First REINCAR Developement log

So for this week i've mostly been getting familiarized with the Ren'py software, the one i'll use to make Reincar, i had already tried a few things in December, but since after the break i kinda forgot a lot i got back to it.

Additionally, i've also been, organizing the order of what i'll work on, and also identifying everything i'll need to do for this project, so i went on twine and wrote everything that came through my empty head, from the script writing, audio sync, to the accessibility options. 

Obviously i don't know yet if everything i wrote down will be something i end up working on, but at least i have an idea. And the order from which i'll work on things is this one (for now) :

-Script
-Storyboard
Once those two are done, i'll split the first chapter into a number of scenes, basically each scene would take place in a single background so next we have:

-Scenes (The actions and dialogue of the characters)
-Backgrounds

Ideally i'd want the characters to really pop up against the background in an organic way, maybe with the background and characters being drawn with different styles, or with other tricks like depth of field or something. So dat's why the last basic thing to do i feel is :

-Sprites

As ya can see there are a lot of things that are missing right now, like any audio aspect, or refinement of the UI or anything like that, it's simply cuz that are things that belong in the "polish" period of the development, as before working on these, i need a base to make them work in, like, i can't really see if the sprites pop up from the background if i don't have a background, in this case, i can't see if the audio mixes well with the pace and visuals if i don't have them in front of me while i do the audio tests.

So before i do any of these,i at least want to have finished the visual aspects of every scene in the first chapter.

Please do remember that i am completely new at this, that i don't want to rush it, and that especially these first few months of development will be slow as i'll be learning new things as i go, so i'll say it in advance :

Thank you for your patience, and your support ^w^ !

One small note for this week, This first dev log is public, but from now on, the next ones will be only available for Patreons at or above Tier 2 as these posts are behind the scene content.
