Weekly report 210
Hi everybody.
I hope you're all doing well and have had a great week. Here's a summary of what Chestnut and I have been up to:
Chestnut:
She's been working on cutscenes, drawing hands and other variations for existing events where sprites are used. The stuff she's working on right now is too spoilery, so unfortunately she hasn't been able to record art creation videos, and it involves the beginning parts of Gomira's second update.
Pistachio:
I had a lot of difficulty in the first few days of the week staying productive. It's not that I didn't try, but the energy drink cans I drink every night to stay awake just didn't work as well, and I kept having to go back and recheck the work of the night before and making adjustments (sometimes redoing parts of what was 'done'). Anyway, the short of it is that we took one day off, and came back to work after a good rest. The results were great really. I stayed awake until way after Chesnut too had woken up because I was excited to show her the changes to Gomira's ending (the part I've been redoing). She loved the new stuff, and is very excited about drawing the new placeholder cutscenes I've created (there are few, I'm sorry to say, but they're worth it). Anyway, I'm still going to be working on this event but I expect by Monday I'll be focusing on the next bit.
Next week's plan:
Chestnut is going to continue working on cutscenes. Whether she will get to begin drawing the newer stuff I've been making will depend on how soon she finishes the current event she's drawing variations for.
My goal for the next week is to finish the new parts I've added to the ending of Gomira's update, then go back to the intro, and work on the cutscene that also needs to be adjusted/redone. If I can do both of these in the coming week, I'll be a very happy developer.
That's all.
Have a wonderful wonderful weekend.

Its literally been years since you dropped an update of the actual game whatever is finished and polished you should release to build your hype back up and revenue sources. People are tired of just reading updates about the difficulty.
It's close to two years since our last update, and I know that's not good for us in any shape or form. but people have waited too long (and supported us for months and months despite everything) and they deserve a finished release (as finished as our previous updates were when we released them) with proper polish, a coherent story, and a bug-free experience. about our reports, I'm sorry that they have been mentioning a lot of challenges. I don't preplan our weekly reports and just try to share everything work-related that has happened in the week prior to the report as honestly and as transparently as I can. If the reports mentioned difficulties, that's because we've been having a difficult couple of years. It will be over.
Don't push yourself too hard, we all appreciate what you're doing!
Nice to hear about the progress. But please take care of you. Drinking to many energy cans is not good for you. Trust me I know! So listen to your body. If you’re to tired to work please sleep.
thanks! yeah, I'm careful not to drink too many or I won't be able to stop shaking the next day. I usually do go to bed if I see despite energy drink and coffee I can't keep my eyes open or nod mid work. and when we need a break, like last week, we take it
