Added 2023-10-18 09:56:22 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
warm greetings as I present you our 29th Weekly Report!
Here's our progress on Episode 6:
- Renders: 90%
- Story: 100%
- Animations: 60%
- Development: 80%
If you have ideas or tips to make the game even better, please share them on our Discord in the #ideas-and-feedback channel.
How is Episode 6 progressing?
Things are progressing well, most of the renders are nearly complete. However, the animations might pose a challenge due to the limited time frame. I'm uncertain about the duration required for their rendering.
There's a possibility that we might have to postpone the release by an additional week if rendering takes longer than anticipated. I'll keep you updated on any changes.
GUI update
As mentioned in my previous report, I'm enhancing the game's UI to elevate your playing experience. You deserve the best quality. While I'm still struggling with some coding issues, I've provided screenshots for you to compare the current and previous designs.
Main screen OLD GUI

Main screen NEW GUI
The new screen is more streamlined and user-friendly than the last one. I'm planning to incorporate the Gallery into the main menu. Please note, the main image you see is just a placeholder, I'll be creating a distinct one for it soon.

Preference screen OLD GUI

Preference screen NEW GUI
The updated preference screen offers more options and have a more professional appearance compared to the previous one. While the last screen was the default from Ren'Py, this new version provides enhanced game control and aligns better with our brand colors.

Load screen OLD GUI

Load screen NEW GUI
The updated load and save screens now align better with our branding and have a more professional look compared to the previous versions. It's a similar improvement to what we achieved with the settings screen. I hope you'll appreciate the enhancements! :)
