Hi guys! Baku here with a new devlog.
This week I ulted hard and finally finished my work on all the minigames. I assigned tasks to the programmer and wrote up the technical specifications. Next up, there’s a lot of work to do on drawing the new items (which, incidentally, I’m really looking forward to) and translating the remainder of the reworked script. I’ll have to go out of town next week, but I’ll keep working while I’m away, so progress on the rework will continue apace.
The programmer has already implemented the entire first chapter and part of the second in the game’s code. He immediately started adding in voice acting, sprites, and quests, so everything is going according to plan. True, in the process of doing this, we’ve noticed that the introduction has now roughly doubled in length and free movement doesn’t become available right away, but players definitely won’t be getting lost or feeling unsure of what to do next. If need be, we’ll make adjustments later once we’ve had a chance to see how it looks live.
From the background artist:
Added a crowd in a new background CG
Added two new poses for Tifa in her room
In progress — two plot figures and items
Only 3 art pieces left for the prologue! The most difficult work is now behind us, so we’ll be finishing up with it shortly
Meanwhile, the background art for an important scene in Chapter 8 is being drawn. As soon as we finish it, we’ll start working on the remaining locations missing background art. Oh, and here’s a bonus: the animator has nearly finished animating Iden’s scene.
Looks like that’s all for this week. See you in the next devlog!
