Sometimes wish the forums had a thumbs up for posts. Great job Miakoda you deserve a pat on the back
Thanks for the kind words kadakithis
It feels a little surreal; I know there is still a lot of work to go, but it is weird seeing the end in sight as it were.
Haha there should be some thumbs up / thanks mod for phpBB, I could add it as a virtual "thank you" form
Heh, but you already have the devil horns for bad news

Just a minor note, but I have finished up with the last of the Friendship Dialogues (75 total).
I also got approval for the Romance Storyboard, so I will start that shortly.

I just read the first scene of Lucius romance, and man, can't stop laughing. As you can imagine his path involves the curiosity of a robot about things like love, feelings, asking out, etc. It's EPIC can't wait for people to read it haha!

Lucius romance makes me think of that movie "Her" love with an AI is a fascinating topic

Yes I agree In retrospect I wish I had enabled a romance with Lucille in PS1. Well, for some future games

Just a minor update.
As Jack1974 reported, the writing is done, at least for the first draft. There are some corrections/changes I need to make, some epilogues, entries for the Codex, but fairly minor stuff.
The art is coming in at a good pace; various alien variants are done, and each of the main aliens (Matrick, Dredan, etc.) have 4 different pictures (Matrick Worker, Breeder, Soldier, and King). The artist will be starting some of the final art soon (such as the ending CGs, and card art), but this is definitely on the tail end.

For those who liked jealousy scenes of Loren, will be pleased to know that Miakoda is doing a LOT of them for PSCD! They're short scenes of course (would be crazy to make long ones) but for example we have already done:
Alex: Rigel vs Mizuki, Rigel vs Samuel, Mira vs Mizuki
Diana: Graciela vs Charlotte, Lucius vs Charlotte, Graciela vs Xavier
some of them are epic either "epic fail" like when one of them or both of them don't know what is going on with the other, or when someone knows and start becoming aggressive all of a suddenly against the other (depends on their personalities of course). Really a great job

I'm pleased to say that the jealousy scenes are finished for each romanceable NPC. There are 12 total (6 for Alex, 6 for Diana), so obviously depending on who you romance, and what order you may not see them all.
Anyways, I'm still doing some other stuff, but the project is going well on the writing front and the art front. As Jack1974 posted in another thread, the artist is working on a few CGs (some of the ending ones are awesome).

Any moral dubios choice like in the first PS? I liked that you could go with the Empire and help to exterminate the aliens and slave the Mattricks, and you werent a villain, Nelson was only following orders of the King, he could even express doubt if he was doing the right thing. I miss a protagonist like Nelson in WW's games.
jack1974May 15, 2015
Yes there are several "tough choices", some of which are reflected also in the ending CGs

Speaking of jelousy scenes, something like this should happen if you romance 2 people at the same time =P

Haha not a bad "jealousy scene" Indeed I should do it in some future game too.

Jack1974 answered this, but yes, I there are some morally dubious choices.

That's pretty good. Though, I think Jack1974 will agree there is a good variety available in the PSCD scenes.

And for people interested in the state of the progress:
I tentatively have all the Missions/Scenes coded up for roughly 80,000 words (it is actually over that). I have all the friendship dialogues done (once again, over 80,000 words. There are 5 friendship scenes, 5 per character). I'm roughly half done with the romance dialogues, but between them and the jealousy dialogues, it will definitely be over 40,000 words.
Depending on how August goes, I may get the endings/epilogues done, as well as two areas I wish to expand the scenes, and adding the Codex. If nothing else, the writing will be done in September (roughly a year from when I started).
The artist is almost done with everything (the artist has done phenomenally in my opinion.) and I believe the music is well in hand. So while the game isn't going to be out in a couple months, I think it is in a pretty good state all things considered.

You and the artist are WW's golden team ,back when the game was announced I didn't expected that the writing and the art would be done before next year
jack1974Aug 18, 2015
Me neither also considering the size/scope of the game, one of the biggest and with most CGs / art ever made. I think so far it has been my most expensive game to date
RyocchiAug 21, 2015
OMG I cannot be more pumped!!! hope you surprise us announcing the release date soon
jack1974Aug 21, 2015
Haha no no, there's still several card art to do, plus the battle screen GUI, and of course the most important part: Anima needs to finish coding the card framework, deck building, I need to code the enemy AI... it's a big game under all aspects. I think that once Anima has done the coding, I could be able to finish it in 3-4 months though

Well, hopefully you will think the writing has the quality as well.
Anyways, just wanted to make a short update that I have all the romance dialogues up. Between those, and the jealousy scenes, it has come to be roughly 60,000 words. With the numbers I quoted before (80,000 for missions/scenes, and 80,000 for friendships) that comes to roughly 220,000 words.
I figure there may be an additional 20,000 words for the things I mentioned earlier (The different endings, the epilogues, the Codex, and a couple places where I wanted to add a few more scenes).
