Dev Diary, October 4th, 2024
Added 2024-10-04 12:00:14 +0000 UTCTo start with the positives, I finished a scene that is a bit different visually than static images alone. I wanted the scene to feel more alive and thus had to make a moving background. It turned out to be easier than I had suspected, but took a bit of time making the visuals.
I also experimented with some of the new features of the latest version of Renpy, which will be very useful going forward.
In the comments last week, someone mentioned wanting to hide the new 'mood-meter, ' so I added a choice to hide it in the preferences section. I also did this for other 'help' screens in the game.
On the negative side, I had plenty of distractions this week. As I've mentioned before, I'm making a new road up to the house, which has been going on for nine weeks now. But since it's nearing completion, I've had a lot of meetings with the Entrepreneurs to decide on the finishing touches.
In addition to this, one of my exes had a kidney failure, which almost ended very badly. And since she's also the mother of my children, it took a bit of attention. Lastly, my son had a birthday, which soaked up a day too.
But I'll put in some extra hours next week and hopefully catch up to where I wanted to be progress-wise.
Not much else to add for now. But as always, have a lovely weekend, stay safe out there, and once again, thank you very much for the support!
