Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! Here's a summary of our work last week:

Chestnut:

She has continued editing and improving the art for the first part of Gomira's first quest. In addition to the base polish of the art (and creating variations for cutscenes), she also drew two new images to add to an event's cutscenes, which enhanced the whole exchange between characters. I will have to code in these images later and adjust the text slightly to match them.

Pistachio:

I'm done with posing all of the dialogues of the quests (not counting optional convos). My initial plan was finishing the sex scenes or adding sound effects, but instead, I worked on one of the events from Gomira's first quest, which I had already posed but which my posing was done before Chestnut had created the art corresponding to it. I hadn't noticed that after replacing my placeholders with the final images, the animation of this event did not align correctly. I spent a day fixing the animation, only to notice another bug: all of the posing done for that sprite was throwing the animation's timing off (because they kept replacing the facial features and resetting the timing). Anyway, trying different approaches took some time, but I finally fixed that, and I'm happy to say the final result works. I had run into similar issues with other animations in the past. In those cases, I had usually just removed the animation to simplify things, so I'm glad I finally found a workable solution that I can use in the future.

Next week's plan:

Chestnut is going to continue her edit work, and whether she goes for the second part of Gomira's first quest or not will depend on how her work progresses.

My plan is to spend the weekend playing around with audio tasks, and then I'll get to work on either the sex scenes that need animating, adding Chestnut's completed artworks (there are a fair few left), or other necessary tasks.

That's all.

Have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers
