Latest batch of work on the Hive !

This time I focused on integration of dialogue lines and code. Starting with additional flavor text for some items that didn't have any, like the posters in June's room. I also redesigned the posters.

After talking with Maddie, it's time for June to have breakfast. This is the occasion for a long scene in the kitchen with all the other characters.

Most of the work was concentrated on the structure needed to navigate between the different backgrounds and Ms.Sato's dialog tree.

The player can move freely from one screen to another using the arrows. For now, it's still in the testing phase. But the kitchen screen is finished, with all the clickable elements and the flavor text.

Another big chunk was the dialogue tree with Ms.Sato that would appear once the player spoke to her for the first time.

This is what the dialog tree looks like in general. I've discovered what are called "lists" in Renpy, which I can use to erase one topic from the topic list once it's been talked about.

Next week, I plan to work more on screen navigation and character interactions.
