have now fixed the Iqaluit file icon — which is why it's been changed.

Until next time!
