More #DaddyDatingGame progress!
Been a productive few writing weeks: now at 156,321 words (11,870 dialogue blocks), written through game day 17 (including hooking up already-written scenes)
Also: My sprite artist has started on both Caleb and Mitch sprites
Progress! #IndieGameDev
Had a coworking gamedev session with a friend today, and it was productive!
Got some more #DaddyDatingGame UI work done, and also got some writing done... day 14 is just over half done, now
Game's now at 122,405 words and 9395 dialogue blocks
Progress!
#IndieGameDev
All the music for #DaddyDatingGame is staged and... the character settings screen is nicer!
Obviously needs more UI polish and cleanup, but you can now toggle the guys' settings with a visual indication of what's changing
(Also the screen is generated automatically per guy!)
#IndieGameDev
Implemented smart crossfade today for #DaddyDatingGame... it'll now crossfade music and do nothing if the given track is already playing
This'll make music staging so much quicker; won't have to manually fadeout music, nor conditional everywhere to see if the music needs to change
#IndieGameDev
Bob is slightly regretting having 12 separate routes in #DaddyDatingGame because it's creating slightly ridiculous branching every time I even start a new game day
But, uh... finally finished day 13, and we're now at 118,778 words (9107 dialogue blocks) so... progress?
#IndieGameDev #VisualNovel
Finally some more #DaddyDatingGame progress to show off!
Now at 109,228 words (8387 dialogue blocks), and we have a logo and a (tentative) menu UI!

A small #IndieGameDev update:
#DaddyDatingGame progress continues. I've been adding three (!) additional routes to the game and generally fleshing out those scenes and tying them into the current game flow... this'll make 10 total game routes
The game is now at 98,290 words (7534 dialogue blocks)

A screenshot from the WIP game. Three characters are in a bar setting. The two on the left are finished sprites and look significantly different than the third (placeholder) sprite on the right.
#DaddyDatingGame progress continues! Gabe's sprite is done, and game's at 53,975 words (4238 dialogue blocks)
But some news: PatchrickPlayer1 will be streaming the game (at least its progress) this upcoming Friday (June 20), for Pride Month!
I'll post exact time once it's known #IndieGameDev
A screenshot from Daddy Dating Sim. The background is from YAGS and has "Placeholder" all over it. The left sprite is Carlos' head from YAGS on Dan's body, with an overshirt badly drawn on top. The right sprite is Chris' head from YAGS on Carlos' body, with a goatee badly drawn on top.
Today's #DaddyDatingGame progress was staging the completed sprites (Ryan, Jason, Santiago, Ethan) and backgrounds into the game... Gabe will hopefully follow soon
(Also got some writing done!)
It's a little sad we'll no longer have scenes that look like this though 😅
#IndieGameDev #VisualNovel
Oh my god
After over a year, day 7 of #DaddyDatingGame is finally done being written
And it is 2012 lines long (four times the length of the previous game Saturday)
Jesus what I have I done to myself?
Game is now 50,595 words and 3,991 dialogue blocks 😶

I've been making some slow progress on #DaddyDatingGame, mostly just filling in random new scenes as they come to mind without really trying to put them in the right place(s) yet
Now at 42,214 words (and on in-game day 7 😬 )
The head and neck of an African American man. He has light stubble (with hints of grey in it) and an earring. The drawing is unshaded, as a work in progress.
It occurs to me I haven't posted a #DaddyDatingGame update in a long time
The day job has been too busy to make serious progress, but I've been knocking out scenes (and scene-bits), and sprite progress has continued
The game is currently 38,348 words, and here's a WIP headshot of Gabe #GameDev
A visual novel sprite of an older gay bear. He has a gray beard and bit of hair at the top of his head, and a good amount of body hair. He is not wearing a shirt.
Oh, I don't think I ever shared the finished sprite for #MTRGame (CW: Shirtless man)
Here's Jason
He's gonna get reused for #DaddyDatingGame as well, and I'm still figuring out what else I'll commission for #BaraJam (given my artist's time constraints)
