Devlog 34: Announcing File 03!

Methods: The Canada Files
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

File 02: Montréal and Hangout Two are now complete, so with this devlog it is time to announce the next file, and location of the third mystery in The Canada Files. Without further stalling, I'm excited to officially reveal...

File 03: Iqaluit!! I was always interested in including Northern Canada in the game and decided on Iqaluit — I have already enjoyed learning more about it with the small amount of research I've done so far. File 03 raises the stakes and introduces new conflicts. My aim is to continue to improve the quality and impact of the story, mysteries and gameplay. I think it has the potential to be the best FIle yet!

I have begun production and I'm about halfway done writing Chapter 11. This time, I'm going to be blocking out rough versions of the backgrounds (like the "graybox level" from File 02) after each chapter is written. I think that will give me more of a jump on starting those, which tend to be a big hurdle to get through. The current numbers for how much I need to complete are just estimations and will have to be adjusted as production continues, just like before. 

I hope you are interested to see what happens !

Until next time!
