What should be our art priority? (Poll)
Added 2020-08-01 21:30:46 +0000 UTCHey guys,
I hope you’ve been able to enjoy, or will enjoy the update we’ve recently released!
As I was working on this update, I thought about asking our patrons what they’d like to see in the coming months. While I do have a set goal to reach every month for each update, if I end up finishing said goal early, I usually dedicate some extra time on some other things the project needs.
So I would like to ask you what the project needs more at the moment through a poll! It’ll help me focus on the things that people really want to see.
Do note that even if one element of the poll wins out, that doesn’t mean I’ll never work on the rest: this is useful for me as a tool to see what you guys prefer first.
Cheers,
Dev

As others have said, build your base sprite set and prioritise the story. Only if you have excess time should you make a sprite for the teachers or whatever.

2020-08-02 02:52:39 +0000 UTCThere's no reason to be mad about you stating this, don't worry. It means you like the game enough to want more, after all hehe. Dzahn usually puts out around 10k+ words per update (which is around the same number of words every other big projects put out). It might seem short while playing, but that's actually a lot of work, since he has to outline it and write it up, and then code it in the game (that's not counting the various UI stuff and other features he codes in for each update too). I understand you're worried this VN will go on forever (like a lot of Patreon projects end up doing), but we do have a set goal and an ending in mind already, as well an idea as to how long he'd take to get there, so we don't plan on drawing out Santa Lucia forever. Of course, having a full time job does eat a lot into the writing, but we do try to put out the best we can every update! -Dev

2020-08-01 22:51:44 +0000 UTCPlease don't be mad about it, but what I hope this game accomplishes is fast story development. There are so many VNs with great premise that for years have had quite short monthly updates, and their story is still not finished and they still feel like a demo. I completely love the story, art style, UI and the direction you are going, but please set one of the goals to finish this game in a reasonable time frame. Lunaris Games is one that showed you can develop a long, beautiful VN in a reasonable time, then release minature story additions, and then start another game that also develops quickly. I wish you luck, and I know what I'm asking might be impossible.
