Update on the Hiatus


For anyone who did you not see the Twitter post, here is what I have to say:

Hey y’all, Dirk here.

Apologies for the long silence. I’ve been pretty busy with work, and haven’t had much time to work on this novel lately. My goal is to have 7/8 day 4 songs ready to go by next weekend. After this, I’ll shift gears into working on day 5. Going forward, I plan on investing more time into story development rather than the GUI and songs, like I have over the past few updates. I’ve been losing touch with the story since I’ve been trying too hard to make it look pretty. My goal going into next year is to have a concrete plan. I want to focus more on story outlining and development, while letting the musicians and artists take care of the missing pieces. I’ve spent too much time working on day 4, and I realized that’s not sustainable.

If needed, indeed do dial back and flesh out the story.  Feel free to skip finer details, but make a note of if you want to go back and touch them up later.  I for one have loved replaying the VN every time!

Thanks for the kind words! Since I started working full-time, I've been taking my time to flesh out the story before fully new updates.

Quality over quantity, Dirk. We appreciate taking a longer approach and letting your specialists handle their end of the project.
