It's been a couple of months since I finished work on the first stage of Ubu. I've decided to start work on stage 2.

I've already got a rough idea of how I want stage 2 to play out. The first half of the stage should be the easier section to make. The second half is probably going to be much harder because I'll be introducing a new character in this half.

I've already got a sprite in mind for this character. The "story" of this character is still being formulated. For now, I'm going to focus on scripting out the first half of stage 2. The focus for this half is to fill in the gaps of knowledge that I didn't include in stage 1 and to add more characterisation moments for the two main characters. There was too much to establish in stage 1, so I didn't get a chance to write many characterisation moments.

In the meantime, I've also released an update for stage 1 to fix some of the issues I found while replaying it. This new version can be downloaded from the bottom of the Ubu itch.io page.

Going forward, I'll be keeping up this production journal to help keep track of Ubu's development. Not every entry in this journal will be as detailed as this one. I've also started up a website here to host this production journal.
