Well untitled is too a good title

"And it seems like it's worth your time, right? And, by the way, there's actually- the superpower inside of feeling alien is admitting that you might be an alien."

I was a year above most of them at school so they threw a "goodbye" murder mystery for me just before graduation, and about 2/3 of the way through the game we all realized that everyone had at least attempted to kill the victim. The game then shifted from "whodunnit" to "who succeeded in dunninit" which we all felt was not only super fun but above the usual level of narrative complexity for those games.

I think of the first draft as an armature.

If I was making a beautiful bronze statue, I would need to make a clay model first. And, depending on the shape, before I even got out my clay I would need to get some good thick wire and create a basic shape for the clay to adhere to, so it doesn't all fall down. Once I have this essential 3D wire frame, I can start building and subtracting and refining.

But if I try to refine on just clay, it won't have enough of a core to hold it up. I'll sculpt a beautiful hand only to have the whole arm fall off and go smush.

The armature isn't the sculpture. It is the frame you build the sculpture around.

The first draft isn't the novel, it's a sort-of-novel-shaped thing that will hold up everything you build and beautify later.

that's why we have sketch step in art!

also with big project like animation or poem i think about process as "fish from skeleton"

i do "fish head" with the idea and "what i am trying to say"

that's why my film "monster with red fangs" has reimagining of vampire myth - the "fish head" is antiracism message, and main heroes - black vampires, so audience should be at their side. But original vampire myth is "Vampire is a monster", which i played with. Entire film in the end is thought about "real monster is not who people usually clame so", and actual monsters there are Hunters

all is from "headfish" - "what exactly i want to say by my project", "what is main idea and theme"

after "headfish" it goes further - but still bones.

in my poem "and then the rabbit saw the sun", about my immigration expirience, i've made "skeleton" of chapters and what they should tell to audience.

it even end up in final poem - first chapter, in final poetic form, is asking questions which later chapters are giving answers

and then goes meaty layers - sketches, concept art/refs of characters, storyboards, raw version, semi-final version, final version Of Parts - then parts together

in my game "my rose will be my grave" (datesim) i made mechanics with test graphic and then started to add semi-final version of characters sprites, then - editing it to one style making it final versions

Pretty normal rush hour sounds, yeah? But this thing sounded something like this:
