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.
Next up
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.
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.
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.
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 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'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 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.
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.
The Steam store page for Rowen's Grand Adventure is now live!

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