No pictures this time but I have finally taken a big leap forward and settled on a setting for the game!
I've spent months working on this problem and it feels great to finally have that nailed down. I have already created some assets which I will hopefully post up for you all to see soon.
settling on a setting had also let me make a start on the story and character side too. Now everything has the context of a setting this has been much easier (but I think I will need to collaborate with someone on the story as writing is definitely my weakest suit!).
In Japan we have Golden Week at the end of April. I'm going to use this holiday to make as much progress as I can.
I am also trying to submit my game to the Tokyo Game Show in September!!
The deadline for entries is the 27th of May so wish me luck.
If anyone has experience submitting for this show I would really love to hear from you. What state was your game in when you applied?
