Hello!
I'm sorry for the delay with the Devlog, but I wanted to have some more things to show before I deliver the news! XD We're currently alive and making all we can to deliver the game in time
As for the devlog:
♦
Writing
Now we have +-6.000 words, so nearly 60% done. That wasn't what I was expecting to have at this point, but well, I think I can manage to finish it on time! The lore is fully defined, as well as the outlines for all chapters. Now that the GUI and all my other jobs are almost done I can focus more on the writing too. I need some scene directing too, since my scripts are all messed and I don't know where each sprite will go yet. But WORRY NOT!
♦
Sprites
Sir Little Popcorn Basket, the third - 83% done. We need just 1 more.
Melusine - 1 more to go too.
Gregor - It wasn't in our plans to give this character a sprite, but in the end he turned out to be of such importance that... Well! He's the owner of Fable Realm! The sketch is done, and the artist plans to finish his lineart and painting today. Also, he's named after Gregor from Fire Emblem Awakening, Although he's an old man wearing mage cloths.
This is gregor:
Some Sir's sprites with little boots and a tophat.
Mei's wings!
♦
Scenes
So, thinking about not overdoing our artist with work (since he works full time as an animator in a platform game aside from Umiloo), we're thinking about only 2 scenes. One is already done and the sketch for the other too, so he thinks that if he has the time, he can focus in doing more before the end of Nanoreno, but only if he can manage to do some time travel or maybe learn some doppelganger skills.
♦
Chibi Scenes
So, we were planning 4 chibi scenes. I already have in mind how I want each one, and we have one done, so we're needing 3 more now!
♦
Backgrounds
2 more backgrounds are being done at the moment and will be completed by the end of the week. We plan on having just two more (3 at max), so our artist kinda finished this area.
UNFINISHED BG
♦
Music
Doodled send us the sound effects for the hover, select and the "start game", so our menu is looking fancy now. The music for chapter 3 is done, and he send us the music for chapter 1, but it needs some adjustments, so he's working on it. Also, the music for the main theme is being produced now too!
♦
Programming
So, our programmer never really worked with Renpy before, so we were afraid that he couldn't manage it, but he is practing so hard and we're really proud! He plans to have the first and second chapter implemented by this weekend so we can send it to our beta tester. He's doing the GUI menu with image button, and is learning a lot from Uncle Mugen's Image button guide!
This will be some images for the quit menu, Sir Little Popcorn Basket, the third, crying as you say yes to leaving the game and smiling brightly as you say no to the quit option. <3
And this is a screenshot of the ingame menu! We'll polish some things, but this is what we have now. XD The textbox is being a really dramatic thing to do, so it's not in the screenshot yet.
Also, thanks a lot for all the people that are helping me out with the script! You guys are amazing, and I really couldn't do it without you XD Also, thank you all for the support untill now! It helps a lot, knowing that there are people that wants to play our VN. It helps in times of despair, when we just want to quit! </3 Thank you all!
