BIG NEWS!!!!!!!

THE PLOT SUMMARY FOR ALL OF CHAPTER 1 IS FINISHED!

...I suppose this doesn't mean much without context. To clarify, the plot structure of of Breakfast for Dragons consists of a series of 5 chapters. While many people equate visual novel stories with individual character routes with their own endings, BFD restricts readers to the chapter they are on until they achieve the True End of that chapter, which unlocks the next chapter. Of course, the existence of True Ends implies Alternate Ends. When I say the summary of all of Chapter 1 is finished, I mean that all routes and endings have detailed descriptions of the plot. This might not seem like much, but a completed plot summary allows many more tasks to be worked on. Such tasks include:

• The actual script for each route
• Finalized character designs/sprites/poses
• Background art
• CGs
• Music
• The remaining chapters

 Being a visual novel, BFD is a heavily story-focused work. Its design hinges on the writing, and without enough details, the entire project could suffer and turn into an amorphous mess. The actual summary is 34 pages in Google Docs and has been worked on since December 8, 2018. For 2 months, I've been devoting my time to carefully planning the plot of Chapter 1, fixing errors and plot holes, designing an developing characters, and setting the stage for the remaining chapters. It feels like I've spent too much time, but I'm glad I gave Chapter 1 the attention it needs.

So now that that's out of the way, what next? The summary for Chapter 2 has been started recently. Hopefully, it doesn't take as long as Chapter 1 since the basic framework now exists. Other than that, I'll be writing some of the earlier parts of Chapter 1's script. It's been a while, but as of now, everything's headed in a promising direction!
