September 24: Weekly Update

Added 2023-09-24 23:35:44 +0000 UTC

Hello all!

For this weeks update, here's what I've gotten done:

Scene Dialogue and variables:

- Chapter introduction! This part was a bit of a story-dump, however I took measures to include the option to skip over these things for players who aren't interested at all. I did want to have some internal consistency in the game though, so I took steps to have skipping dialogue as something that a character might reference down the line, just for immersion purposes!
- Asmodeus character introduction (similar to Chapter 1, when you first speak to a character once the option to select them is available); I am hoping to get her h-scenes sorted tonight as well. The most time consuming thing is making sure the variables aren't flagging properly (which incidentally was something that occurred with Cheryl and Naomi last chapter I believe - this has been fixed and will be included in this release, but I will include the details in the release notes when it happens!)

To Do:

- Dialogue and Scenes + Adding SFX (Lots to work through here, but it's coming along)
- Once all the dialogue is done, I'll be passing through for another round of edits,
grammar, and spelling checks
- Music Selection (I would like to get some more music to fit the theme, but music is funnily enough some of the larger file sizes, so I will likely start reusing some of the better tracks as the Chapters progress.)

I am also adding little aesthetic things like colour to character text and so forth, and while it's not much individually, I think it adds a bit to the characters. Also pictured is a little peek at the process!

Definitely underestimated this Chapter, but I will be getting my hours in every day until it's done, otherwise I think Satan covers how we will all feel.

Until next week!
