CUPdate 31: Quick Update

Although it's been awhile since the last CUPdate, I was out of town for most of that time, so I didn't get a lot done.

I started out by reading some Eventures and then I finished up my digital sketchbook page for the month. Because I was mostly just working on my game in July, I decided to combine it with August since there was only one drawing for that one anyways.


Then I pulled an all-nighter the night before my trip because I had a 6am flight. So in that time, I started rewriting the SN World Festival Eventure. I got about half of it done, so hopefully I'll come back to it soon.


While I was on the trip, I managed to do a few pages of gesture drawings. It's been awhile, but it was good to get back to it. It makes me want to do this more often again.


As a side track, the IGMC results came in for the People's Choice award. My game got 26th place out of 147 entries, so not bad! Thanks to everyone who voted for my game! I'm still eagerly awaiting the final results, but I do know that I at least made it to the third round, which is cool. Drifty gave me some really good feedback and areas I'll be sure to look out for in my next games. It's so interesting to see how differently people play my game, and it's just really cool to see honestly. It really gets me thinking about games and how important it is to focus on the main story where everyone will see regardless of which choices they make throughout. This was my first time actually finishing a game with this many branches paths, and I'm learning a lot (especially because it's one of my favorite game types to play and create).


And then other than that, I did some non-CUPdate related things. This includes a Notion database where I organize all of the trip photos that we take on vacations and writing mini-journal entries for each of them. It's a fun way to keep a log of our trips.


So next time I'll have more time to get back into projects again. During this CUPdate, I was mostly away from my computer and dealing with some rough stuff at work, but now I'm hopefully rested and can try to get back to things!
