News on the coding and writing side:
This week was a bit tough, I got my eyes opened on how may typos there were still in the game, even after several rounds of spell-checking and testing. But thanks to a couple of supportive testers I found a way to run spell-checking on MS Word without being afraid to ruin the code. In retrospect, this was so simple that I feel dumb to not doing it before. Live and learn. Anyway, with several hundreds (yes, hundreds) typos fixed, I had to also redo a lot of translation code, so that took a lot of my time this week. But at least the writing should be much smoother now.
But I did manage to find time to continue working of the "earning and spending" system in the game. Specifically by implementing the first part time job "Helping at Raven's Wing pub". This job also introduces one of the alternative dating candidates, pub's proprietor - Hope. And the introduction even also teases a "soon to arrive" main cast member - Ciara.
On the art side:
Work continues on the sprites for Elizabeth, Hope and Ciara. But there is very little new that we can show you yet. Probably something to look forward to in the next week's update.
And some new placeholder backgrounds are coming along nicely too. We will probably be able to fill most of the holes in a couple more weeks. Then it will be time to actually turning them into their final form.
Well, that's it for this week,
See ya
