Jobbold Day 3 Patron-Exclusive Update
Added 2019-07-14 00:01:00 +0000 UTCHey Patrons!
Here's a heartier update for all the patrons that throw money at us so that we can actually do things.
First things first, thank god you guys exist because without you, this shit would be taking AGES. We're at a phase where we can start doing some patron only updates because we actually have some interesting things to talk about in regards to future plans. Keep in mind these plans are a little bit up in the air and they're subject to change, plus I want to let you guys know where your money goes to. First things first, a discussion on Day 3, cause that's currently relevant. Like we said earlier, the deadline we're setting for ourselves for the art assets being done is 7/22 and we're making good pace to meet this goal with our two lead artists for this route being hard at work and then me trying to fill in whatever misc art needs to be worked on. You might be wondering why the writing hasn't been done yet despite the art assets being worked on. Art is being commissioned for the minigames that will be featured in this day just to give the game some extra flavor (Plus the type of art needed isn't my expertise so that's why I gotta pay someone else to do it). The two tracks for Day 3 are being made by Chinchow, the musician that made "Underlined in Red". The scripts are being reworked to set up some scenarios we had in mind for day 4, the premises and scenes are the same so that's why it hasn't been too much of a hindrance on the artists. Another thing I want to mention is that we're thinking of doing small Jobbold minisodes, where it'd be a really short route with no branching paths just for the sake of building on previously established characters or just for funsies. Though this idea honestly depends heavily on the amount of support people give because we never want any of the extra stuff we're doing to hold us back too much. Raising the scope of a game usually kills it so we wanna make sure that we don't overwork ourselves.
Plans for day 4 are formulating rather well, as we said before one of the two characters for the day will be Wizardbold and we might not hold a poll for the second character of Day 4 and instead settle with an idea we've had for a while, chefbold who'll be drawn by Waga. Attached to this post is a really rushed drawing of the design idea we had for her. (I drew her like, an hour before making this post because we only seriously started talking about her the other day. You can also see what demographic of people she's supposed to appeal to.) That's about it for this update, next week's update might have to do more with the discussion of minigames and their implementation. Also here, have this sketch of an idea for a psychic kobold because why not.
