Word count dropped because I threw out some bits I didn't like and rewrote a lot of day 9.

I have reached 65% overall completion. Whoo.

Also, I realized I mentioned before I was thinking of adding things like living doodles. I never actually said I threw that idea out. lol I did, I decided to incorporate doodles into folklore instead.

I have so far included references to art block as someone recommended me to earlier.

If anybody has any other ideas I'd like to hear them. lol

1. Do you like my art?
2. Do you like the concept?
3. How do you customize the buttons?
4. What do you think of my characters?
5. Would you be interested in a demo? This game is somewhat short. My overall estimated word count falls somewhere between 9k and 12k atm. I have the outline finished but I won't know for sure till I finish the script.

First off I love this concept! Did you ever see the show Chalk Zone as a kid? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChalkZone I don't think this is the same- but I love the concept. This has a deeper theme and I really like the "Untitled" character. Perfect WIP!

Questions:
1. The art, I would say, is pretty fair and easy to look at.
2. Really like the concept! (As said above too haha)
3. Ah, I'm working on that too, I can link to a good tutorial though - http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... f=8&t=9812 <- this has all custom GUI and buttons etc. Look around for others too that might be easier to follow.
4. I like the characters! I don't have one that I've fallen for just yet, but I am curious to know more about them!
5. I'm going to try to download the demo soon~

I haven't actually. XD Is it similar?

Thank you! Please tell me what you think when you do.

I actually forgot I asked about the buttons. XD I figured out how to make them change color with hover and figured that was customized enough. Haha. Thank you for answering but I should edit that question out. Probably do that now.

I’ve finished Day 10! The game has hit 70% overall completion!

I’ll post a new screenshot once I manage to get a good chunk of day 11 done. I can’t guarantee when that will be but hopefully within the next two weeks.

​The Town Called Data has hit 75% completion!

Three new screenshots are up now on my website as well: thetowncalleddata.weebly.com

The preferences and load/save menus have a background now and the vast bulk of the game is complete.

I don't think I'll have too much trouble finishing it by the end of summer. c:

I finally added another expression for Sam, now the lowest number of expressions per character is 5. I have a more accurate final word count now too, 10.000-11,000. Day 12 is also complete! Making the game finally 80% complete overall! Getting into the final stretch now. lol

Also, the cursor is now a fish, it gets explained later in the game. lol

I finally figured out how to make words appear one character at a time. lol I think it looks a lot more like a game now, haha!

Day 13 is complete! The game is officially 85% complete and only one more day to write and code! After that I'll work on music and final revision.

The coding for Daniel's ending is now also almost finished. Just like for Ivy's route, I'll put off doing the final segment for his ending for now, the bulk of it is already done though. I've also started on Sam's route. His background art is already sketched out. For those of you still keeping up on this, thanks for supporting me. It's getting close. (Keep in mind though that I will still need to go back for final revision and music after the story is completed but I will definitely be finishing something this summer as planned.)
