Devlog 0.4.1 (Update and how are things going!)


Hola to everyone! It's been a solid long time, huh? If you follow me or the Cor account on Twitter you'll see that I haven't really been "away", but I guess I also haven't been as responsive as I should have been, and I apologize for that. To be fair, I started doing commissions and took some vacation time that I heavily needed, and right after that life started to be very tough on me, to the moment where I had a few breakdowns here and there. I'm not saying this for you to feel pity on me or anything, I don't want that, I just want to explain why I haven't been updating here as much. When I'm under a lot of stress, the last thing I think about is about doing a devlog explaining very personal stuff, BUT: I said I'd be honest when I started this project, with myself and everyone, and it's related to why I haven't been around, so I don't mind sharing that. I apologize for that.

That being said, how is Cor doing lately?

Honestly? Not bad at all, in my opinion. It's taken me a bit to get the urge to write again, but I'm consistently writing bits and bits every single day, and I'm pretty happy with how I'm advancing. There are a few things I want to say here, though, so, let's go:

  • First of all, I've talked with an artist that I'm going to hire to make a new theme for the main menu of Cor. I've read A LOT of people who like the one that's already being used, and I'm very glad to hear that! However, due to some inexperience from my younger self, and because I think I could use a change with that that could fit the theme of Cor better, we're aiming to make our own personal Cor song. We actually have a prototype already, and, you know, this is the main reason why we opened a Patreon, so we could hire artists for these kind of stuff. So, thanks to all of you, we can afford to do that! I'm also thinking of hiring him to make small, one or two second tones of music for... reasons. Hopefully, you'll see what I mean with that soon.
  • We also have an idea of how to make the phone scenes a bit more... "original". We haven't worked on it yet, but we have the idea on how to do it, and if it works, they could become more visually appealing, rather than just having Robert stand there in silence reacting alone.
  • I'm also thinking of re-doing the main menu picture. I really like the one that's there now, but it wouldn't fit that well with the new theme, and I have a pretty good idea of what I want with that new music. However, it might be the only "CG" from this update, sadly.
  • Regarding that, I've had to lower my expectations a bit with this update. I don't want to take forever like last time for this, so I've been looking on ways to reduce part of this Day's story -without- making it rushed or too short. This means a few things. First of all, as said, it probably won't have any new CGs (yet, who knows, I might add one in the future, but we'll see when the time comes), but also, I had to change a small part of how I thought Day 5 would go. It won't matter to you as long as I make the new one entertaining, but I figured it's something you'd like to know.

And I think that's it regarding the new update! Well, aside from the fact that I'm going to start working again very soon and I don't know how that'll affect my motivation to write every day, BUT I know I'm going to continue, even if it's slowly! I wish I could tell people when the next Day is happening, though, but I'm really trying not to take half a year this time lol

Alright, that should be all for now! Thank you very much for reading me, for supporting us and/or for playing our VN! It's hugely appreciated, and the attention its been getting has really cheered me up through some of my bad days, so... Seriously, thank you a lot to all of you, you're making this little Spanish person very happy~

Thinking about Cor makes me happy!!!  Wish I knew better how I could help encourage or help with ideas/fine tuning them, but hat would be a matter of just one opinion, and may not be exactly what you are looking for.  Maintain communication, and it will help you to feel better.  Not always going to have opportunity at all times for irl interaction (that is aside from school/chores/job/non-optional), but we are here to tell you how much we love the work you have done!  And to provide our own takes and perspectives!
