Warning ! Don't open and scroll on these posts if you want to keep the surprise for the final Chapter 3 release.

Today I finally put an end to the sidequests! From now on, I have very little to do in terms of game mechanics, most of what's left is graphic work.

As I had a crash last week, I started by playtesting what I already had to make sure there was no bug or missing files.

The Swimming competition give me some hard time, I choose to do a simple mechanics where you have to remember some spots before the contest begin.

The goal is to get as many good spots as possible. The contest is timed to 30 seconds, it's pretty easy if you take the time to check the good spots before.

After that and polishing a bit the first quest, I work on the last sidequest.

In this one, the player have to find three kids who play hide and seek and bring them back to their mother.

Again, it's relatively easy, I tried to make the sidequest pretty chill, I don't want them to feel punitive.

I ended the day by working on a Slot machine mechanic for the casino. Basically, you can win or loose tokens by playing and you can also obtain tokens by doing the sidequests.

That was a good day of work! I think I'll have the Slot machine mechanic done for next week. It's time to focus on the last graphic elements for the chapter.

There's still 4 or 5 illustrations to do and a big playtest of the chapter but we're getting closer, finally!
