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.
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.
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.

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.
Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!
Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob 
) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

I gave the fonts another pass, made and implemented an animation for the scarecrow, and started working on making the characters actually sit down on that sofa in the intro.
I still have another two characters I need to draw sitting down though.
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.
Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.
This week I finished off the introduction, the animations for the endings, and started going over all of the backgrounds and improving them, having just finished the basement as a result of that.
Lastly, I finally added the game over screen.
