"Final Exam" Game Devlog

Time for another devlog post.
Last time I wrote that I didn't like the image of the flying enemy girl after it was redrawn using the new model. It seemed to me that this girl would be better with wings rather than lightning bolts under her feet. So I drew her wings. Along with that, I rewrote her behavior code a bit, making it simpler. Seemed to work well.
The wing animation turned out to be quite difficult, and it took me most of my time this week to create it.
The rest of my time was spent creating the images of the girls placed in the background of the locations.
I drew the girls from scratch, and the process of creating the images took a lot of time. Therefore, I have not, for now, started creating girls for every location. Perhaps in the final version of the game I will be able to create a separate girl for each location. Also, in the future, I will think about whether I should apply some visual processing methods to these girls to improve their appearance.
Right now, I've only had time to create two girls. I think that will be enough for the demo.
And, in fact, it would be possible to publish the demo already now. However, I want the demo to be close to perfect.
Right now, looking at the main menu buttons, I realize that it was a bad idea to change the scale of the active button. I realize that it doesn't look pretty. I think it would be better to highlight the active buttons in color. That's what I'm going to realize next week. Yes, I will have to change the code a bit, and I hope my efforts will pay off.
The working build of the game has been updated. It's available for paid subscribers. See the link in the pinned post for patrons on the main page.
