Progress Update # 8 for v0.05

Hey y'all! Happy Friday! Hope y'all had fun on halloween yesterday!

Good news for everyone today! I hit the goal I set out to accomplish last week (mainly finishing all the connie scenes). So without further ado, here is what I got done:

• Connie Post Prom Scene
  • This is a bit of simpler animation, but an animation nonetheless with 2 variations
  • There are also 2 other minor variations for this one
  • I didn't want to quite spoil this scene, so instead I provided one of my sketches for the brainstorming I was doing for it before I changed it completely and went with a different sketch of mine.
• Connie at Prom Scene
  • This one is pictured above and just has a few minor facial expressions (one of which you can see above haha)
• Voice Acting
  • So great news! The voice actress has finished all three chapters that will be added as a part of this update. I am in the process of reviewing the lines for tone and any issues in word choice etc.
    • Now it's just a matter of revising it with the voice actress and adding the lines to the game.

So you might be asking, what now? Now that Connie's scenes are 99% done, I will be shifting all my artistic efforts onto Lois, and working on all her scenes. This is what I have in mind for that so far:

• Lois Pre-prom scene
• Lois During Prom scene
  • Hopefully I can reuse some sketches or lineart for this one to speed up the process
• Lois Post-prom scene
  • This will be animated, although in a simpler way maybe
• Lois Day after prom scene
  • This will be animated

As you can tell, as we approach the final stretch, I still have quite some art to finish. And, as always with Lois, I want to make sure I can deliver and make her art the best (hence saving her for last). I have a good idea of the scenes I want to draw for her, so the meat of the brainstorming will come for what dress + makeup she will be using (and even then I am like 70% sure of what I want to go with).

Besides the Lois artwork, I still have to finish the following:

• 3 Character models
  • Stu with prom suit
  • Connie's mom
  • Lois with prom dress
• Review and Add Voice Acting
• Story Outline and branching choices

I decided that maybe the additional backgrounds I was looking to do were wholly unnecessary as I am trying to really cut down on the time left before I deliver this update. So far we are still on track for a late November and early December release date, but as always I will keep y'all updated in case I am running behind trying to get all the Lois scenes done.

But that's about it from my end for now. Once again, thank you all for supporting me! Hope y'all have a great weekend!
