lost cause
it was about less than three weeks ago, me, Rune, struggling with school and only 16 years old, was looking through this site's blogs. Thing that i rarely ever do. I see an unfortunate blog posted two weeks before without being noticed. "Call to any artist". I clicked on, not expecting much, maybe a small challenge... THe guy actually was looking for an artist for his game. i smiled, not thinking of it too seriously, but i did read everything he explained, i started to like it and maybe got too invested into it too quickly, to the point of making a discord server. Little by little, he added some people and in a week we already had a pretty decent looking team! i felt weirded out. i'm a kid talking to a whole group of grown man that i know nothing about. Two of my friends joined not long after, but it's still weird that i'm one of the main dev of this project.
A game named DADNAPPED!
i spent the last weeks drawing, designing and writing for this guy that i don't even know his name. I kept feeling uncomfortable to the fact that i was doing so much and he didn't even seemed to know how to write a story. I was happy to help though. we agreed to a name for our team. Wet Cat Purrrduction. With three "r". I did not choose it; thoiugh, i think it's fun we stuck with it now.
There isn't one day that i'm not talking with the guy who first started the idea. i feel like even if he's twice my age and don't share the same knowledge as me, we work well and share the same intersest in indie video games. We are mainly inspired by Toby Fox and hope to reach his level in video game even tho none of us have any actual experience.
so far, the stroy of the game is to be writen. We have the main lines but it's definitly not enough.
ups and downs
Unfortunately, none of us both are feeling the best. Me for my school that suck up all my energy, and him whatever reason he had. i thought the project would be disgarded, abandonned, but we bounced back. I want this to be a thing. To realise my biggest dream: making a famous media. Which is also what he wants to accomplish. So i really do hope we make to the end of it!
at the end, i'm saying all of this and will regulary blog about it to tell how this team will grow... I've never been so happy, or been part of something like that. it's my whole dream carried opening to me right when i needed it the most. I'm glad I didn't gave up.
thanks for reading!
