Project plans
Alright, I figure I'll detail what I'm planning on working on in the near future and hopefully continue with for a good while.
Basically, I'm going to draw up a paint adventure and pour all of my effort into this thing, but I'm not gonna be taking commands like usual. What I will do, however, it experiment heavily with the presentation, including the art style, narration style, and whatever else I can play around with. For this I would very much appreciate feedback and ideas and anything any of y'all would like to contribute.
I'm gonna base the story itself on my earlier adventure, Sir Walter Hatchum's Teatime Terror, but it's gonna be an entirely new thing, so none of the stuff made in that adventure is canon or anything. Or maybe it is and they just had this big adventure you never saw the end of. Either way, people seemed to like the characters and the style of that one, so I'm gonna expand on it.
The only issues at the moment are my work schedule and computer situation. The latter isn't a huge deal, mainly it's just that I'm planning to purchase a new laptop soon and my setup's gonna be pretty different on that. For instance, I don't have Photoshop or FL Studio currently installed because they can't run properly with my current setup, so my workflow's gonna be kinda wonky. But it usually is early on anyway, so yeah. Depending on whether I order the computer from the manufacturer or just buy it from like Best Buy, I will either have it around Thursday or in a couple of weeks.
The real problem is with the work schedule, though. I've been working five consecutive 8-hour shifts per week with two consecutive days off, and I usually wind up Skyping an hour or two after I get home and continue until I go to bed. So I don't have much free time at all as it is, especially considering all the games I need to play, books I need to read, and shows I need to watch. I may just have to wait later to sign on Skype if I'm workin' on stuff, so yeah.
I'll either make a separate community for this or just use paint_adventure, but yeah, that's my current plan. Hopefully I'll get a decent amount done despite time constraints, and as I said, anything you guys have to offer would be much appreciated.
Oh wait we can start now! I'm not gonna call the main guy Sir Walter Hatchum. I need a really obnoxious British-sounding surname for this dude. Please give me ideas so I don't have to come up with any on my own, thank you.
