Well - more of a recap of the last couple weeks.
1) I've finished creating the graphical assets for every character - almost. I'm missing one VERY VERY VERY minor side-character who's not even showing up in the first story arc so - yeah, I'm calling it a day. For the moment being. Will post a pic of the cast once I'm back from holiday
2) current task: developing a Python script that
- reads a character's directory and generates a layeredimage
- calculates every possible combination of facial features and generates a preview
- lets me tag each combo (ie. "smile blush") and saves everything in a JSON database
so that next time I want to call that specific combination I'll write
myshowfun("mika","tracksuit","smile blush")instead of
show mika pose3 pose3_shade_blush pose3_mayu_0 pose3_sclera_0 pose3_hito_1 pose3_mouth_0 pose3_tracksuit
which honestly feels more like reading Nostradamus than a Ren'py script.
The core system is already up and running - it just needs a few tweaks and some polish. Screenshot below.
