Pound Cake Diary : 2

I'm back! I have taken a lot of time to work on things and smooth out my process. The PC idea was a fail because of some annoying reasons which I won't get into here- long story short, I found an alternative which allows me to work much faster without interruption. Writing is going well and I am over halfway done with the first route.

Obviously at this pace, things are not going to be done any time soon. On the bright side I only have one more sprite to draw, which is almost done. I have not started on any of the CGs or BGs. It's hard to stay focused on writing when I have so many other projects I want to make, but I just keep reminding myself that I want to finish my dream VN first T_T 

I always get so distracted! So that's how things are going. The game works well at this point and so far there haven't been many issues with the coding. I am getting a hang of it ^_^ I will see you again when the first route has a completely finished first draft! 

P.S - Updates might slow down, just because I don't see any reason to write about every small little addition to the game that I make. I just want to keep myself accountable for finishing this thing. :3

Status Update : 2

Wooohooo! Some small progress has been made. I'm like 25% done with the first route. Almost all sprites for the love interests are done. There are a few side characters that still need to be drawn but they won't have as many poses so they will take less time. I think I am going to use edited photos for BGs. I know this is hated by some people, but I've tried drawing them and it just looks terrible. 

Things are going very slowly because right now I am using a laptop that is not mine. I am going to be getting my own PC very soon though so that will give me more time and freedom to work on the VN. I am super excited about this ^_^ 

The most scary thing is starting on the CGs...there are so many. I think CGs will go by faster than sprites though, and they are more creative so it will be a lot funner making them >_<
