I'm gonna simplify this project a bit!

The Stranger Fables of Fantasy Heroes
A downloadable fable in progress for Windows

In light of the first update going the way that it did, I think I've realised that the project is a little too ambitious for me and it should be scaled down a bit. Here are the various changes I'm considering so far:

  • Rather than making 12 chapters as originally intended, the game will instead be updated each month with new content.
  • The game will be less story-focussed, since writing is not my passion nor something I'm particularly good at.
  • I hate planning things, so the development process will be more organic and spontaneous from now on.
  • In general I'm taking this project way too seriously, which is something I usually try not to do with a video game! Most of the time they're supposed to fun to play, but ideally fun to make as well! As such, fun will be the main goal moving forward. Both in development, as well as gameplay.

What do you think? Are these good changes? If you have any input on this topic, let me know! I always appreciate the feedback!

Thank you for listening to me ramble today. It's super cool that you read this far.


Be well, stay safe and have an awesome day! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
