DEVELOPMENT PLANS

An In-Depth Analysis

The Story

The story will a reflection of the state of mind
It will be split and written across 10 chapters, each written individually.
There are ideas for multiple expansions, but those cannot be talked about yet.
Not much more details can be revealed about the story iteself or the writing process.

The Process

Development happens at the speed of which I can manage to gather the resources necessary to build it.
That includes both money and assets.
My current process is a mess, and it would be best to not explain it,
However, in a nutshell, I get back into it on random burts, when my mind gets tired of beating me down.
I try my best to get some daily progress in, even if I don't push it to git.
My plannings are to imrove both my schedule and development environment,
Because these play a big part in why progress is the way it is right now.

The Co-Op

This is something I want to set straight, but also something I cannot go very in-depth with.
The Co-Op will not be an initial part of the game's release,
It will come after all 10 chapters have released as a standalone expansion, alongside a specific other expansion for the game.
The Co-Op will feature separate perspectives for the 3 main characters and the way they see the story
The Co-Op expasion will also bring a new story mode to the single player, the ability to play from a perspective other than Sip's.
With that said, it's the very limit of what I can say without revealing too much.

The Networking

The project is intended to functian via Steam networking. Therefore requirig Steam DRM.
However, for the FOSS version of the game I MIGHT implement an alternative networking method.
I do want as many people to enjoy the game together when I finally get around to adding the Co-Op, but,
If it's too much of a hassle for me to implement two methods of networking, I will not do it.
If that's what I end up doing, I will be throwing around steam keys sometimes, so watch your heads.

The Expansions

This is something I have to be vague about, since I have a tendency to overshare.
However, I find it fine to mention this much.
Aside from the multiplayer expansion, the game is planned to have 3 other DLCs.
After those are complete and released, this reposity will stop being maintained by me,
As well as conclude the development of this game, and I will move on to other projects.

The Music

I am not very good at composing, and artists are very expensive, especially when it comes to OSTs
While the game may end up having some OSTs either composed by me or people I hire,
Most of the music will be licensed from existing works, rather than creating ones from scratch.
There are also plans to license copyrighted audio, music and songs,
But I want to settle agreements that allow content creators to play the copyrighted material on video
Without losing their monetization or rights to their video.
