Dev Log 47
🕑 Added 2025-02-17 00:34:18 +0000 UTCSpoiler warning! - This dev log contains a follow up discussion to the spoiler content in the last one.
Hey guys, welcome the first of the short dev logs as I wade through the rendering for 0.12.
I've had another good burst of production over the last couple of weeks: The script is now complete, coming in at 31,000 words, which puts it just a little bit short of the record holding 0.10. The script has also finished going through the proofreading process, and I'm now getting stuck in to the renders, having completed the first hundred or so.
Next, I want to talk briefly again about the time skips that I mentioned in the last dev log. A lot of you left detailed feedback about the subject, and it was all very useful, though it did make me realise that I really should have put more details in the dev log!
The main issue I want to clear up, is that some people seemed to get the impression that the game is ending soon: It isn't! Or that when the time skips start, they will all be close together and rush the game right to the end: They won't!
The time skips will be used to connect together long chapters of detailed day-by-day story progression, just like the game has had so far. So, to give an example, the game is currently 26 days long (as of 0.11). If I were to do the first time skip right now, it would then go to Christmas (in game) and then you would read another block of 26 (for example) days, just like the first 26.
So, if anything, I worry that I'm being too ambitious with the scope of my plan - each skip is going to have a year or two dev time worth of content between them, essentially splitting the game into chapters. So think of it like we're currently in chapter 1, "The Beginning"
Then chapter 2 will be "Christmas at the cafe", which may well end up containing just as much content as chapter 1.
Then chapter 3 will be "graduation", which will probably be a little shorter, but still significant.
Then chapter 4 will be "Culinary school" which may well end up being the longest chapter that finally leads into the ending.
So rest assured - I am in no way trying to rush through Cosy Cafe. I'm in it until the story is done, and done properly!
And with that cleared up, that about does it for this one. If any of you have any further questions about the time skip thing, or anything else, please feel free to contact me here or on discord!
Until next time - thanks for your support!

the time-skips make sense -- both to advance in the career of the MC and the ladies around him...and also because some plans, by the Families and others, will take a bit longer to germinate and unfold.

"as all hell" is correct, it's an idiom.

Tuesday 25 night time MC says (Perfect, you both look sexy as all hell)? Just before they take off the blindfolds. I don't think the word (all) should be in there. Many thank on that update CC, I do have one question why hasn't MC kissed either Hannah or Catherine, he's had plenty of opportunity to do so.
