Devlog Two: Similar stuff


I wanted to put this out when I finished Bonnie's area. I'm about almost done. Just need to do one more cutscene and add some lighting. But I mainly want to put this out to let you know the project isn't dead

Bonnie feels like a bit of a pain to write. Mainly because she is one of the characters with a bit less lore so I never thought very deeply of her. So shes a bit shallow. And I'm not afraid to admit I maybe a flawed writer. I'll be sure to go back and improve on her but right now I don't wany anything more to do with Bonnie.

"Wow...a game about a doll being told by her father to kill the whole city? and theres a sort of royal figure aswell? Hmmm I've NeVeR sEeN a GaMe WiTh ThOsE bEfOrE!!!!!" Ok, ok, I get it. It sounds a bit...familiar .but its different in its own ways. Its just you havent gotten to those points yet. 

Speaking of things similar, most characters in a sort of setting like this would be very pale, yes? Well, most of them are. Expect for Francis, of course. For awhile, he was the only black character. But I ended up making another one later on that'll be shown much much muuuch later. But it begs the question I never really thought of; If there are only two darker characters, wont people assume they are related regardless of any clues you add to say they are not? Hm...well take it from me now. They are not. Because I said so. Got it?

Whenever I'm inspired by a character, I tend to make my design very similar to that character when it comes down to things like skin, hair, scars and etc. But Francis and Eliza are the only characters I made in a vacuum of ideas. Every other character can be drawn back to something or someone. Come to think of it, what about Bonnie? What was her inspo again? I forgot, I guess.

Before I finish up, I just want to add development might start going slower. Honestly, Rosebed threw me off schedule and drained me completely. I really want to get back to Dollmaker's Daughter and I am working on it, but that drain of energy really took a toll on me. But alas, the game will be finished regardless. It has to be, anyway.

The next area might be a bit more outdoors. That sounds good I suppose.  Anyway, I'd like to end these with a question. What are your guesses about "The Prince of Performance?" (Honestly, what do you all have to ask in general? I'm curious.)
