How I work (Patreon)

Greetings, future crows!

If you consider supporting the project (or if you already do), you have all the rights to get an insight of the way I'm creating, before you decide.

First of all I like releasing finished updates. That means, if you get for example a new character, you can usually count on it having all the animations and imagery it needs to have.  I will report where I am currently at, if it lasts longer than normal.

Concluding, that means good, content heavy updates, which should always be worth checking out.

Speaking of content, I want you to know, that I try to hold a sequence of different topics per update.

It means, I like doing: animations --> gameplay --> misc things --> repeat

Naturally, if there is an important update that just needs to happen, I will shove it between the order. Hotfixes somehow or other. Flexiblity is the foundation of every kind of art. Even when I always plan five versions ahead; and it will stay at this level.

Then we have the rate of updates. It's done when it's done. Some will consume more time, others will take less. Not long ago I thought I'm not able to create (roughly said) one update per month. Till today I thaught myself better, since I'm way ahead schedule. I just love doing my work!

The artwork: This improves permanent and you may notice it through out the game. As soon as I learn something new, I instantly execute it, but I have to be careful not to over do it, since it will slow down the animation progress.

Next are deadlines. In generaI, I hate being rushed (who doesn't?), although I deem myself as working  quite quickly.

I may give you a guess, but don't pin me on that. Dispite this point, I'm pretty sure you will be satisfied with me.

I continue with the subject 'streaming':

I won't do it.

I don't mind people watching me work. I have always something to tell you, to show you, to teach you and to do in general. But I would like to push the project whenever I can. If I would stream, that would mean I have to take care of a lot of stuff, albeit it's only to observe my chat, that everybody keeps her/his manners. I find this distracting, thus I would rather focus on my work.

Last, but not least I will tell you some random characteristics of mine which automatically influence the project:

- i like to do easy tasks first, so I can fully concentrate on a more complex duty later

- speaking of concentration, I have a high concentration level, which therefore helps me avoiding bugs and common mistakes

- i try to code as bugless as I can (needed time goes up <-> number of bugs goes down)

- i have no fear to try out something new / unknown. Also, if I know that I can make something better right in this moment, I don't hesitate to do so at once. I don't like watching something I just finished and have the nagging thought in the back of my head, telling me, there is this and that which I actually could have done better

- and most important: I love what I am doing. And I won't abandon what I love!

With all that, it concludes the start of an awesome project, which you guys help me to realize to make it for... you guys!

Have a nice day!
