THE WISPS HAVE A LANGUAGE!
This took forever since originally I was going to try to make it into an actual font, and just import that into the game, but after MONTHS of on and off attempts at this I gave up and am now just drawing the words into the text box manually. It'll take much longer than my original plan but it'll be a lot easier.
You won't be able to talk to every single wisp (in reality it'll only be two) but some will talk for lore purposes. You'll be able to find what is essentially a "cheat sheet" to translate their speech. There wont be any spaces in between the words, but words won't be cut off by the end of the line, so the end of a line will definitely be the end of the word.
Example:
wouldnt happen:
ifoundthisweirdfirecreatureanditkeepstealingalltheshinyrocksf
rommyyard.
would happen:
ifoundthisweirdfirecreatureanditkeepstealingalltheshinyrocks
frommyyard.
Next up
I've was able to get a lot of the rooms fully finished! A lot more are soon to be done too
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
The ending cards aren't fully polished enough for the bar but I did make some good progress on creatures and the spider room entirely!
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!
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.
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...
All the sprites that I needed to hand sprite are now done! I'l be honest I was expecting those to take the longest, but here we are!
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
Basically all the maps are finished! So that's a decent part of the game done! The most tedious part anyway.
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.
