Made and implemented the music, sorted out the coordinates of everything, implemented the inventory icons (had to make a few my brother didn't make yet, also I altered a few here and there).
The game now needs a good playtesting.
Next up
I've made all of the rooms, and I'm now working on the sprites. Today I refined the front-facing pose for Crepe, and then made all of the other poses that I use throughout the game. So unless I decide to refine her a bit more, she's essentially complete.
The Steam store page for Rowen's Grand Adventure is now live!

Give it a visit and add it to your wishlist.
I made new sprites for the menus, made a new icon for the game, and began sorting out the coordinates of everything in the game. The field and the map are done in that regard.
I'm hoping to sort out the music later today.
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.
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.
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 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.
I'm continuing to make good progress. I've only got one room left to make, the shop. Also, arj0n fixed the perspective in my kitchen, so I'll be using that. I plan to add dithering to the backgrounds. But I'm going to leave that until last.
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.
