First background- Done! I may still mess around with the saturation/contrast depending on how it looks with the sprites, but other than that, I'm pretty happy with it.

Thank you! It even has doors now:

And here's the sketch for the cabin interior bg!

Not sure how I feel about this one yet. It's difficult to get the perspective looking right for such a cramped room while leaving enough space for the sprites and text box.

There's still so much to do T_T I'm already miles ahead of where I was last year, but this project is quite a bit larger in terms of art assets. I don't even want to think about the CGs I need...

Another background down!

Image

I'm still not sure if I'll be able to finish everything I need in time for the jam... But! I definitely have enough stuff for the first half of the game. I decided to set a cut-off date. If by that time I'm not on schedule to finish, I'll just work on the first half of the story, with the second half coming in April.

The first half of the game is already over 10k words... when I estimated the whole story to be around 15k T_T

Oh wow, I love how that train turned out! (And there's another eyeball on the door, nice)

Also I just caught up on all the expression images you did, looking good! I think I like Jay's the best so far haha. And I 100% agree about using layered images for expressions, it's so much easier that way.

Sorry for the radio silence, and thanks for the encouragement! The past few days I've been chugging along trying to finish the script, and I've just about got it ready to go into Renp'y.

I did end up deciding to cut the project in half, because there's no way I can write the rest of it in time. It's looking like part one will be around 15k total words... This one got away from me.

I'm almost ready to put everything together! My only remaining 'must have' assets are:
-1 BG
-1 sprite (a new character! How exciting.)
-The game's GUI

I'm hoping to also at least make some small 'cut in' style... mini CGs I guess? I'm going to put the game together first and then decide what I have time and energy to do. I know we have an extra two weeks to submit now, which is nice, but I kinda want to be done with this xD

I plan on continuing the project and writing part two after NaNo ends, but it will be nice to be able to take my time.

Anyway, here's the sketch for the last BG:
Image

I think I've said this about every BG so far, but I'm not really feeling this one atm. I don't really have time to redo it, though -_-; Onward, I guess!

Final background is almost done! It just needs shadows now.

Image

I also updated one of the previous bgs because the colors were really bugging me. the two rooms on the train have a lot of matching colors, but hopefully they don't look too same-y!

Image

----------
In other news, the script for part 1, the part I'm releasing for NaNo, is finished and completely working in Ren'py!

Code: Select all

Statistics:

The game contains 1,076 dialogue blocks, containing 13,859 words and 73,591
characters, for an average of 12.9 words and 68 characters per block.
It always seems so much longer while you're writing it, then when you sit down to read through the finished product, it feels so short. This is about the halfway point in the story... I hope it's enough to be entertaining! A few things have changed in the plot, so I'll have to update the synopsis soon.

----------
Ever since hearing the deadline got extended, I've found myself procrastinating a bit. I'm not sure how I feel about missing the initial deadline, but I've decided to just go with the flow for now. At least I know I will for sure have something presentable by the new deadline.

I am very excited for this! Even if it's only half the story, I am super excited to get to know these characters and what's going on! Ah yes, I totally feel ya on the writing -- it feels so long, yet when you play it straight through, it goes by much faster! This is especially true if you write multiple scenes affected by choices.

I'll do my best to deliver!

I've got all the sprites and backgrounds set up, and now I'm working on adding expressions to the lines. This part is so tedious...

Image

Nice try, Robin, but Jay hasn't relaxed a single day in his life.

As you can see, I'm also working on the GUI. I'm keeping it super simple because well... There are like five days left lol. But I think the simplicity is going well with my very stark/crispy art style...? I hope, anyway.

It looks like I won't be able to do my extra character sprite or CGs, which is what I figured. I'll have to add them after the deadline.

More screenshots! I like the recent addition of Ren'py being able to blur images in engine. It gives a nice little polish to close up shots.

Images, sounds, and music are all coded in, and the GUI is all done! That means...

THE GAME IS FINISHED.

I'm going to use the next couple days to see if I can quickly whip up an eyecatch image for the game's main menu and the itch.io thumbnail, and then I'll be able to publish it!

I'm so ready to not have to look at this game for a little while, haha.
