I got really distracted thinking about that scfi story I mentioned the other day. I was still thinking about it, and it made focusing on other stuff a bit harder. I am probably thinking about it a lot because I came up with a lot of really good stuff but there is a couple of problems that make the entire thing unworkable and so I keep trying to figure those things out. I should probably just put it off to the side awhile and not think about it at all, so I can focus on other things and get things done!

On a side note, and this has nothing to do with the scifi story I was thinking of writing, I actually worked on several scifi games before that I never really released, since I didn’t get that far into them. Many with robot transformations, since I think turning into a sexy robot is pretty cool and also you don’t see as many robot stuff as often as other tf related stuff.

It is pretty hot out today, some saying 104, some up to 106. Either way, it is way too hot! Personally I like colder weather than hotter weather. Though I mostly stayed indoors in the air conditioning all day. Still a bit warm inside too though.

So this week I am working on Old Soul again, because I don’t feel I got a lot done last week with it. Also I want to make some progress when it is still fresh in my mind, so I don’t forget everything that was going on again. So last time I set it up with something happen with Aluria, the goddess that had a temple in the city. I am going to set daily goals again, but I am going to be a bit more flexible this week. I am not entirely sure where I want to go with the story so I want to try to work with a schedule that takes that into account.

Tuesday: Do the path dealing with Aluria stuff if you happened to be cursed from the temple.

Wednesday: Set up the main path, in case you didn’t get cursed.

Thursday: Have at least 3 different options for dealing with the Aluria issue on the main path.

Friday: Finish that up and set up pregnancy stuff for future(if the character got pregnant).

Saturday: Finish all that up and release the game.

I don’t know why but I was thinking about writing a scifi book today. Actually I randomly thought about it a earlier this week but wrote some stuff for it today since I was off from my other projects. I had thought of what I thought was a pretty cool setting for a sci fi story, and I thought of a theme I wanted to explore in that setting. That is kind of backwards from how I normally write, since I don’t usually think of a setting then try to make up a story for it, I usually have some kind of plot in mind then make the setting, or do the both at the same time.

Anyway, after I was thinking about it a bit and I couldn’t think of an actual story to put in that setting that would fit the theme. I wanted to do a more political type story without a lot of fighting or anything, and I was having trouble thinking of a main conflict for the story because of that. I was worried it might be kind of a bad setting after all but I was brainstorming today since I was off, and I came up with a good idea, that would fit the setting and the theme I had in mind, for a more political story.

Well I don’t know when I will have time to write a book on a random idea I just had, but it was a lot of fun just doing a bunch of world building for that setting today. It was probably really good writing practice too.

So this week’s update is a bit small. Even though I did the other update for Old Souls a bit ago, I was still a bit rusty with all the stuff I had before, since it had been so long since I had been working the game actively. I had entirely forgot there was a lesbian love interest for example. So some of that work was just getting more familiar with everything again. Also I did get a bit side tracked with my nephew getting off school, which I mentioned the other day and some other stuff. I need to make sure I really focus and get a good schedule next week so I can get a lot done. I might do another update for Old Souls again next week, to jump right into it. Then probably a kawaii or magical girl update. I will work those details out on monday though.

Anyway, this is a short update with you arriving back home. You talk a bit with friends and family and there is a small sex scene if you have a lover. There is also some consequences if you got raped. Then it sets up the next thing that will happen.

Old Soul

So I am thinking of the future of the games I am working on. Currently I am working on old souls, kawaii and magical girls. Kawaii is getting closer to being finished, or at least the main game is getting closed to finished. I did want to go through and add some stuff to flesh out other things. It will probably be mostly relationship and interactions with other characters along the way that I will add in later, since I got most of the location exploration done in the first pass.

Magical girls and Old souls are kind of open ended, where I am not sure how long I want to make them. They are older games I jumped into without as much of a plan on where to go. I suppose for magical girls, getting to the end of a big magical girl contest would be a good place to end the game. Then maybe some girls will graduate and leave the team and it could end around there. Old souls could end when you start a family I suppose. That might work well with me thinking of adding pregnancy stuff in a bit later.

So school is out where I live, which means my nephew is going to be over here a lot more often trying to distract me. I am the coolest adult he knows so he always wants to hang out with me all the time, which I don’t hate but it makes it harder to get things done. People who been following this site know that since I complained before.

I am resolved to stick with my schedule though, and not get totally side tracked by family distractions. I will need to consider that though when working on my schedules though, to make sure even if I get distracted I still got time to work on games everyday.

So I do think it is better to have a much more detailed plan each week, than a more flexible one. I was trying that out again this week but I feel I was a lot more focused when I had very specific goals for each day of the week. Even if I some times didn’t feel like doing those goals specifically, it helped a lot more than just doing whatever. So next week I will probably be going back to a more strict day to day goal.

I was thinking of adding content where you can get pregnant in old souls, since there are many chances for that already. Though I think I might delay that for a little bit, since you might not know right away(though maybe you would know since there is magic and stuff?). Was also thinking if it would be too serious for this type of game, if you could also get pregnant during the time you got raped too(if that happened).

Anyway I was thinking about that, but was working on shorter term things with you arriving back home.

So this week I am working on Old soul again. Will be working on the stuff you do when you finally arrive back to the village after your first trip. I am not sure what the next big event will be, but the update will focus on preparing things for that. Maybe there will be a big problem at the village, that you will have to deal with.

So the plan will be to work on a little down time and give you a chance to talk to everyone about your trip. Probably some deeper conversations for if you got raped during the trip, or sexy scenes if you were kind of lewd during it. Then get things set up for the next part.
