Which has been something we’ve tried to avoid for a number of reasons - including wanting to have a released product, wanting to move on to other projects without dropping this one, and having a production budget tied up in Friendsim 2 (since that prevents those resources from being used for other games). The reason for the original production schedule (and it was set with a pretty strict one, albeit with some level of flexibility) was to actually release the game in a reasonable time.ĭevelopment projects, especially fan projects (even ones with a budget), that don’t have a production deadline schedule tend to end up in “when it’s done” basically forever. To further expand on this, and give folks some project management insight: The next few volumes are going to move very rapidly away from Chittr being important to the plot (for reasons which will quickly become apparent), but it’s a good note in general - thanks for the ask! I think, in hindsight, we probably could’ve played around a bit more with this - like, either MSPAR’s account is explicitly listed as being restricted or they do try to send a DM and it leads to issues because it gets intercepted. The game doesn’t do a great job of lampshading that, but there are definitely people who won’t show up on your Chittr list at first.Ī lot of people just kind of can’t/won’t use Chittr in a meaningful way - like, everyone in the Army or Fleet has lost access to it, as an example. MSPAR doesn’t really understand how to use ChittrĪlso, some of it is because characters aren’t followed by MSPAR on Chittr at first (implying they don’t know what their Chittr is) - like, their difficulty finding the jades is partly because they lost contact with them (the game adds them to Chittr only once meeting up with them in person again).Not wanting to directly contact people via a social media system that’s probably heavily monitored (especially for those who’re trying to stay more-or-less off the grid). Narrative conceit (not so much “a bitch to code” and more “a bitch to write all the exchanges for”).It is implied that DMs exist - I think there’s a Tyzias/Daraya exchange that mentions them This is a really interesting point, and I think it’s worth a response.
