Hello again. I have been working on the game's checklist, you can read down below:

Checklist before v0.01 release

[x]- Not finished [V]- Finished [I-P]- In progress

[x] At least FIVE minutes of gameplay available of fast play

[x] Try to get the text to work properly (Not too important right now)

[x] Have music working

[x] Create (New) Lyndsay walking animations

[V] Have an intro sequence (Doesn't have to be final, at least enough to tell the basic story)

[V] Implement the city (At least one explorable street with things of importance)

[V] Implement the school (At least one exterior room, one hallway, one bathroom, and [possibly] one classroom)

[I-P] Implement Lyndsay's house (At least her room, hallway, and [possibly] living room)

[x] Get debug menu to display properly in the school area and other areas that are bigger than 640x480

[x] Get the school bathroom completely functional

[V] Implement new loading screen

[x] Make sure there are no soft-lock states present

[x] Get objective UI to work and display properly

[x] Make sure all music and sounds are mastered

[x] Get rm_disclaimer, rm_inassociation, and rm_heaphones to be all one room, instead of separate rooms

[x] Try to optimize the game, removing unneeded sprites for now, and making memory usage smaller

[I-P] Implement the arcade racing game [More on this below]

[x] Rename and re-sort all files in the project to make things easier and more organized

[x] Optimize maps by creating tilesets or screenshots of the rooms, with collision added to save on memory

Now, about that new mode. I am going to be adding a little game mode so you don't get too bored by this first release. It's going to be pretty short (hopefully around 5 minutes) so I wanted to add a little score based minigame in the game just for something fun to do. It is going to be a racing game where you see how long you can drive while getting the highest score. This game mode is a free template in the Game Maker engine for learning how to program games, so I thought I could include it until I make a proper one.

This is all I have for now! I'll be back with an update eventually!
