I'm still in the army (8 years now) and I've been working on a computer science degree, with a focus in game programming. Job and school are significantly slowing the game development, but I find myself still coming back to work on the game. I hope to make the whole game by myself, but I may save enough to hire someone to help. The game is neither purely a passion project nor a product I need to make to live... It's inbetween. On one hand, I prioritize job security in these trying times, but on the other hand, the diploma I'm chasing is essentially game development, and the general consensus is that you should not pursue a game development career; big companies tend to pay much less for the unlimited amount of workers that want to follow their dreams. I want to carve my own path. I want the game to be great, but it'll probably be another 5 years.
They all use AI, except the last one which is background AI only. I still do my own personal edits like drawing in faces but AI has gotten really good to the point that it's not too necessary anymore. Anyways I assure the three of you looking it's still coming
I have been working hard at real work... coming back home late. It's just the season for business. It's very stressful to think about. I like thinking about this game though. It's a great escape. I took those days in the past for granted. I've made a lot of progress on the card texts. Design wise, I'd say... 280 character cards 190ish finished, design only 60 Task cards 20ish finished, design only 80ish Job cards 20ish finished, design only. So I'm about 240 cards out of 420 cards. Slay the Spire has 370 cards. The game I'm designing is definitely more complicated than Slay the Spire, and it'll have more funky interactions, but I can definitely see whittling down the number of cards to something like 350 good cards, and then hentai will have it's own whopper of 200 or so... aided by AI I guess. All cards have a rough design, they just haven't been balanced or... connected very well to other cards. They need another go around. So I'm rushi...
