Good morning! It's bright and early for me, and I've found myself with some time to give you guys another update on the first patch status! It's been five days since we last spoke, and I am very pleased to say a lot has been done! I know for certain I won't be able to say that every week.
The first patch will be available on the 28th or the 29th, as that marks one whole year of development on St. Agatha City, and I'd like to have a little something to commemorate it! It'll be a small patch, overall, but it's a big deal to me, due to sentimental value.
Let's take a look at the new changes!
Credits!
Credits are being prepped to play at the end of Chapter 0 routes (which, come Chapter 1's release, will then fade into the next day!)
This isn't quite done yet - I still have to add the supporting cast's names, and art, as well as make a physical ear mark for any uncast characters (namely Pixy and Norman) but boy!! It sure does feel good to have something! This is not the final state of the credits, and not just due to missing names! I will be changing the song (Manic Pixie Dream Girl by Casen Pointe) if I cannot get it licensed, and I would love to add a little more shine to this thing!
Also, side note - I set a deadline for myself (12 hours) to get Baxter through Tara done and credited, and I actually made it!! It feels so good to meet a mile stone on schedule.
Chibi chalk Ross has no business being this cute :T
V2 Sprites!
As you can see in the last update reworked Eddie, as I had an excuse to do so with my new sprite system. I've begun doing the same for others as I re-rig their sprites! Check out Norman! Looks pretty good, if you don't mind me saying <3 I'm currently finishing up Marjory, and have begun on Giv!
The Usual Suspects
I got in some really helpful bug reports from my alpha testers, which led to a lot getting cleaned up! If you notice any typos, glitches, or have any suggestions, comments, questions, or concerns - please let me know! These sort of things are invaluable to me, and I do not sleep enough to notice them all on my own!
