THE INN - JANUARY 2024 DEVLOG 2

What's up people?

Since I posted the previous devlog back on the 15th I have made some substantial progress on getting everything ready for the real meat of the update.

I have managed to port all the assets I need (over 1500 assets!) and recreated Linda's house's interior from scratch using them.

Recreating her house from the ground up was necessary for two reasons:

• The old assets used in chapter 1 were, well... Old. Most of them were actually vanilla assets from HS, and those didn't age well, boy... They sure didn't...
• I also meant to upgrade Linda's house with new interior cells like an attic and a basement to lay the groundwork for future events.

I also managed to make her house look more "lived in" by placing countless clutter and decor objects around the house.

I finished that last week and moved right into setting up the lighting for those interior cells, which was actually a way easier job then setting up the environment itself.

Only the guest and Linda's bedrooms are left to set up lighting and I should be done with them tomorrow. Then it's it's time for some proper Chapter 2 development!

Also, earlier this week Ren'Py finally got updated!

As I said in the last devlog, I was waiting for this udpate to re-release 0.09.02 with all the fixes and other stuff that came up since it was released.

I didn't have time to test it yet, but I'll do so next week and then make the re-release.

I don't have much to show for this devlog's previews, but you can check some screenshots I took while setting up the interior cells and the lighting in the official sneak-peek posts HERE (Patreon) or HERE (SubscribeStar).

Have fun!
