Anyway, yeah, legit. Made this blog a while ago because of Souma and then put it down because I wasn't happy with my writing. I thought me making game was going to be a one time thing.

Yet turned out I kept on making more games even after two years later, even after tasting the horrors of being a person with moderate skills surrounded by scarily talented people (which I genuinely find scary).

In the initial planning, there were more areas you can explore before the visit, and there were some other books you can read, including what Souma wrote for publication. Because it was made for a game jam and it is my first time making a game, I have to cut corners, but incidentally the things that are left out are the parts that are more important. If you have played 0.4, I deeply apologize for the extreme lack of context.

The ‘pest control’ appeared really suddenly. I’m still a little sad because I wanted to introduce them properly since there are more than what currently presented.

I also haven’t adjusted the GUI (mostly the colors), since it’s Kopanda’s premade.

I think since I made most assets by myself (exception was sound, music and GUI), during my first time in creating I learned a lot about my strong and weak points; Apparently 70% of the overall time wasted on me getting stuck in the writing part, since I’ve been more of a comic and illustration person. This explains why I couldn’t get more area and book scenarios done on time, as they’re the even more harder part for me to write. The character sprites were done in three days, meanwhile the backgrounds were all done in a single day, since they are very rough and I only try to get the bare minimum done.

Somehow there’s an urge to finish what is left so I can start planning for NNRN 2022. Souma and the man in the left are already deployed, but the guy in middle haven’t made a single appearance yet, which I should be worried, since he is hard to write. I do find all the brainstorming and scenario writing work hard to do, though, so again, the graphic assets for draft area are now ready while the writing is at 0%...
