I've done all sorts this week, including giving the backgrounds another pass, adding interactivity to the rooms, making inventory icons, and working on yet more animations.
It's awesome to be able to play the game and not see a bunch of placeholder art.
Next up
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
