December Status Report + Smol art teaser

Voltlin Art by Applehead

As some people guessed on the earlier capital teaser yes the one silhouette was a Voltlin!

Just keep in mind its the intro to the location so don't expect too much content for anyone but Perpetua.

Now then! For the monthly progress round up.

First week was post update down time, then bug fixing for the bug fix update that got put out.

Then next week was mostly more bug fixing with some assorted logistic thingys, tho some of the following may have taken place then as well, but it gets a bit hazier somehow moving closer to now.

I got the new map location set up, and set up the cloud layering system for the rest of the game basically, fixed some issues with how it was layering clouds, and all locations now technically have a file. Mostly did all this cause the cloud layering for the capital broke if I didn't. xD

Then I added an extra optional location field for "ExplorationUnlockedByEvent" and "ExplorationUnlockedBy" so I can do some stuff with extra requirements to get exploration available while allowing extra adventures once you clear the first adventure. Which is needed for both the labyrinth and capital at this time. 

I then took the time to hunt down a bunch of new free use songs for the game, mostly looking for the capital's sake, and found about 20 in total, and for the update only 10 will be in to avoid needless file size bloat, and give me time to think on the other songs I found if I'll even want to use them.

I've also set up all the character art for the intro, well except for 1 but that's cause I recently decided to use it as part of the intro as part of some revisions I'll do.

And of course I started writing the actual intro scenes, which is effectively two parts you can trigger separately, as well as getting them edited and gone over so they can be refined to be better, with the combined word count currently sitting at 5500ish. And that number still needs to go up with the next revision pass. It being in two parts will also make it easier to read through if you don't want to do it all in one go for some reason. Which will make more sense when you get there. Part 1 is totally done tho and fully edited. Part two needs more revisions (and is also the larger part.)

Also somewhere in all that crimbas did happen too. And imp art teaser.

Which at that is about everything done this month (I think). So finishing up the intro scenes will be first, then I'll need to make an important story battle, then (or maybe before the fight) write the outro to this intro to the capital and trying up and loose ends for stuff.

Once those are done the update will be effectively ready, though I have other things in mind I do want to add in if possible so we'll see how January goes for that. 

Uhhh... I think that's everything for now?

So I hope everyone has a wonderful new year. :D
