Hey guys, it's middle of the month and I had some more free time today so I'm gonna give you a little breakdown on how things are going.
First I'm doing decent progress with the programming around of 1/3 of the events are fully functional and just need some tweaks for the sound effects and typo checks (which will be done during playtesting phase).
The coding is taking longer than expected because... well, I kinda suck at it, I spent so much time doing art studies that I thought programming would be as easy (it was not).
I'm thinking asking to friend to help me with this since, honestly, it is a huge waste of time doing this by myself; I'm not particulary good at coding and unlike writing and drawing, I don't enjoy it that much. So I'd rather have help in these parts where it's less noticeable if I don't do them myself than try to learn it.
That being said, I'll still work on it myself until I get someone for it. I just wanted to point out that right now, the progress it's being held back by my lack of programming proficency rather than anything else.
Other than that everything's been going smoothly, as in: I got my friends ready to playtest as soon as the thing is ready, the pixel art/tilesets are done, and even if Alice's VA got sick, it's nothing that would delay playtesting.
I'll try to get my friend to help me with this, since fun fact: he also works on a RPGM game, and he's been helping out with all the cool Javascript needed to make the game look as cool as in the previews! But even if that doesn't go well, I'll get the project sent to my friends for playtesting this month, after that it all depends if what's needed it's typos or some major fixes.
Also worth noting that some compatibility issues with the text have been fixed already, so now you can change the font in case the more "magical" font is hard to read (I'm sorry about that, I thought it looked cool and built a lot around it without checking for problems first).
I think that's the most importarting things so far, I'll make another post later this month with more progress, I'll make a juicy offer to my game dev friend so we can have an actual programmer for MaM...
