Weekly report 122

Added 2022-09-09 20:14:14 +0000 UTC

Hi everybody.

First, the 0.8 poll got concluded last Sunday, and if you don't know which character/story we will focus on after Gomira, see the results here. Now for the weekly report:

Chestnut:

Chestnut completed the design of a new female character we will meet in 0.7 (see it in this spoiler post). Additionally, she worked on three new backgrounds and started the artwork of a cutscene.

Pistachio:

My work last week mostly involved the 0.7's introductory event. This event is not the most complicated one we have done, but it has its own challenges since many characters play a role in it. Four of those characters are newly introduced in 0.7, and writing their dialogues and coming up with their voices and personalities takes some time (and trial and error). I spent one day, for example, heavily editing and rewriting the new dialogues to get it right, and although I'm close, it needs more work (2-3 more days). I also coded some of the new backgrounds with placeholders and sketches.

What's next:

Next week, Chestnut will continue working on sprites and may start with some cutscenes that happen early on in Gomira's first quest.

I plan to spend all my time writing, finishing the introductory event, and going for the earlier dialogues from the first quest as well.

Have a great great weekend.

Cheers
