Weekly progress report

Hello guys! This week I have a lot to talk and show, first as you can see we have Esmeralda's sprite ready, her in game model needs a bit more animations but that will be fixed really soon. Aside from that I during this week I forced my friends to play and I got some results to share.

As always let's start with the 2D, obviously I got Esmeralda's sprite, but I got her just today and I asked the artist to send her in some drive or any other non-discrod way to avoid losing quality. So I just got to add the sprites and then add them to the event. On the other side, I tried contacting the artist working on Kate this week and he isn't answering back and haven't posted in a couple weeks, let's hope for some answer soon because I'll start needing those sprites in a couple weeks.

The new area, of course I need to add events, but it looks nice!

For the game, I think I'll start with the things my friends have agreed on: 1- The game looks way better than before 2- The ambientation is nice 3- They miss the church at the begining so I need it to make it easier to spot 4- They don't realize the camera can be moved 5- Maybe some mini map would help. So today I'm going to start fixing the third point which seems the most straight forward, for the minimap I think I need some extra work for it, because the in game minimap just marks the kind of terrain and what my friends told me is that they need to find specific buildings like the church or the comunity center.

This was going to take a couple hours to fix, but seems like it will be a couple days

And now to what I've been doing this week, I have been working the first half of the week on the manor area, first I started fixing the events that are already in, so you can get inside the yard but then I realized the manor itself it's more or less empy, so I started decorating and one thing lead to another, we got new sofas for the entire game as well as a new library set that's mainly in the manor's library and that ended up with a mostly finished area, decoration wise. Then I started working on the side quest from the town, so now we have 3 more side quests, a hunting rifle without bullets, you can find the bullets hidden or you can pretend to be a cultist to find our where they are, after the town is attaked you can check the temporary police precint and finally there is a hidden safe in town, the password is hidden in the factory. Finally I arrived to the bane of my sanity, the combat animations, originally the plan was to update MC's animation and make Nicole and Erica right handed, but now the areas where items attach are in different positions for everyone so I have work to do.

I want to finish v0.1 before the next report but I'm not so sure now, it's not imposible but mostly depends on how long the animaton fixes take.
