Topic 1 - LORE: You can now find all the research notes all about the wisps written by people before you. These notes are not required and can be skipped over completely, but I figured it'd be a nice touch. You can learn about how the wisps work, their society, and even their language! (I will have discoverable things be written in this language as well)
Topic 2 - Side Quest # 1: I added a side quest where you can get rewards from an NPC for hitting specific milestones of found wisps. I'm still debating on what exactly the rewards should be, but I'm considering making them items that can help you find other wisps.
Topic 3 - Side Quest # 2: I've personally grown to love this side quest more than the other because of who you talk to for this quest. This is the side quest mentioned in the casino update. This side quest is repeatable and actually has an active effect. You can be paid to clean the rooms of the inn run by an elderly couple. Also, the more you do this the more guests will check in, so you're helping out the couple at the same time.
I'm thinking of adding some more side quests and other details to the current ones, but I hope y'all look forward to exploring these new details!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Here's a small group of updates:
Next up
A quick clip showing the process of making the entry pictures for the wisps (sped-up from 30 minutes)
The maps are all done, and the game will be done soon. All that's left is coding the events, the ending cards, getting the sound effects and implementing them.
I've almost completely finished all of the sprites that I needed to custom make! Honestly it was the category I was expecting to take the longest of all the resource parts. It definitely took the most focus, but here we are!
A lot of the ending pictures have gotten lined out with some done, as well as major creature sprites, like the rooms it's currently not enough to show a huge jump on the progress sheet but there should be some soon!
I HAVE ONE OF THE LORE SPOTS BUILT WITH THEIR LANGUAGE! I swear it won't look like that in game, this is just showing the work. At first I hated that the letters didn't look as good if I kept them level, but the uneven-ness gives it a cute look i think
The entries are done! I've started doing the paper designs for the rest of them and that's going pretty fast too! I'll definitely be dropping off for a bit though. Something big is coming up that I want to focus on, so I'll be back after that
All of the wisps are drawn out for their page graphics! I'll work on the sprites next, then the extra details not on the page, so after the next update following updates may be slow. I'm admittedly not sure I'm ready to be done with my favorite project...
So the medical stuff was/is more complicated than I was expecting, but things are pretty well at the end. I'm mainly just adding the last bits of polish and code
AND AFTER A VERY INTERESTING MONTH THE OTHER WISP LORE SPOT IS DONE! Sorry about the long wait, I moved jobs, got covid, some big bills, but this was the worst of it! Progress is back!
The wisps are all finally designed on paper, which was honestly the hardest block for me so far. I'll try to work on the extra details that aren't on the progress sheet in between working on the graphics and sprites.
