Next up
Well I can safely say that I won't be making that deadline I had set for myself.
That being said, the backgrounds are really starting to come along. You gotta love good old Deluxe Paint.
The polishing phase continues.
I've been fixing more than just simple bugs though. I've also been putting hints into places where someone might try a solution, correcting artwork or adding something to it, and just generally polishing everything up.
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.
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.
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.
The Steam store page for Rowen's Grand Adventure is now live!

Give it a visit and add it to your wishlist.
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 made these backgrounds and the new Crepe sprite in a bit of a rush. Because I want to get it all done as quickly as possible. I will be refining all of the artwork once it's done. Adding shading and dithering and such.
I made new sprites for the menus, made a new icon for the game, and began sorting out the coordinates of everything in the game. The field and the map are done in that regard.
I'm hoping to sort out the music later today.
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.
