Russ' route is complete!

That's right! The first route is fully drawn and implemented! Currently, it sits at 4 game overs and 4 endings! I'd say total runtime is about 15-20 minutes but there are a lot of extra dialogue if you chose other options! I am proud with how it turned out! It's my first (playable) dating route ever, I learned a lot!

It's looking like most routes will last the same amount of time (hopefully)

Theoretically, the first route **should** be the longest to produce as the implementation of Russ' route included the intro and drawing sprites for everyone else, as well as some foundational code.

Who comes after Russ?

The answer is Erma! I chose her to be second because her route has a coding mechanic unique to hers (and another character). I believe I mentioned this in the last newsletter? So I want to do hers next to build that code. This should be the last foundational code for the game! Albeit, it's a tall order. You'll see why.

Do you have an estimate on how long her route will take? Confession time: I am taking a week off of my day job, unpaid, just to work on this game. That is gonna happen during my birth week (wooo my birthday is in a week exactly!) (& it was a birthday present to myself) sooo with a week of working Erma's route full time, I'm hoping hers takes a month to a month and a half? I HOPE...

I am genuinely surprised still by how much work this project is LMAOAO I REALLLY underestimated it.

Did you know that I originally thought Dandori Downpour would take about 6 months to complete? And despite working on it daily for 6 months, I only got Russ' route done? Oh, what innocent times.

Regardless, I'm still very determined. I am not letting myself give up! I just want to make this game for myself at this point, so I can see my stupid Rescue Corps babes on my computer screen moving around and talking.

WELL... Sorry I left y'all in the dark.. Was too lazy to share last month (or in the zone, kee-hee)

I just really wanted to complete Russ' route. Here's to Erma's route! I am REALLY looking forward to hers (unsurprising)

Stay curious!~

I’ll be making a newsletter soonish!

THANK YOU TO THE MANY PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED!! You are all so warm and welcoming! <333
