Wanting 2 make a scope creep nightmare of a visual novel vs my inability to focus on jack shit ever in my life.

#it’d also be like. if not directly a danny phantom fan game rewrite then something blatantly derivative which would b fun #but I couldn’t sell it or anything and the amount of work it would take is #like when I say scope creep nightmare I mean this thing would take place over 4 years and be a full series rewrite w/ dynamic paths #like the series itself would be 200000+ words (52 episodes * 22 minutes * 200 words per on-screen minute_ #and that’s with 0 branching paths or narration bc it’s a kids cartoon and not a visual novel #plus I’d need to add more content towards the backend bc season 3 mostly sucks and the ideas that don’t suck need to be earlier on #and that’s before we get into the fucking art scope creep #bc I played slay the princess and scarlet hollow so now I’d ‘’need’’ to make thousands of assets like those games #’’need’’ as in ‘’I have so many ideas for scene-specific sprite background interactions if I don’t do these I’ll die’’ #yes I am genuinely planning shit out no this game will never actually exist #because again. scope creep nightmare. guy who can’t focus. guy who’s never written anything substantial before. #ALSO I STARTED PLANNING IT IN THIS INFINITE CANVAS APP #NOT KNOWING THE LASSO SELECT TOOL COSTS 39.99 TO UNLOCK #theres more in that price but for the most part I just need the lasso and that’s not available on its own #and the only other way is through a subscription which is dumb. fuck that #lalala
