There is a prologue, and 7 chapters (with interludes in between) planned for the game. In the 6 years I've worked on this game... I'm at the interlude between chapters 2 & 3. 💦
Because of how long it's taken me to make progress in this, I wanted to release each chapter individually, but I then ran into the issue where some chapters may be super short compared to others. So I have no real choice but to release it as one game.
The prologue does a bit of world building and has most of the 'traditional' gameplay in the game (walking around jumping, exploring the map, etc), so it's considerably longer than say, chapter 1. The prologue alone could stand alone as its own game if I never were to finish the whole thing.
Chapter 2 changes the gameplay a bit, moving it into a Princess training sim (a real bootleg princess maker knockoff). I also plan to have a phoenix wright styled court case in one chapter. I don't want to reveal too much more. These changes of genre I think are why its taking me a long time. I've more or less finalized the story tho, and I think that if I buckle down and give it a good bit of effort, I could maybe finish it by the end of the year. It's worth a shot!
Here's a sparsely updated Twitter Account where I share a few related to the game. I intended it to be a place to dump ideas and notes to, but I've started using a notes app for that now to be more organized. (maybe some of the links to my buggy and outdated demos in there still work) https://twitter.com/dragmireprods
