As part of making this game, I have to do a lot of animation without a lot of drawing, if you can believe such a thing is possible.

For one of the opening shots, I'd like Pinafore to clean up this photo on the wall, then see her reflection.

He's coming back. ...but just this once.

As part of the process, I learned that my new dialogue-scrolling system isn't perfect. It's possible to break it if you can push the button faster than humanly possible.

I guess I'd better dig out the Turbo controller for further testing.

First, I hand-draw it and ink it with a felt-tip pen. Then I scan it, making an HD image. Then I save it as a 16-color BMP, then clean it up and crop it. Then I add color and transparency effects.

For games, I shrink the HD version for the game's window.

Again, this is more Sierra-styled than Sega CD-styled, but it gets the point across.

It doesn't help that the small-sprite BAC-PAC doesn't exactly pop from this kind of background.

Besides that, I'm making progress.

Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.

...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

Coming soon to another update.

Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.

Well, this might give you an idea of the kind of scope my cutscenes will go.

I probably should hire voice actors, but I think I'd rather do what I can without money first.

A rather interesting thing I forgot about...
