Weekly progress report
Hello guys! Time for another report, this week my life is finally getting normal again, I got better from the flu and my grandma is no longer at the hospital so I can work normally. What did I do this week? nothing too flashy.
For the 2D side, yesterday I got the lineart for the 2 characters I comisioned last week. Those guys will be in v0.3 but I had to wait for the poll to finish so I could comision the saleswoman, probably we'll see these guys painted during the week so I'll start with the new girl, the other 2D thing I'm missing is the faces for the new enemies, but that will be at the end since it's a short one and I don't need to interact much with it during development.
For the rest of the stuff! During the week I got most of the generic stores ready at the mall, right now I'm missing 3 but I know what they'll be so there isn't much to make up and I need to do the signs too. I did start the library which is the Catalina area and will take way less to make than the mall, since each map won't have multiple areas, it's a one map/ one area situation, unlike the mall which each map had at the bare minimum 5 areas per map. So I'm hoping to have most of the library ready for next week. Right now I was getting the dialogue for the library an the first draft is like 70% ready, probabbly it will be finished by Monday, maybe today even.
This week most of the work time was spent adding new models to the game or fighting to make them work, for example yesterday I spent half morning fighting against a flag which isn't the best use of time, but that's the kind of stuff that's going to be 20 minutes and escalates to hours or reasearch, trial and error.
So, to say v0.2 is finished I think need to get the extra stores at the mall working and the library area quest, of course more polish in the new areas but there are some parts in the first chapter that really need more time, I have been fixing some stuff here and there but probably the stuff regarding the last boss needs more atention.
I think the phone will be a mini update in itslef, something like v0.2.1 where I'll get the phone and more GUI polish, because there are some parts that are messy and the maps! I need to make the maps useful, because right now it only shows the terrain type but that doesn't help much.
So, yeah probably in 2 weeks I'll have v0.2 ready. I hope, unless my grandma falls again or I catch a cold again.
