Developer's Log - Entry 9

entry 9 - april 11, 2021

Hey, y'all. I worked on some other stuff for the past two weeks. Still a few updates:

1) VISUALS -

I started working on credits by creating a mock-up with transitions on PowerPoint. Then I made backgrounds based on the mock-ups and used Ren'Py transitions to move between them. I thought I would need to make a video, but backgrounds work just fine.

Since the usual logo is unreadable on dark backgrounds, I made the colors lighter (but only for dark backgrounds). Now there's two versions! Yay!

I checked the final parts of the story and added sprites when needed.

2) WRITING -

Added/removed a little more text for continuity.

3) AUDIO -

I coordinated the ending credits music with the fading out of the credits. This was for a more gradual transition back to the main menu screen.

TO-DO LIST:

1) Create poses/expressions for sprites
      - Event 3 - Outfits, expressions, poses
      - Event 3 - Also clean up any details before creating new sprites
      - Main character, probably
      - One of Character 2's events - Minor character - Accessories, maybe poses/expressions?
3) Fix the dancing sprite problem
4) Sound effects
      - Find, bookmark, choose, download (see physical notes and charts)
      - Edit if needed
      - Add/test
5) Music
      - Find, bookmark, choose, download (see physical notes and charts)
      - Edit if needed
      - Add/test
6) CGs
      - Edit 1 CG for outfit and color
      - Possible detail change for 1 CG
7) Credits
      - Determine which sites I used assets from
      - Then finish making official credit screens
      - Include a document with credits for all assets
8) Test build (somehow)
9) Re-draw that game icon thing
10) Check for continuity (see list of conditions I might need to add)

See you soon!
