Summer is right around the corner, and I now have more free time to work on BFD! THIS IS THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
...Not to say I'll be completely free this summer. I still have a lot of plans and personal things I'll have to deal with, but I'll still have more time to focus on creating. Development will go by much faster for the time being, and I'll hopefully be able to write about more updates soon.
With that being said, here's a brief progress report. I'm halfway done with the summary for chapter 2, and it's taking longer than I anticipated. It was like this for chapter 1, but ironically enough, I expected to finish chapter 2 faster since I had the framework for the rest of the story. I think a lot of it comes down to chapter 1 being more plot-heavy than chapter 2. It's not that chapter 2 is completely plotless, it's just that the first half is a lot more slice of life and is driven by character interactions instead of events. Now that I think about it, some readers might find chapter 2 boring after the drama of chapter 1.Hopefully they'll make it to the second half and appreciate the turn things take.
My biggest problem is currently with art. I'm still not at a good enough level to be producing sprites, backgrounds, or CGs (speaking of which, I finished a list of CGs that will appear in chapter 1). I'm still not going to hire an artist, but I'm really going to have to push myself to improve at a faster rate. At least my tablet is working (with Autodesk Sketchbook, but for some reason it doesn't with Fire Alpaca).
