Status Update

The main SRPG is on a mini-hiatus as this month of March is really busy.  I'm still waiting for assets to trickle in until I can safely close the door and declare "Okay, I've got enough assets.  Now let's try to make a story given what we have."

I don't want to blame the artists since it's the nature of things that unless you employ somebody full-time, you can't expect to delegate all your characters to one person.  So what ended up happening is that I have multiple people working in parallel, and after I get my priority characters, I probably will just wait until the original agreement was filled, and won't commission any more characters.  My expenditure is already reaching the $5K mark which is the halfway point, but I don't even have a half-finished game.

But I have a pleasant surprise in that I'm full steam on making a small 3D spin-off game set in the same universe!  Yes I originally did not plan to devote some budget to this, but the potential of this game could be farther reaching than the original game (which I only expected to be somewhat significant in the visual novel and JRPG communities).  With this 3D game, I could potentially reach into the entire indie games market!
