Working on cutscene pictures
Floaty rock animation picture
Currently working on cutscene
I feel like I should put what I did yesterday. Hopefully, I will only do this once. I may have babbled on about stuff.
My windows laptop had a black screen with only the cursor being visible. I connected a lot of cords to it and a fan cooler to it. It looked like it was on life support. I had to let it die because it would show/do nothing when I tried to enter recovery and restarting tricks didn’t work. When it finally died I gave it a quick 5 min rest before I put in the power supply and restarted it, hoping for me to at least see the logo. The logo did show up and I got into the recovery mode and restored it to an earlier date. This labtop has really gone to hell and back with me and I like how the computer still works even though I’ve had to restored back to factory settings in the past.
This particular black screen session happened because of some windows update. I downloaded the witcher games because they were on sale. I launched the witcher 3 and saw that same update that messed with the computer try to install and canceled it.
I haven’t played any witcher games before so I thought I’d try it out because people say good things about it. I’m playing the first game and the dialog system that they built is really intricate. Like so many things can be asked to certain npc’s judging by what you find or who you talked to about stuff. There was even something that happened at the beginning of the game where you had to make a choice and a bit after in the game when you get into a fight on a bride, it gets brought up that this could have been a different situation on the bridge because of the choice that you made in the beginning. The last rpg game that I bought was final fantasy 15 for pc when it was released and that game was a shit show. I’m truly amazed at the witcher 1 game and I could only expect it to get better with the newer games.

Cleaned project files of cutscenes by getting rid of things that don’t need to be in it any longer like ref folders. I used to scan my drawings from paper then use it as a ref for drawing in photoshop or bring in a bg asset so I can use the colour of something that I was referencing like a vehicle. For example, the scan refs alone in one file caused it to be a bit over 500 mb for some reason. When I took out the ref it went to 20 mb. I feel that taking out the refs would be a good thing because in future when I try to put it into public domain, it’ll just be easier for someone to download. Some refs will be left in.
Some of my first files are hard to navigate. It’s disgusting. It’s atrocious.
Redid Agro from the first cutscene when he’s falling down
Redid and replaced Agro on the title screen and moved things a little

Working on new tileset, I’m going to remove the pathways a bit for this one.

Made spotty horse a head armor

Currently making a battle back
Finished inking all the character busts and will colour them now.
I’m not sure how long I’ve been up for. I think I woke up around 9 pm yesterday. I’m trying to fix my sleeping schedule. I’m posting now because I may fall asleep and forget to post later. I’m thinking of going to sleep at around 10 pm. Nothing good to watch. I’m extremely bored.
Brought the pictures into game but still need to implement them
Added some more dialogue for 3 characters, just a couple lines.
I was going to go through the game and remove the word “POTION” entirely but decided not to. It’s price is on top of it, cutting off some of the words because its too long but some items have long words so it really doesn’t matter that if I changed it now. Maybe for the next game I’ll make everything shorter.
Fixed shop keeper image from not going away when don’t using shop in a level. Forgot to do that. I’m still working on the shop thing because I need to implement the new items. I believe I have been putting it off because it does require a lot of mental energy to make new art/designs and animations for them. And place everything correctly. YAWNNNNN
Adjusted some words for a cutscene. Quick fix. I was missing a word.
Fixed item description for strawberry item. Forgot to add one word.
I’ll start implementing the cutscene tonight.
I’m showing the face of what I am working on. It looks pretty bad but I am cleaning it up and basically redoing it and making it cleaner and just more nicer to look at. This is the rough design of it.
These rough designs get deleted because I feel they are a waste of space and useless to keep. I usually do these animation things for items in one shot anyways.
Updated two icons. Added cigarette and smoke to one. Made branches/stems darker for the other.
Designed rough layout of new lvl
Currently drawing new bg tileset
The picture appears to be nothing because the sad fact is that drawing the tileset is actually kind of boring but you just gotta go with the flow.
Updated CHARS 15 and added a char
Updated tileset 1 and added one more thing
Updated “It’s My Window” skill tileset and animation
Going to start building level.
Building level.
I think the level is turning out pretty good. I spent over 5 hours or something just clicking things so things don’t appear to be repetitive and I don’t really feel good about that. Before when making levels it was easier to do but this level is different. It will look repetitive for one tile anyways. Oh well.
Updated and cleaned up bg tileset 2 more
