Progress update #2
Hi everyone.
This week I finally chose the name of the city where my story takes place. City is called Cascade Falls. This is going to be the name of the game too.
This week I thought long and hard about central story line. I wanted to include some dangerous criminal threat drama story, but finally I decided that I want to focus on relation building. In reality main fight is going in our day to day struggles, and they much more important to a story than some hero vigilante action
By now I have roughly 700 dialogue lines. I still haven't figured out software I want to use, for now I using Scrivener. I like it and if I will not find anything that will let me write branched story I will stick to it.
I have to mention that there is a rock band in a game, where MC may or may not play. I decided early on that I'm going to write and produce songs exclusively for this game. I know that it is too ambitious, but I thought long and hard and found that it is best course of action. Copyrighted music is OK on a background and if anything you can just easily change it. But not the music that MC plays.
Also I came up with plan of action how I'm going to do this AVN thing. As you know I have 0 experience in writing games, creating models, posing humans, and writing fiction for that matter:) So plan is as follows.
1. I'm finishing 1st episode of the game and I will start to breakdown episode for scenes. I need to clearly understand how many renders I'm going to need. What assets I need to, to build environments. It is good that first episode will not have many locations, because by plot MC is introverted and he is switching locations between, work, gym, bar and home.
2. I' will start creating renders. I'm going to need second PC to work in DAZ while other PC will do the rendering. I have Core i5 9600 and GTX 1660 ti. I know that it is not much but it will have to do for now.
3. There is at least 2 songs that rock band is going to play in first episode, so I have to write them and gather a band to play them. Luckily I know some of the musicians and my own brother is a sound designer and more importantly he has a rock band of his own and he will not only going to help me with music production but he also agreed to give me couple of songs of his band so I can cover them for a game.
While this is happening I will start to look for English speaking people to help me out with text.
This is it for now. Till we meet again.
