v.06 Progress Log

Progress Log -

Development on v.06 is underway! The move was a success, I completed the majority of things that Zakko needed from me, and I've been back at work full-time on the update this past week - and made some pretty good progress!

The writing section is done, which to be fair Moth completed Brenda's scripts months ago but I also got Leslie's done so scripts are a wrap!

Coding is mostly done, there's not a ton to do in Pre-Production, mostly me figuring some new things out for the update - should be wrapped in another day or so.

Art encompasses all the new stuff involved with the update, and I'm burning through it! I'm realizing that for the most part it felt like the first x.5 update didn't require a ton of new stuff, since we were dealing with the family and most of their look and feel is already established, but for .05 and now .06 it feels like I need a ton of stuff for them! I've been making a bunch of new maps, some items, and new character sprites this week, I have a couple left but will be working to complete the new bust art for everyone involved this coming week, and should be able to jump into actual Production next week.

Speaking of Production, I'm gonna try something different this time and see if it speeds up my workflow at all. How I usually work is I do one event at a time and rotate tasks  - coding, animation, then art. This time I'm going to do everything in one go - all the coding, then all the animations, then all the art. My hope is that by not switching tasks as often it'll speed me up a little, but who knows.
