⟡ project C: may log
this month went by in A Blink. and was a lot. but I objectively got a lot of progress done
first of all I managed to finish the little pre-demo thing i was making to get some initial feedback from trusted friends, encompassing day 1. it feels like an achievement! and honestly, building this up made me create what i feel is a solid base to move on from. Ive got a little SFX library, quite a lot of sprites, etc. so I think going forward programming will be smoother even though Im far from done with any of it
Ive also already gotten some extremely valuable feedback and there probably will be more. yay!
something that this pre-demo also allowed me to do is actually try out the process of creating a downloadable build that other people can play. it was much easier than I thought, but there's also more to it than I thought, all very manageable tho. for funsies I also made this little app icon for the game with my mouse because i thought it was funny, but im pretty sure it didnt actually show up in the files yet because of some windows image file shenanigans ... we'll deal with that later
I also got around 1/2 of the second background done, so currently it has lineart with flat colors, tho the colors might change. honestly though, with how I rendered the other background and how i do rendering in general these days a lot of it is stuck behind how that will actually turn out lol. itll be a pain in the ass but I feel that i have to match the effort i put in the first. I think ill have to figure out something easier for all the illustrations Im planning though because oofff...
my focus going forward is to probably focus on art assets while chipping away at code. chipping away at code comes with editing the script as I go, day 1 got quite a lot of changes up until I compiled it lol, and i already have some line edits i want to make for that too. at one point Ill also have to probably do another editing round in general bc i (not a native eng speaker even though Im C2 and fluent) got some valuable feedback from a friend (native eng speaker) and i fully believe that i can easily fall into strange wording/sentence structure at times. sometimes I feel it happening, but often im sure i cant tell when i do that lol
anyway! lots of work done but lots to do! as I finished my day 1 pre-demo i took a little break and i'll probably finish another drawing before getting back into coffee shop things. june is also not any Less busy for me this year with holidays and family events colliding so :,) we stay silly but I aspire to finish this game because it would be kind of cool and ive come this far already
