09/09/2023 Patreon Devlog (GS)

Hallooo~oooo! Time for the GS devlog for this week!

This Week's Summary:

• Some artbook work
• Made a bunch of corrections
• Beta testing continues

The Ramble:

So beta testing continues for Yuu's route. I think now testers are focusing on making sure the flowchart fully unlocks and that the CGs with Morgan all work properly with all the customisation variations rather than focusing as much on the text and any errors there.

I corrected about 20 pages of typos. Which I know sounds like a lot. But in the end there are repeats since multiple people will find the typo, of course.

And there's a lot of content so there are a lot of small errors. A lot of them are things like extra commas or a missing period - or inconsistent capitalisation ("day side" in one place and "Day Side" in another).

But, of course, there are some bigger errors that have been found as well. A naked sprite, a sprite with no eyes, Yuu's ending screen not accessible, broken wiki links, etc.

Polishing continues basically. That's the important part!

I did a little bit on the art book but honestly this week turned weird starting on Wednesday so it's been kind of a not-great week in terms of real life things.

Like finding a layer of water in the kitchen due to a leaking pipe and such.

But life is like that sometimes.

Sneak Peeks:

None this week!

Upcoming Week:

Waiting for more corrections to come in and maybe trying to finish up with the art book. The art book is really close to being done so it would be nice to have it in a "rough draft" state, then go through and check everything so it's ready to go.

But we'll see!

GS is a bit in limbo as it gets beta tested. I may join in testing customisation variations this week as well just to help with that part since it's tedious. And I have a couple of other small things to do and test so...yeah. That'll be my week for Gilded Shadows.
