Hello everyone, how is the end of October going for you? Personally, I'm doing good, albeit a bit swamped in work. Release is getting closer, and I'm here wondering if I'll make it in time.
So, as I stated in the last PoL, Lily's quest is more or less done, I'm just waiting on the last sprites from the artists for her last scene. I've managed to do a good bit of work, and I've got the beginning of her quest entirely done and tested, her first scene is finished (with placeholders), I've made the maps where the middle and last part of the quest will take place, and I was doing the extra scene right before writing this PoL. All in all, pretty satisfied.
Now, in spite of everything, I'm in a tough spot, and I'm not sure if I'll manage to finish everything by the initially planned release day on the 8.11.
There are two main reasons for that:
1) I wanted to add a good amount of content to make up for the lack of update in September, but I wildy underestimated the time it would take. In total, there will be about 5 scenes (+1 extra), a lot of extra maps, 1 Triple Trident player, etc... and I don't want to compromise on the quality simply to meet the deadline.
2) Since there's more content, there's more sprites to commission, and one of the artists got busy with another big project and couldn't complete any of them. The two remaining ones have worked hard but they've also been busy with stuff and it took more time to complete what I sent them, so we're quite behind on schedule for that. Lily's last scene still doesn't have all its sprites, and I still have Haylen's 2 scenes and the extra one to commission in under 10 days. I've been looking for another artist since a few days ago, but I'm still waiting for their reply.
So, here we are. Maybe all's going to go fine and I'll make it for the 8th, but there's a probability I might need a few days more to finish up the job and/or to wait for all the sprites to be done. I feel like all I'm doing lately is to apologize for the delays, but, well, I'm sorry about that. I just wanted to let you know.
That's it for this PoL! I'll see y'all next Monday as usual.
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!

PS: Someone asked me to show the placeholders stick figures I use in scenes while waiting for the final sprites to be done, so I added an image from the current extra scene. I know it's hot, but please contain your orgasms.
