Well, it seems that for the first time since I hit that block, I’ve been able to write natural dialogue again. I ended up wimping out of the editing though, which just means more pain down the road. Odds are, I’ll be editing more when classes start, and they’re starting soon.

It seems like I’ve got under an month until I’ll have less time for writing, but that also means that I’ll be less likely to burn myself out writing, which, I suppose, is a good thing. Besides, more human interaction should give me more fuel for writing, or something. Yeah, I’m pretty much just excited, I guess.

So, here’s where we’re at for Eternal Memories:

Statistics:

The game contains 12,286 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 116,003 words,
for an average of 9.4 words per screen.
The game contains 32 menus.

I don’t think I’ll be taking as fast of a pace with the writing for the rest of the summer as I had at the beginning though.

I guess I’ll also take this chance to mention that we’re still hosting sites and games on vnovel.com, so if you’ve got a game that you’d like to get mirrored, just contact me. Also, if you’re looking for hosting for your site, or if you want a vnovel subdomain, I should be able to set you up.

I finally finished the Sabuko path split!

What’s next? Cleaning up all the paths and resolving all the splits. This is going to take a little bit of time too, but the last path split menu has been programmed! My writing goal for the week? W-what writing goal? T_T

Statistics:

The game contains 5,231 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 46,694 words,
for an average of 8.9 words per screen.
The game contains 28 menus.

IRL stuff came up this week, unfortunately. Some good stuff has happened too though, and that’s also taking up my time. I’m not upset about that though! XD

I recently acquired http://vnovel.com/ It may or may not have cost me eating out for a long, long, time. Anyway, if you want a subdomain at that site, go check it out. It has a link to the thread explaining the conditions. Well, I’m exhausted.

There’s not much more to announce, other than that… ALL THE ETERNAL MEMORIES CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT DESIGNED NOW! That’s right, we’ve got designs for all the characters started, and there’s just a little bit more to do before the designs for all the characters will be finalized.

Pictures? You’re going to have to wait on that one. They’re still a while off.

There has been some amazing progress with art recently. Sabuko’s sprite is complete! The design for most of the characters are complete, and those that aren’t are pretty close.

I’ve been working mostly on this new site. Hopefully, we’ll have http://hellpanda.com/ up and running soon with a minisite for Eternal Memories. I’ve been getting accustomed to the new forums, at http://hellpanda.com/forum/index.php

Work is being done to set up the forums, as they are currently using a free template.

We’re looking for people for the Free Hosting for VN Related Websites Initiative. There’s more information at the forums, if you’re interested in checking them out. http://hellpanda.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5

I’m going to try to commit more to writing. All this site work and management has taken a lot of my time (and irl stuff has as well).
