And so finally, the phone update. I'm so fucking sure I forgot something or something breaks, BUT right now it's just time to trust that none of you can find it or break the game.
I definitely have to check the phone script, I gotta rework the "contacts" screen too so it's not horrible looking. I said somewhere before, but this fucking script is held together with tape and my hopes and dreams. I have no idea why there are some white lines in the speech bubbles sometimes... I really hope I'm just hallucinating them at this point.
But other than that, yes more grammar will be have to done everywhere. BUT at least for now it should be passable at points. Though, for now I will focus a little bit on writing forward all the main routes and drawing all the lovely pictures. Like said somewhere before, my goal is to get the demo out by the end of the summer. After that I there might be some smaller updates here and there to sprites and whatnots and might even do some try-outs of the Routes or some specific scenes for the routes. But that will be later.
What's new?
- Fixed some of the bad grammar. Not all because there is no end to it but at least some.
- Reworked phone a little bit so now it can do some things inside the engine, aka...
- Added code that makes writing and doing text-screens easier for me than editing whole picture which I slap onto the game then.
It's not perfect, there are few problems with how it draws the screen. So those bugs will be tried to be fixes. NOTE if you play this version and your game crashes or you find something that does seems not to work properly, please contact me!
- First of many early versions of the backgrounds added. From the stream. Fun times.
What's next?
- Take all the needed assets for the demo and finish them. Maybe more streams, definitely off stream work.
- Getting sketches done for background art for Michael's house75%, Rina's house75%, rest of Sean's shop85% and Player's house80% Number have changed because new day/night variants are needed.. and numbers also try reflect the planned (but not yet needed) sketches.
- Work on getting songs and soundtrack in general.
- Work on getting sound effects and add them.
- Fixing grammar and honing the phone to look better.
- Adding few new poses for Michael. The dude is so static.
- Adding "special sprites" for few scenes.
- Probably going to also rework the UI few times, to figure out which will be the best for the game.
- Work on writing the main routes of every character. Rina 20%, Sean 80%, Michael 5% and Ian 5%.
Like usual, I'm so glad people are giving this silly project of mine a change. Thank you for the support and everything else too.
I will try and get something more interesting for you guys during the summer too ^^ Not just VN.
