Like a true video game developer i have lied! (<- Joke :))
I promised to start working full throttle again on january the second but i have failed. My fever went up again and i've been fighting a bad headache all day. So not much i could do really I always keep these things at the back of my head though so every now and then i get good ideas related to the story. I haven't thuoght up how the unnamed demoness ended up as a slave, and to work it out i need to decide how she was raised (i.e. decide how demon children are raised and if she was raised traditionally, or adopted by a third party. I'm thinking a fae might have adopted and raised her or something, there's a chance)
So. Nothing new today, sorry me. Sorry to you too.
Edit: I lied again!
Before going to sleep i ended up reading up about writing, seems like the basics came to me pretty naturally, maybe it's one of these talents i was supposed to have but never found out about? I should do the whole cutie mark crusader thing maybe...
Anyways, it lead me into thinking about what i want to do in the story next. I've decided the start, but the demoness is an important character ini the story and i must define her before i go into any more detail.
I found the problem.
1. I haven't fully decided her personality, just what she thinks of Riye.
^I haven't decided if i wish to make her chaotic, lawful or neutral or good or evil... I haven't decided if she's a submissive or dominant type... i haven't decided shit! just what she thinks of Riye.
2. I haven't decided how she got here, just where she came from and by what route
^Here is where the real problem lies, i need to create her past, but i can't create it if i don't know where she had to be in her childhood.
3.I haven't created any potential plot twist for her
^She's a character so important, that i want the player to find out more about her during a plot twist, i.e. she does something unexpected, and you go half nuts trying to figure out why, until it all becomes clear to you when i finally enlighten you about the what's and why's.
These are pretty big. They're all directly linked, and all need to be tackled simultaneously. I need to decide how she was raised, by whom she was raised, what makes her tick, but the root of the problem is... that she needs to be caputured in necembel, and i have not created necembel except for it's global placement. I haven't decided what creatures you'll find there, what she could have possibly been doing there outside of a city and... bah, you get what i mean.
To design necembel, i need to design the rest of the world.
So.
Step 1: finish up the leveling system code i've been working on.
Step 2: design amodos in more detail
Step 3: sit back, relax, and keep writing Riye's story.
Step 1 shouldn't take long. i should get to it tomorrow!
