Balancing Game Dev with Life and Making Cutscenes – Ryu's Revenge Weekly Update #2


Welcome back! This is the second weekly update of Ryu’s Revenge, where I share the progress I’ve made over the last week.

This past week, I (kinda) completed the second and third cutscenes. This means that only one sub-cutscene remains to finish the first cutscene and, hopefully, release a free demo soon.

Cutscenes

As I mentioned, three cutscenes are kinda done. By this, I mean the characters are present and performing their actions, but they have placeholder dialogues, and the village still lacks houses. Additionally, the fire needs some smoke, and I want to add rain and lightning for those dramatic moments.

Unfortunately, I can’t show you the cutscenes here as they may spoil the game for you, but they’ll be in the free demo.

Personal Update

It’s still unclear when the demo will be ready, especially after I got that part-time job.

Balancing game development, a job, and maintaining healthy habits (workouts, reading, etc.) is tough, and I’m still adapting to this new routine.

Challenges include:

  • Struggling to maintain a consistent sleep schedule.
  • Moving workouts to the morning because it’s not always feasible after work.
  • Reducing or cutting some activities to make time for game development.

But I won’t give up, and I believe I will eventually manage to balance everything.

Sorry for not having much to show off, but you can either read the previous Weekly Update or follow me for more. Thanks for reading, and see you next week!
