Hi everybody.

Happy Friday to all and a Happy Thanksgiving to our friends from the US! I hope you had a great week and have something fun planned for the weekend. Here's our report:

Chestnut:

The focus of Chestnut's work last week was fixing a few things with the sex scenes she's been working on since I did a preliminary test with the skeletal rigging and found a few issues. More importantly, we realized that one of the backdrops we had for an important sex scene didn't work at all and had to be redone. Spotting this issue also revealed a problem with one of the update's earlier events that takes place in the same location and that I will have to revisit in the polish phase.

Pistachio:

I didn't expect to code much last week, but that's probably because I didn't remember that the code for some of the events in the second half of the update had been left unfinished. The reason? Back when I coded the core structure of the events, I knew what was going to happen, but I wasn't sure what would feel better gameplay-wise. Overall, I'm happy with the direction I took last week. For one thing, I made sure to address one of 0.7's main criticisms, namely, that we had long stretches of multi-event scenarios where players had no freedom to roam about at all. The code I did last week made the narrative slightly weaker since the player can stop Holly's story at a critical moment and do other quests, but I think gameplay and the freedom to approach WaL! as you wish are more important. I also edited dialogues and posed conversations involving multiple sprites.

Next week's plan:

Chestnut has been mixing her work on sex scenes with drawing cutscenes and sprites, and she will probably continue doing that until we're happy with the naughty parts of the update.

I plan to continue editing, posing, and coding. I might also spend two days on the audio, something I usually keep for the very end, but I'm a bit tired of mostly posing, and the change would be a welcome one.

That's all.

Have a wonderful weekend (and enjoy your turkeys)
Cheers!
