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.
Next up
I'm continuing to make good progress. I've only got one room left to make, the shop. Also, arj0n fixed the perspective in my kitchen, so I'll be using that. I plan to add dithering to the backgrounds. But I'm going to leave that until last.
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.
The rooms are coming along a lot quicker than I thought they would. Although I clearly messed up the scaling in the kitchen. I only have three rooms left, then it's onto the character sprites.
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 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.
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.
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.
This week I've been prepping myself for entering the polishing phase by doing up the GUI elements and making an icon for the game.
I'm very proud of how the icon came out. It took me an entire day to make it though.
Now I'm onto a cycle of test and fix.
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.
