Helllooo~ooo! Time for this week's devlog! It might be a little short this week. LoL!

This Week's Summary:

• Nearly halfway done with sprite expressions

The Ramble:

That's it. That's the ramble. LoL

I coded sprite expressions all week - and I'm close to halfway through the route at this point.

I am also doing some editing as I go. I always do. Expressions require me to go through the script line by line so I inevitably find some typos are redundancy or other issues. So there's always a little bit of editing as I go along.

Usually just some minor bits.

I also went back and edited Reuben's initial scene in the common route. Again, nothing major, but I should have done this a while ago. There were some minor incongruities with the rest of the game lore (no out-right contradictions, just things that didn't quite make sense in the context of the rest of the game).

There was one small section about adult Esper legislation that I felt was needed when it didn't get addressed anywhere else in the game, but felt redundant after they went into major detail about it in his route.

Stuff like that.

I've also done some tweaking of backgrounds and adding of effects as I go along as well.

But otherwise, all I've done is sprite expression stuff.

Sneak Peeks:

Upcoming Week:

Sprite expressions! I hope to finish them up this week, but we'll see. I give myself frequent tension headaches when coding sprite expressions because it's repetitive, dull, and I unconsciously keep my face completely scrunched up like:

So I have to take frequent breaks from it and rest until the headache recedes. 😩

I'll keep at it this upcoming week and try to get through the rest of the route if possible though. After expressions are done, I will probably finish up all the sprite art as my next big focus!

That is all for now! See you next week!
