Art

This week I finished up Raif's character teaser and started on Yren's teaser - the final one of the bunch.

Writing

This week I worked on the bonus scenes as intended. I already had Asher's fully drafted and went back for one round of editing.

I drafted Daaz's scene, Kav's scene, and Noel's scene. I plotted out Raif and Yren but have not written them yet.

The scenes aren't that long this time around - just about 1500 words each. Though I want to show where the LI's thoughts are after the events in Chapter 5, there's not too much I can add without continuity considerations.

So it's a lot of ruminating - with some cameos by other cast members for the LI to chat with about the situation.

Coding and Other Stuff

This week the first thing I did was play through all the routes and make corrections and changes to the sprite positioning - as needed.

I also, while testing, got annoyed at the new chime for glossary notifications. This is now set to a toggle that is off by default. It can be turned on in the settings screen.

I also found an error with the glossary/translator that is now fixed.

I added all the SFX to the chapter after acquiring a few no ones and added in the glossary and translator entries. There weren't that many this time around but there were a few.

Upcoming Week

This upcoming week, I want to finish up the bonus scenes, then get them all properly edited so I can code them. The bonus scenes are the last "big" thing I need to do but there are a lot of small things I still have to work on:

Setting up the flowchart unlocks

Setting up the rest of the glossary unlocks

And then the one remaining sprite.

That's all for this week. I will see you next week.
