Hey there, sorry for skipping the last progress report. I was still exhausted from the holidays and as I was finishing the post, Patreon decided to bug out and turn all white.. Had to refresh the page to fix it and of course that deleted everything I had written. I was too tired and angry to write it all up again and decided to do it at a later date.. That date never came though.. Sorry for that =< (Typing this up in Google Docs now so I won’t run into this issue ever again)

Anyway, Happy belated holidays! I hope everyone had a pleasant time, be it with family, friends or just holed up behind your pc (I wish I did that T.T). My holidays were pretty busy and left me dead for about a week, full recovery took longer but at least I could function a bit again :P. Social events suck T.T

So, what got done? Not too much I’m afraid, I’ve been exhausted for most of this time. I did finish BadSpider’s tool though, well, mostly. I still want to add support for multiple dependencies but I’ve been too tired and distracted to get to it (as it’s not really that important for now). Be sure to check out his page though as he added a new girl to it =3

Speaking of distractions, before the holidays hit me, I started work on Camp Pinewood, to keep myself busy while I wait for Newman’s schedule to clear up a bit. Nothing official, haven’t even spoken to the developer, but I remember playing the first or second build and thinking it was alright. But whenever I check up on the game all I see is people complaining about how broken it is so I thought, well, I kinda wanna play this at some point so I might as well fix it xD. So far I’ve fixed rollback, a menu option for a girl that showed the wrong image, redid all the menus for the girl and restructured a bunch of other code so it doesn’t make me cry anymore when I see it xD. Next up is playing through it to see what quests are broken.

The scene positioning tool has also been pretty much finished.. I just need to add an import button and for it to stop being a total bimbo. It has 2 bugs atm that make no sense and I have no clue how to fix. The aren’t THAT big of an issue, but they make no sense and they’re still rather annoying. The first one has all undragged images move when you move an undragged image with wasd.. BUT ONLY IF IT HASN’T BEEN DRAGGED YET! If you drag it, all is fine.. The second one.. If you’ve moved an image and click on another 2 move, everything moves 1px and then when you move an image, it will all jump back again.. I have NO clue why it does this or how this can even happen.. But it’s there and it makes me go insane =<

I haven’t done too much work on Scooby this time round though. The new animation has some annoying bits and they would be a lot easier with the scene positioning tool so I prioritized that instead. But with that finished(ish) I can start work on that now. Newman also finished touching some page of dialog which I’ll jump on after I finish the animation. Shouldn’t take too long though as the conversion script does most of the work =3.

What’s next?

Scooby

• Finishing the animation
• Adding more dialog

Tools

• Eradicate them pesky bugs

Misc

• Go through and fix Camp Pinewood
• Actually get some work done on the tutorial
•     I keep putting it off cause I want to do a good job and not misinform you guys, plus
     making a proper recording with maybe some editing is all kinda new and scary.. (I’ve
     only streamed, never edited any of them)

Let’s end it here though, I’ve been rambling on long enough now! xD

Enjoy the new decade and see you again soon!
