Characters are finished!

What I worked on since the last update:

• Finished the designs and sprites for the characters

• Coded the game to a "playable" state

• Finished File 06 UI recoloring

This month went by super quickly, and after designing the characters went so slowly, I've realized I really need to ramp up my productivity if I want File 06 to be released in early 2026. So I've been pushing myself to work more, and have just finished make the File fully "playable" — I'm now able to play the entire File through, though obviously its missing all the art and music and looks super rough. It's as though I've laid down a "blueprint", and now I can begin actually building the house. The next big goal will be blocking out all those backgrounds and then modeling all the props and everything for them.

Until next time!
