Starting today, I will begin making public dev logs about the ongoing development of FuTanya. I hope these posts will help keep me organized and motivated as I continue the, now. 3-year long development process.

As of this moment, the entire cast of characters has been decided. All of their designs are nearly complete aside from one.

The puzzles, items, story path, cutscenes, ect are finalized (probably).

Programming is done for 2/3 of the game. The remaining 1/3 will be finished soon after the necessarry art assets are completed. That will leave just the cutscenes, which will require a lot of time, focus, and polish to achieve the desired effect.

Once everything is in place, we will consider adding partial voice acting. This is where some, but not all of the lines are acted. It allows the characters to gain a bit more personality by establishing their voices without interfering with the pace the player wants to read the story. Persona 4 is a good example of this.

That's all for now. Sorry if this sounded like incoherent rambling. Hopefully future updates will be a bit more sane.
