Saturday Update!

Hello hello! It's time for updates! That week really flew by eh?

I had a pretty good week in terms of production! [ Actually, I had a good week in general. Feeling very moisturized, unbothered, and in my lane ] I've finally finished doing the placeholders for a part that was a little.... more difficult for me to work on. As much as I feel it suits the story, I actually don't like getting into an angry/sadistic headspace for art myself 😂

Anyway, here's the current progress bar:

[ If you're wondering how I got a number as specific as '72%', I started counting the lines of code that are equipped with placeholders versus the full number of code lines for Night 3 ]

The number of placeholders is really ballooning now 😅 These later sections of the game involve more unique positions [ MC is not always tied to the pole ] and situations, so I need to draw a lot of new stuff. I also don't often get to reuse placeholders or even expressions, because the story tends to move quick and change fast during these endings/plot chunks.

Still, I don't regret my decisions. It may take a bit longer, but I knew from the beginning that this project would be about stretching my artistic limits, not trying to sell a game as fast as possible. As long as I keep putting in effort every work day, It'll get finished.

Let's see what I can show you that isn't horrifically spoilery, in no particular order...

I also managed to fix a minor visual bug in the UI [ sanity and HP bars playing an animation inappropriately whenever a file is loaded ] that's been bothering me for months LMAO so that felt pretty good :D

I still have a fair amount of the monstrous Night 3 to go, but I think I'm making pretty good progress on it. It's a bit funny that there's SO MUCH content in it- it's actually incredibly easy to miss all of it. I think most players probably will for the first couple of playthroughs LMAO

But for now, the long night continues! 

See you all next week! Stay safe and have a great weekend! ^o^
