First Logo Made!

Today i made a concept for the first (possible) NSFW scene in the game. I didn't actually get around to writing it into the game, but i still wrote it down so it's there, and i won't forget. This scene will be a sort of branch, in the sense that it heavily effects the story (without actually affecting the end however). Project Unchained will assume that this path was chosen rather than the (shorter) alternative.

Doing little else than writing all day over the last 2 days was sort of repetitive, not to mention mentally intense (both because it's the first time i write a visual novel, and because of the dark theme that takes a bit of a toll on my sanity and mental health, which is why i'll be going with a fantasy theme next)

So i put the "pen" down for a moment, and allowed myself to get side-tracked into other things. I made a logo for starters. It's nothing glorious (you can see it at the top of the page) and it's bound to change when i get an actual artist to work with me. But for now it's good enough and certainly beats nothing.

Needless to say that took a lot of hours. I also decided on a title theme for Yrja's Torment. And a name, the codename had been Yrja for a while now because that's the protagonists name, but i figured i had to find a title, and seeing how painful it has been to write it so far... Torment was a fitting suffix.

I also improved this blogspot, i added a "Games" page, put up the logo (i even modified it a little just for this page, resized it to fit exactly and altered the colors a bit because of the background theme i'm using.) I also signed up for adsense just in case it might be useful later (ads are as good a source of income as any).

I also added a link to the wiki.

I created a Paypal account, but i'm not opening up for donations until i finish Yrja's Torment. Funny aint it? I aim to finish a game before asking for donations, isn't it usually the other way around? Fuck Kickstarter (for now, but i might use it after i finish my main project to make an even bigger one, and perhaps actually put together a team)

Finally, i dug around for resources. As i said before i found something i'm fairly satisfied with to use as a title theme for Yrja's Torment. Find "A Singular Perversion" in here to hear it. I think it fits really well, and that is basically just free music lying around there for the taking, i'll probably rely quite a bit on that until i can convince a friend to be a composer for me (like half my friends are musicians)

I also found several other cool songs here and there, the problem with not having a composer is that there isn't going to be much consistency in the soundtrack, i'll do my best to try to keep it sensible, but it's going to be some work.

I created a Main Menu (Placeholder) image, i think it looks pretty cool actually even if it's just text. I also customized the menu color scheme a bit. A lot better than a black screen! (Black Screen with text! but i feel inclined to add at least a texture to the background until i can get someone to draw this menu image for me)

But as well as i had started rolling, the time for sleep had come. I'll just work even harder tomorrow!
