Weekly Status Report
Good evening,
It's gotten late again so before I get too tired I decided to write this report before in the end it would be delayed until monday.
It's been another busy week. I'm still working on 0.6.0.5 and have now gotten close to finishing it, but as so often there is still more work to do before it's actually done. But let's start at the beginning of the week:
I started the week with more pictures for Arianna's scene. As previously announced, I needed more transitional images, which I worked on on Monday. On Tuesday I spent the whole day writing on events and the associated dialogue. In the course of this I needed more sprites, which I then made. Some of them are variations of cultists (so they actually look a bit different), but also some new enemies along with some situational sprites like sleeping and the like. I needed another small map for the rest of the story, which I also made.
I then spent most of the remaining days writing. Some things I revised afterwards when I read over them again, other things fitted straight away. I also made a few bugfixes of older problems during the week, thanks again for your reports on the discord!
All in all, the story is now almost written to the point I wanted to reach with 0.6.0.5.
However, the implementation of Arianna's scene is still missing. Earlier today I started adding in the images for it and will start working on the code for the scene itself right after that.
What's still missing then are the dialogues for the scene and ontop of that I have to make a replayable version of the scene, which should be playable in Arianna's bedroom (for which I haven't made background renders yet).
In addition, an endpoint has to be created that then serves as a good breakpoint before the 0.6.1.0 update. In other words, a few dialogues with Roderic/Verena/Rick are still missing, in which they are talking about the events. Once that's all done, I'll have to start testing, which I haven't started with in any form yet.
All in all, I have doubts that I will be able to finish it tonight. It's more realistic that I'll manage it at the beginning of next week.
However, it is now really foreseeable and if nothing else completely messes up I should be able to finish it by Monday/Tuesday evening.
I hope you can forgive me again for this delay.
I will continue to work as long as I can today and then continue on Monday with renewed vigour.
That is all for now, I wish you all a nice weekend!
