Initial Release: Planning Fallacy


How I hate the planning fallacy. I expected for this project to take two days max, instead it took a week. Granted, there are two caveats here.

Caveat number one is that I had fully functional gameplay on day one, it's mostly just the miscellaneous busywork that took time - things like menus, options, achievements, making the bodies and faces, various levels and so on and so forth. Naturally, as can only be expected, bugfixing was also a significant time sink.

Caveat number two is that I maybe could've done it in two days, if I treated this as a full-time project, but I didn't and I should've known that ahead of time.

What to expect in the future: naturally, Hololive ID, Holostars JP and Hololive JP will be included. For now, I only have the English branches because I wanted to get the game to release state and adding more faces/body patterns/songs is just busywork. Localization is on my mind as well. I will also add a Youtube video, Twitter announcements, post it to reddit etcetera, but as of today, I'm just tired and it's sleep time.

Aside from that, I have one possible large major gameplay update in mind.

Beyond that, expect for the game to get open-sourced sooner or later. Closer to sooner though.
