Back in order

Heya, it's a lil update from my recent computer troubles and also the Project Snapdragon, or Stuck On You development.

So first things first, I've gotten this computer in pretty good shape now, gotten used to the new brushes and I think I've installed at least the majority of software I need. At least what I need right now. I will get back on working art soon, glad I have some pics I've never uploaded for the mean time.

Secondly is little update on Stuck On You development.
Installing Ren'py again basically updated it to the newest version. I've been using an old version of Ren'py where I coded and edited the scripts with Editra or whatever that Notepad++ looking software was. I mean it was fine and worked well, I liked it so I never bothered to work on anything else, it just didn't ever notify me about any errors in the code. So now that Ren'py is updated, it is using Visual Code as the default editor, and that's handy. But it also basically highlights EVERY single fuck up I have had in the code. It also highlights that there is major bug in the game, which did not hinder the game in previous versions but in the newest will crash it, I think. So that's good, it was easy fix too, I just have to make sure it actually does work tho.

But now the major thing here: In newer Ren'py versions some old functions I've been using have gone obsolete. Mainly the thing I used to smash all the character sprites together. That got me looking into alternative and/or better solutions.
So things lead to another and I think I will re-work the character sprite code completely to make it more tolerable and easier to use.

It's not like game-changing or anything to be super worried about, I will spend few days doing that I guess and maybe once it's done I will stuff all my work into a update-build and let you guys see some of the WIP-sprites! I've shown part of Rina's sprite already but I should get all of them in flat-colors too. Oh yeah and while I do that I probably will have to clean a WHOLE lot of my code. Visual Code is telling me there is 141 problems in my code, and those are not even the grammar mistakes I have to fix with the help of my lovely editor, Rain, who has also been arguing with me about fictional dishes in the player character's house. Rain this is a callout, I know you read these.

Anyways though I'd do lil update here so you guys don't think I completely just ended up dying over the whole computer debacle! 

Enjoy proof pics about my suffering when Editra's tab press isn't what Visual Code wanted.

EDIT:

SO GUESS WHO REALIZED JUST NOW THAT THE NEW FUNCTION I'M USING TO GET THESE SPRITES IN ORDER IS BASICALLY JUST LIKE MY OWN FUNCTION I DID FOR THOSE CG IMAGES WHILE BACK
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Anyways, I'm not sure if still should go with the function I made or just kinda work with this already existing function, I mean mine is still lot shorter code wise, but the Ren'py's own function is sure to work. I guess I should probably adapt my function to work with all the other CG art so I can just use it?
