Dev Diary, January 5th, 2024, and Happy New Year!

Hi everyone, and Happy New Year to you all.

I took a few days off during the holidays, but nothing major. Most of the days I did at least something on the game.

Work done.

Mostly, what I've done is work on the script, in-game events, new and improved UI elements, and so forth. Accompanied with doing extra renders where needed.

Work to be done.

I have a full bullet list of small things to do, in addition to rendering 6 full small to medium scenes. I'd like to add a little shower scene with Celeste also, if nothing else just for the eye candy. However, that depends a bit on any unexpected problems arising.

Getting there.

So, today marks two weeks until beta testing begins, so it's 14 days of overtime at least. Followed by 7 days of beta-testing and corrections to bugs and typos they find, and the actual release weekend which is plenty stressful in itself. These last weeks are always extra work-loaded, but it's good fun too.

Looking very much forward to showing you the fruits of my labor, and the result of what you've been supporting.

So with that, have a nice weekend. And yeah... we're getting there.
