Progress report Loki Game Nr 4 - 2021 09 20

Here's the fourth week progress report ^^

We're still on schedule with the development!
Cres finished two CG scenes this week (both with goblins) and drew the goblins for the combat CGs.

I  also sorted out most of the stuff I mentioned in the last post, with  having a rough plan for the project and having all of the CG scenes and  "themes" of them pinned down.
Also the SFX editing is... hopefully done?
(I just decided to work with what I have right now, should be "good enough")

So only the mapping part is in my way.
The  rest should be "smooth sailing", especially considering that the  programming has already been 90% completed by me by the time we started  this.
(I copied my code from "Taihou Prototype" which was already  complete and did exactly the thing I needed, it's also bug free so  that's that, no reason to not use it)

Cres arm is btw well again, no problems there.
(last  week she bumped her wrist, but as I said, it wasn't anything major and  it healed off during our "weekend" when we were driving around to  appointments)

With "how good things are going", as well as  exhaustion slowly setting in after 4 weeks of working ~6 days (whenever  we could) per week and spending our free days mostly driving around in  the car for the entire day to go to appointments (housebuilding related  mostly) we think it's best to go back to a 5 workdays schedule to not  tire out for the final stretch.

We're past the 50% work done  mark on the art department, and reaching this milestone during the  fourth work week is exactly what we needed.
Note that this does NOT mean that the game is 50% done.
Only the art.
The  implementation of the art (obviously only possible after the art has  been made!) still needs to be done, which includes the writing for the  scenes that I haven't gotten to yet.

At this point, I'm more worried about my own "progress" on the project.
Given  that I basically finished programming and (makeshift) planning and  editing of voicework, while being in the middle of mapping.
With the  current biggest hurdles being mapping (since I have 0 experience here)  and writing of CG scenes (oh boy lol... but I'll cook something up, no  worries! dialogue mostly though, it's the best I can do).

Bottom line, I'm sure we can pull it off in time, everything is looking good so far ^^

For  next week, I plan to assign a commission to Cres, as well as having her  draw the remaining speedpaint on Saturday, so I get her "off my  shoulders" or how you call it.
By that I mean, if she draws something I do not need to direct or "check on" etc. then I can focus on my work.
(yes, being interrupted while concentrating sucks haha)

So expect a probably slightly slower output by the end of this week.
But no worries, we're still on schedule!
The  art on this project is calculated with taking 2-3 months to be done,  and it looks like Cres will beat the 2 months mark still.
So all good.

As always, enjoy the art previews!
Some of it blurred to keep some surprises for you guys.

That being said, see ya all next week! ^^
