I've made all of the rooms, and I'm now working on the sprites. Today I refined the front-facing pose for Crepe, and then made all of the other poses that I use throughout the game. So unless I decide to refine her a bit more, she's essentially complete.
Next up
Made the sprites for the Landlord, Farmer, and Drunk.
I think they could use a bit more improvement before I make the few animations that they have. I also still have two more characters to draw out.
I think I'll slow down and take it a bit easier though.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Steam store page for Rowen's Grand Adventure is now live!

Give it a visit and add it to your wishlist.
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 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.
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.
