6. How much planning have you done for your game?Β
Oh god, what havenβt I planned?
A lot of the work I do for Overcast behind the scenes is pure planning. I like to think Iβm very detail oriented, so I put a lot of work into making out every part of the game something to be learned or discovered.
Β Iβll take entire days just planning out small lore details, character designs, and maps from top to bottom; and giving them a reason for being in the game. Iβm admittedly a bit of a perfectionist too, so even minuscule pieces of the game I put extreme amounts of thought into, enough to fill entire sketchbooks with sketches like these~
Of course, this means more time away from the pixel art and programming part of developing the game; so Iβd recommend to any new devs reading this to plan in moderation so you can actually start your game~ |D
9. What have been some of your biggest obstacles working on the game so far?
[skip if youβve already seen this one]
Haha, definitely working on this while juggling a day job! Iβm a barista by day, gamedev by night (and off dayβs) so Iβm working a good 90% of the time Iβm conscious. :.D
I plan for all that to change soon however, when I reach a certain part in developing the demo; thereβs a certain secret plan I want to conduct after the demo is released. If itβs successful, I will be able to work solely on Overcast as my day and night job; speeding up the development process, and giving me more time to work on it and rest when I must.
I canβt promise anything or go into details just yet, I want to be at a certain place with the demo before I make any promises; however I will go more in depth with this plan when more of Overcast is developed and put into the engine.
Until then, keep an eye an ear out for newsβ¦. ;)))
Oh, that and music. FL Studio fucks me up, nuffβ said~ Β Β Β Β Β
