Hello! I hope everyone has been doing well.

As of writing this, I have finished 2 more sections of Home Town that being of Kris' house and the lake. I have also made some of the interior rooms.

Last Dev Log, I said that I would give a clear development/progression timeline, and I am staying true to that! Obviously I do not have exact dates, but I can tell you how things will be going. I'm going to follow a similar formula to how Toby Fox did back during the wait for Chapter 2- So, without further ado:

Chapter 1 Development Timeline and Plan

Phase 0: The Re-Creation of Home Town (35%)

The Re-Creation of Home Town is the first thing I'm doing so I can practice coding and scripting before getting to the Dark World. I want to learn all that I can so that way when I get to creating the Dark World, I won't have to watch some tutorial on Youtube- I can just jump straight into it.

Phase 1: The Design Phase

This will be when I begin writing and developing the story for Chapter 1. I have concepts of a plan, now it just needs to be written out fully.

Character Design: 10%
The Story: 5%
World Design: 0%

Phase 2: Implementation Phase

This will be where things begin to get put into the game- The sprites, the story itself, NPCs, etc. Aside from Home Town, there's nothing really done for this phase yet so everything is at 0%. However, as I give progress updates, it will look something like this;

Art:
Cutscenes:
Bullet Patterns:
Non-Bullet Battle Elements:
Audio:
Maps:

Phase 3: Finishing Up

This will basically be the bug-testing and beta-testing phase. In the future, it might also be for mobile porting, however as of right now there are no plans for a mobile port.

---------------------------------------------------------

That is pretty much it! This will probably be the last update I make until Home Town is complete (so maybe a week from now?) After that, big updates are most likely going to become less frequent- Game development takes time! Especially when you're learning as your going, haha.

I look forward to keeping you guys updated on the progress, I hope you all have a lovely day!
