Chapter 16 - No Secrets
A pointer about the chapter. There are multiple choices in this chapter that are quite story-changing.
I'm not on board with the whole "point system" in a Visual Novel. I think it diminishes the narrative even if you adjust the points per choice. I went with the "making the decision" at the right moment way of storytelling. I've only seen 1 or 2 Visual Novel games handle this system almost flawlessly.
I keep seeing the trope, "Do the chores = char relationship +1". It feels silly and it's not even delivered well, because most of the time that 1 point is a make-it-or-break-it for a storyline in those games(you get screwed over for not doing chores, lol) . Although it does have great potential if fleshed out properly, I don't see implementing it in MTWY as a good choice. Maybe in the next game.
I need the experience and time to take that on. Hopefully when MTWY blows up and I could dedicate more time on game development. *Fingers crossed*
It took 24 days to make this chapter, and we went a little off-calendar, but I'm catching up, slowly but surely catching up.
As some of you are aware we lost a day due to a power outage from a very bad storm. What's odd about the storm is that it let all its rain out in like 2 hours of very intense downpour. It was terrifying at the time(for work reasons).
The other extra days were because of procrastination, to explain; I was so concerned with doing this chapter right that I got nothing done. I'll try to do better next time.
Anyway, do you know the feeling of closing all tabs/materials or anything related to the work you were currently doing when you finished it? It's too much, feels good.
This chapter is as big if not bigger than the previous one, but we did make it in significantly less time, mostly because the previous one had more going on with group scenes and in the background causing it to need constant adjustment while this chapter mostly had individual scenes and story progression.
Chapter 16 contains 18 animations and 1081 renders, so it is up to par with Chapter 15's size.
Once again, thank you for your support. We couldn't continue doing this if not for you.
