Started Raif CG
Completed a couple of other minor assets
Got a new BG sketch
Writing
Continued working on the bonus scene - the rough draft is nearly done. Still mostly have been working on other things since I don't expect this scene will really take that long as a whole.
Ironically...that's making it take longer though since I'm only doing it a bit at a time. Ha ha.
Art
Finished the last Asher CG, which has Wil in it. Got that coded with minimal issues.
...
Obviously these CGs take a while because I have to draw all the body forms of Wil + face shapes + 8 hairstyles in two colours each. Even though I no longer have to do the recolours for the MC's skin, I have to do a lot of re-drawing this time around so it still takes a while to draw and then save the files, then code them.
But doing this Asher CG showed me how I'm going to have to layer the photoshop files going forward....
Started on Raif's final CG which has Wil in it (all the remaining CGs do). I am mostly through with the line art, then I have to render and, of course, save the files.
I remember okaying a BG sketch this week but I don't recall of what. Ha ha.
I made a minor BG asset and put it in the game as well. Though I'm outsourcing most of the BG stuff, I'm making a few of the smaller ones myself - things like cut ins or very simple BGs.
Coding and Other Stuff
Coding wise, the big thing I did this week was coding the one CG. Unlike solo CGs which are really simple to code, the CGs that have Wil in them require a little more effort. For one thing they are layered images which means they are composited (And no, firefox, I do not mean composted thank you) together from pieces of a full image.
Additionally because Wil is in the CG, there are some things related to the customisation that have to be coded as well. So they do take a little more time to set up and test.
Otherwise nothing major related to code.
I did some work on the guide this week but honestly I've just been really busy with other stuff and real life things. I have all the choices put into the guide but need to go back and double check it all. There's some weird branching that occurs and I want to make sure each character has the correct choice options listed for them.
The only thing left to really complete the guide is to add in all the CGs. the locations are noted but the thumbnails aren't added since they aren't all complete yet.
Upcoming Week
Writing the bonus scene
Finishing Raif's CG
Hopefully starting the next CG...
Making corrections
Working on the guide
As mentioned previously, I will be rotating between these things until they are done.
That is all for now. I shall see you in a week or so.
