Sunday Update #5

My stated goal last week was to get anywhere between a quarter to a half of Chapter 3's writing done.  I honestly have no clue whatsoever if I got it because I have no idea how long the chapter is going to be.  Note to self: if setting specific goals, make the goals specific.

BUT...I did make an interesting discovery.  So far, the three completed chapters (Intro, 1, 2) and what I have of 3 have the same number of lines of dialogue and code as Robot Detective's main story.  This tells me that I am succeeding in my overall goal to write my longest visual novel yet, if my previously longest VN is only a small fraction of this one.

Also, sometimes while writing I will realize that a plot point that sounded great in my head is weirder on paper.  For example, the whole plot point of an AI installed in a haunted mansion is striking me as incredibly silly now that I'm writing it out.  I'm not worried about it though, because frankly the entire premise of the franchise - a detective who is a robot - is a bit silly.  So it works out.

Anyway, I am chugging along on this one.  More work is getting done this summer than there was during the school year.  Pretty sure Chapter 3 will be done by the time I have to go back to my day job.
