Wow, it's been two weeks already? I guess it has.

1) VISUALS -

I finished the lineart, color, and resizing for Hayden's sprite and added him in. Adjusted some positioning for a few sprites.

2) AUDIO -

I added most music and a few necessary sound effects / ambience sounds to the bulk of the game. There were a few spots where I wasn't sure what audio to add - sometimes it felt like multiple songs fit, other times it felt like none of them fit for that particular scene. I'll be going through the trouble spots again to see what fits based on the mood and dialogue/actions going on.

I also wanted some ideas for making music more effective during gameplay; I watched a YouTube tutorial - 'Strategies to Enhance Your Visual Novel With Music' by Jeff Penny - with tips on how to enhance your VN with music/audio. It was pretty cool!

3) PROMOTIONAL -

I updated and created new promo material for fwd, including small character cards/bios/whatever they're called. Wrote a post for Lemma Soft Forums introducing fwd.

TO-DO LIST:

1) Create poses/expressions for sprite
     - One of Character 2's events - Minor character - Maybe poses/expressions?
2) Implement the dancing sprite solution
3) Sound effects
     - Find, bookmark, choose, download
     - Edit if needed
     - Add/test
4) Music
     - Choose (find others if needed)
     - Edit if needed
     - Add/test
5) Credits
     - Determine which sites I used assets from
     - Then finish making official credit screens
     - Include a document with credits for all assets
6) Test build (somehow)
7) Check for continuity (see list of conditions I might need to add)

See you soon! Have a great day. :D
