Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well! Life has been pretty stressful lately on many levels,
running 2 projects at the same time was a bad idea, at least in terms of being that ambitious with both at once. Music has been my biggest blocker these past 2 months since I had a lot on my plate, so that's something I'll tackle once I'm done with the drawings and animations for chapter 3. I've also decided to remove parts 2 & 3 of chapter 3, since these characters will appear later in my Visual Novel and I didn't want to spoil them with scenes that have no story behind them. On top of that, I just really want to finish the Beat Banger mod as soon as possible so I can move forward with my own universe and ideas.
For my Visual Novel, I'll be sticking with Ren'Py over Godot for now since it's simpler to manage for a first project. I've already finished the interfaces and 2 systems I haven't seen in other visual novels, the ability to change your character's skin color to better identify with them, and voice acting options (full dub, vocalizations like breathing/moaning, or mute if you prefer imagining the voice yourself). It'll cost quite a bit to pay voice actresses, so I really hope to have lots of support when it releases!
The prologue will be very short, just enough to give you a first taste. Quality has been reduced slightly for now to move faster and stress less, but I'll polish everything once Beat Banger is behind me.
See you tomorrow for a new Beat Banger shot with Mia!
