Weekly report 105
Added 2022-05-13 21:42:27 +0000 UTCHi everybody.
I hope you've all had a great week. We've been very busy trying to get as much work done as possible, and here's a summary of what we've done:
Chestnut:
She's been finishing a lot of cutscenes and uploading them for me to add them to the game. There are all sorts of artworks here, bigger cutscenes and smaller variations, and it's great to see them in the game -- it's incredible how scenes that I'm not sure about improve immensely and suddenly 'work' once the final artworks are added.
Pistachio:
I've been endeavoring to catch up with all the cutscenes that are getting completed while at the same time testing and editing Rose's second quest. Sometimes the cutscenes are exactly as we had planned them earlier, but more often, there are differences between the planned and the final versions that necessitate minor edits to the text to take advantage of the art (there are also instances when I just like the image a lot and add several lines of text to make it stay longer on the screen).
What's next
I have been polishing the first half of the update, and although Chestnut has played it several times, enough has changed that a replay and retesting by her is again necessary. So I will prepare that for the weekend. Additionally, I plan to keep working on Rose's second quest and see if I can finish major improvements by the next report. As for Chestnut, she will continue her work on Rose's second quest and send me any artwork she finishes.
That's all.
Have a great great weekend!
Cheers
P.S. before publishing this report, I did a word count with the main text of 0.6 (not counting the convos or the "thinks"), and the main file sits at 44k words (0.5 was 40k). That's waaaay more than I thought it would be, and I think the constant rewrites and reposing have contributed to that. I would hate to overpromise, so I've got to say that I think the 0.6 update will have slightly less content than 0.5 (it's hard to say with certainty now because it has a completely different structure, and it's still under development). This amounts to the need to spend a day or two later going through everything and trimming the fluff.
