This is REALLY boring, but here we go: A list of things I do after the script is cleaned up and the pages are more or less ready to go:

Make sure the items from the poll are properly implemented. For example, the poll for Chapter 07 was about Diana's outfit, and I had put that off until... this week. Above is how I did the original thumbnail to leave room for whatever outfit the Influencers picked.
Check Diana's dots on every page (dot pass) - I still usually miss a bunch
Check all of the text bubbles one last time - usually still miss one or two...
Drop the color screen on every page. I actually draw in B&W and add the sepia overlay in InDesign
Export Patron reports and compile the thank you page
Prepare and design the thank you page illustration
Update the credits page with the title and set up the "next time on Familiar" section
Check footers/headers on all pages. I missed this on GIFT and fucked it up because it used to be chapter 07 and now it's a filler chapter. The footer still says 07. Just another thing to toss on the growing to-do pile. Ha ha ha
Export flattened JPGs
Load the images/pages into the website
Test drive through the pages to make sure they're in order (new after the GIFT release... lol)
Create all of the launch graphics
Set up early access password framework
