Nanoreno 2026 #2: Draft 2

Hello again. So, I've made a second draft of the script I wrote on Monday. It's not perfect but I think it's pretty close to what I want which will suffice for now. I need to remember that it's a demo. But that it still needs to be fun. I think it's got a pretty great hook, not too shabby character introductions, and not like a lot of choice but there's one major decision to make.

The draft honestly looks very weird. I have one column for the actual 'story' and then two columns for the player choices. Some of them are just for characterization and others have an impact on events. One has a more neutral, or maybe less confrontational tone, while the other is significantly bitchier. You know, so there's options.

Currently it's at 9541 words, but there's a little more to write and some to take out. No final word count as of now. I know the 238 words a minute estimate is not a great measure for visual novels but if we're being very crude that's around 40 minutes. Not bad.

Writing's hard. And I haven't written for so long at once in a while so I was really feeling the burnout by the evening. Still, good that it's done because I just realized the sprite work will probably kill me. Or they'll come close and the backgrounds definitely will.
