@inkalicious Do you know how many chapters there will be per volume? Or do you have an approximation?
Hi Mortimilian,
At the moment I've written three chapters for Vol 1.
I say 'at the moment' as during the building of Chapter 1, I expanded some elements that will have to be dealt with in other chapters.
So I'd say it's more likely four, which may now be split into smaller chapters again.
It's an intentionally short volume and it will have elements of a novel. For instance Chapter 1 mainly spans several days, then jumps weeks once a routine with the girls is settled. This way things can evolve, without it being too rushed within the characters timeline.
I'd like to give the volume length an explanation, so read on if you're interested.
There's a long and torturous history behind this production. It started as a third person fully illustrated VN (animation, layered clothing/assets, etc), but the scale defeated me (timewise). Various incarnations later, we're here.
However the original story/script never changed, but it wasn't the redheaded duo we know now. These girls started as a bit-part in the original VN, The Hendersons.
The Hendersons is a much larger effort (8 large chapters written) and in that you briefly come across The Redburns while scavenging. Your Hendersons MC has dealings with one of the characters, good or bad, but that's it.
I then realised I'd become too 'precious' with that production and decided to flesh-out The Redburns in a smaller introductory volume.
So there are crossovers aplenty and you'll see characters again, but with a different MC and a new perspective on a certain character's actions and thinking.
But that's a long way off..
