Hey everyone. As you can see above, I some progress on the dialogue workings despite all of the procrastination I was fighting today. As good as it looks now, there is a fatal flaw that can't be seen in the above demonstration in that I can't find a way to make selections in text go backward with my current system. I'll have to spend tomorrow fixing that probably with the same method I use with the pause menus. In addition to that, I'll start working on updating the graphics for the menus. Since the inner systems I spent so long working on aren't dependent on the layout or any other aspects of the current design, all I should need to do is update the graphics themselves and the menu should work fine.
I'm at day 10 of my 30 day goal for the first demo. So far, it's still pretty early to tell whether or not I'll make it. If I update all of the graphics tomorrow, that will leave me 18 days to dedicate to the spanking mini game alone. I doubt it'll take that long, and unless I'm forgetting something critical I should make the deadline with time to spare.
