Titles, plans and outlining

A.k.a. "Are you still working on this?"

First off, I've been told that the current title might attract the wrong kind of attention (i.e. Dreamworks and copyright issues). So, just in case, I decided to change the title of the game.
I want to keep "dragon" in there, so basically the choice is between Dragonbinder (which I like because it's lore-friendly) and Dragon Tamer (which I like because it's easier the recognize the theme of the game). Not much of a difference, but hey, tough choice! I'll update everything with the new title as soon as I pick the best.

Next, art. The first commission is under way, done by the very talented Octomush (you can find his art here and check out his Patreon).

So, what have I done this month? Apart from babysitting sick nieces, I have started working on Day 2, while at the same time putting together a proper, extensive outline for the whole game. This means figuring out the pace, character development, when and why the important twists happen... basically, getting everything about the story on paper down to the single scene. There is still a bit to go, but the bulk of it is done. I could get away with not having such a detailed outline while writing Day 1, but now I plan on finishing the entire first act and I need to know how the story is gonna unfold past that point. This doesn't mean there isn't going to be space for some changes down the line, but the storylines themselves are pretty much set in stone.

When is the new release? I always prefer to have slow updates with big chunks of new content rather than frequent ones with a couple of new scenes, which is why I think I'll go this route for the game. It also makes sense due to the structure of the story. In other words: it might take a while.
In the meantime, I will post updates, showcase the art when I have it and maybe update the current version with images.

And I still have Pewdiepie's song playing in my head, but posting that would be repetitive, so here is a video of my cat.
