Due partially to the fact that the
song, “Rock Me, Amadeus,” kept me up last night, the script is
now underway!
I don't use a word processor to write the script; it is much easier to write it directly into the coding program, Ren'Py, which is what I use to make the game. Ren'Py uses python coding and so there are strings of strange directions scattered throughout the story (they don't show up when you're playing the game itself). Here's a screenshot of what the script looks like when I'm using the Ren'Py program:

When I am building a character, it's a
lot easier having an image to refer to instead of a list of written
information, especially when I have to keep track of a lot of
characters.
So instead of using this:
Elriss
Hair color/length/style- strawberry
blonde, has bangs, long
Eye color- Green
Body type- Muscular
<OR>

| (Please do not think this is another version of Elriss) |
There are a lot of online games which
can be tools for anyone to use. I like HeroMachine and DollDivine
because they have a lot of options and are helpful in making quick
character pictures. Check it out and have fun!
The actual art for this game will be
made after the script is complete, because then I will have a
complete list of scenes, character expressions and backgrounds that
need to be made.
I also started composing yesterday for
the game's soundtrack, so watch for some future updates and music
samples. :-)
