Hello!

The first week is over, which means it's time to share the game's progress!!

Topics

• Early character profiles
• Main character sketch
• Game screenshots

The Bois

I made a simple profile card for each character, like those cool visual novels do! So, here's our cast:

They're finally people, now!! The only thing left to do is draw them!

Speaking of which...

Elio Volkov

I started drawing his sprite! Here you go!

I didn't get to mention this in the other devlog, but I'm planning on every character having 2-frame animation for their sprites. So... here's Elio's animated portrait!

I'm very excited to see how the game looks with everyone having animated expressions!!

The Game

There's not much to share, since the game is mostly placeholders right now... But I think that makes it look pretty silly!

It's Elio!!

It's Calum!!

It's Warrick!! (But squished)

I have some minor adjustments to make to the placeholder UI, but it's better than I expected it to be after just a week!

In Conclusion

Summary

1.  Elio is sad and likes lilies
2.  Calum is happy and 5' 7" tall
3.  Warrick is Warrick and his dialogue so far gives himbo vibes
4.  Elio is buff (and also animated, which I intend to do for all characters)
5.  Placeholder UI is exceptionally satisfactory

This whole week has gone so much better than I expected! I'm ahead of my writing goal, right where I should be with illustrations, and I have a pretty decent plan for the next weeks that follow!

 I've felt so much more relaxed, having two months to make a game, instead of two weeks!

I hope you enjoyed this update! See you next week!!

Bye-Bye~! <3
