NaNoRenO2020 - Week 8 Devlog

Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 (You Are Here)

Wow! After Dear Devere's release, there's still much to be done! The visual novel has reached over 200 downloads now, and is still growing. I'm glad people have been sending me messages, giving their thoughts on it (I've been reading them with a smile).

I've been playing other visual novels from the NaNoRenO as livestreams on my Twitch channel. It's been very relaxing for me, and I've had fun chatting with people. You can find VOD recordings of these livestreams as a playlist here. I plan on doing some more, so you can follow me there for notifications on when I'm live.

Here are some things that I've been up to this week.

• Dear Devere has been updated to version 1.1.
• There is now a TV Tropes page for Dear Devere.
• I've added a Dear Devere page on my Weebly website.
• Another Screenshot Saturday post.
• Planning out a trailer for Dear Devere, complete with some quotes from reviewers and players.
• Writing the rough draft of the Behind-the-Scenes article.
• Writing the outline for the game's Postmortem article.

I posted more diagrams of how I created the art in Dear Devere. I think these are the last ones I'll make.

• Angela's pink watercolour letter
• The bird letter to Cailin

I've posted the last of the memes I'd planned out.

• Distracted Girlfriend Meme
• Friends Meme
• Simpsons Coffee Meme
• Another UNO Meme
• Simpsons Bath Meme
• Hulk Burrito Meme

Here is a list of what I need to work on next week.

• Release Dear Devere's trailer.
• I plan on finishing and posting the Behind-the-Scenes article before the Postmortem (the latter will be released later--I still need to wait to collect more data).
• Make another video clip from Dear Devere to post as a Tweet.
• Show Dear Devere to more Let's Players who may be interested in the VN's premise.

There's a particularly big announcement I have in store that I've also been working on this week. However, I'm not ready to fully talk about it yet. But be on the lookout for the announcement in the future. Shh...
