The polishing phase continues apace. It's taking a lot longer than I expected, but I should "hopefully" be out of the pre-alpha stage sometime next week and into the alpha stage.

This week has been all about improving the artwork for the rooms. I've been adding objects, shadows, and foregrounds, among other things.

The game looks way prettier now.

​This week I fixed a few minor problems, such as missing sound effects and animations. I also improved art taken from the last game, to make it more consistent.

I added an extra step to one of the puzzles, and I've also been working on an easter egg.

This week I spent all of my time coding in responses for everything I drew in the rooms last week.

Those are responses for left and right clicking, and using an item.

I also made a credit sequence, to give the game a bit of extra flair at the beginning.

I've been working on the smaller stuff this week, such as bugs and missing art.

Next week I plan on brushing up the menus and GUI elements, and finally make some icons for the game. Then it's testing time.

I've updated the game pages and uploaded a trailer announcing my game's release date.

My brother put the trailer together, and I think he did a brilliant job at it.

The release date by the way is the 28th of November.

I've done quite a bit since my last update.

Finished the character sprites, room objects, game logo, and my brother's nearly finished with the inventory items.

Next I need to edit the menu sprites, fix inventory icons, improve backgrounds, and beta test.

I've been finishing off the objects in the rooms. There's only two objects left to do now, as well as the game's logo.

After that I've got to sort out the menu icons and the inventory icons.

I plan to take the weekend off though, so I'll do them later.

​This week I finished spellchecking the script, and I'm now alpha testing.

I've fixed a few minor problems already, a missing hint here, a bigger clickable area there. I also added an additional puzzle.

Next week is the beta testing phase.

I made the remaining characters, and made most of the missing objects in the Manor. I also improved the painting in the Manor.

Tomorrow I plan to make the open versions of the drawer, cabinets, and fridge for the kitchen.
