Hey all! Last month was super productive and I'm so excited to talk about it!
First of all, I started coding the menus. It's a bit confusing, but I'm getting the hang of it. The first thing I did was move the main menu options to the center of the screen while keeping the game menu screens off to the left where RenPy puts them originally. I also shortened the list of main menu options to keep simplicity. I'm still working on coding in the NSFW toggles and an achievements/gallery page. I've got the code mostly figured out, but it's a matter of implementing it and getting it to actually work in the game that's tripping me up. Also, the day 1 stories are completely finished! Narration, sprite notes, scene and music notations are all done! On top of that, I've also created concept art for the menus, text boxes, and some of the backgrounds, as well as selected the fonts that will be used throughout the game. When looking at it in-game, it doesn't seem like a whole lot but this is huge progress for me!
So, what's next? I'm going to keep tackling the coding. I want to complete the coding for the menus before I move on to other parts of the game, like story and more official artwork. I'll keep working on concepts in the meantime, as well, so when it's time for official artwork, I have a jumping-off point. That's all for now! Thank you so much for your continued support! I'm so excited for you all to see this thing come together!
