The process from Blue Bird Hello everyone. A lot of people nagging me about "How long?" "Why not update it? I will not buy it" etc...
So I gonna write the process of the game and explain it first
- Story 1-5 is Finished (Normal Story) Extra Story18+ Is finish a little but need more - CG 80% - BG 40% - HCG 10% - OST 30% - Game Code 90% - Game Script 90% (just a normal story) "By bloody one person" Yes... One person. For 2 yea--- almost 3 year!! how is it feel?
"To be fair. Bluebird is not funding with Kickstarter and Fail in IndieGoGo funding because not reached a goal"
This post not just a "Hey can you buy my game" or "Can you fund my game" something like that... No no no... I didn't do this sh*t
I just want to said "Go play or do something else. Until the game finished then come back and play it" simple right?
Okay...
After a "Team" ditching after the first demo finished (With Voice Actor)
And what happened in 2 years+ after the first 2 stories released?
- Start thinking about I need to learn "Drawing, Writing, Composing because of I only coding stuff. (F***) - Change Major from IT to MT for it - After testing (Secret) Patch before releasing a fixing game and Got a Heavy Mean&Rude Feedback (from Online) so I stop because I feel down (So It makes me stop looking a comment or F*cking fanboi, No more Answer. Because I working on this game. Sell this game without any publisher) And it makes me decide to NOT update it on steam (until it finishes all of it) - Thank Mr. R to teach me how to drawing (Artist from EP1-2) And The Collage class.
- Use my Saving money to buy a Music Class from Master Class and start to know how to Composing a little bit - Afraid to write a story on my own (because F**king writer yoink some money and run away) Because of "Fear" - But after learning how to write a story and start to upload 3 short novels on the website "D-D" and Feedback is "It good but not better" Make me feel better but still... Afraid of it - So Time to take a shot. Write Episode 3-5 and Grind it so hard and Send to my friend who is Novel writer to look at it (Thank you, my bro I will give you a one Mama Cup lol) and Start Private NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) Test by 5 people that I checking deeply - "HEY IT FINISHED!!" but "Story Script 3-5" Not "CG, BG, OST" that I not good at... (F**k) - Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effect, FLStudio, Maya, VRay LevelUP!! *Playing FF7 Victory Theme here* - Start Drawing, Making BG, Composing music... around 1-2 year - Okay... funding? - "Let's check a sell... Oh wow... a little money for 100 USD for each time sell reach it (not for each month) What should I do?" (F**k) - Start working as Freelance (Programmer, System Admin stuff) or Pentesting for exploit... lucky got a one stock money but have to pay it for collage (to save my parent overworking) But Enough to make a game by hiring more people - Make an announcement for looking at a team because Got money to do Answer? "Nobody gives a poopoo... A dog doesn't like it even a Rock walk away" - F IT, if I cant, hire people - Then Find the AI help me working on Coloring and Testing AI how to do it better - AI Modeling Level Up!! And use this as my final project and It works also A too. LOL - Now? Finishing a game. Try to grant this st*p** collage (must do) and Additch Love Plus Every Game (But not using game money to buy Gacha... Because my Real Girlfriend does not allow it. : ( )
Summary Don't ask me to buy my game. Save it for Cyberpunk 2077 (Recommend) or Death Stranding (Kojima Game with a good story) first okay? Good.
Right now I happy (but got a lot of downtime because of a lot of F*****) Didn't stop or run away. Just Lazy POS and Doing something that make more money and less using sanity is better
But I did not drop it.
Don't worry. there are 5 people that finished a game already and When it ready I will watch you play it and enjoy your reaction. :')
Thank you : ' ) - K

Next Topic
A lot of people tell me about Game Background.
ex. "Seem Good Seem S*it" or "He just download another work"
So I decided to use Blender, 3D Max, Maya to make a 3D Scene and Render to export to images and put it in Photoshop to do Image processing for better graphic. But it uses a lot of process time to work for "1 Person" But I Try to do as fast as possible. (But I really want someone to help me about this. ;w;)
