I honestly was hoping I'd get all the side sprites done today, but I still have two more to do. One is pretty easy, since it's just copying Danny's sprite for that location, but the other I haven't done yet. I'll probably get that done here in the next couple hours and then start on background art concepts. Which... to be honest I'm not looking forward to. Backgrounds are hard!

Included are the sprites for the mountain region, which includes a fairy, and their local domesticated animals called uahnik (an adult and a precious bab as well), the sprites for the sky region, which includes Ekweena, a very talkative bird-girl and her lovely, very mute bird-girlfriend, Iiva. The water region contains multiple sprites for a single mermaid girl, because she goes through some stuff. And then the sprites for the rainforest region, which include the treasure master and a lizard man, affectionately referred to as "the reptilian" throughout the outline, because sometimes there just isn't enough time for names (to be honest, a lot of what happens throughout this little visual novel happens quickly, and there typically isn't time for introductions, especially from monotone fairies, and mistrusting lizardmen).

I set up a BTVA for Daniel's voice talent and the single other line that I need voice acted by someone else. The side characters do all have voice actors already, well, the ones that talk at least.

Once background concept arts are complete, I'll probably push through with getting the soundtrack hammered out so I can let that rest while I do other stuff and come back to do tweaks after I've forgotten what it sounds like. I find this process usually works pretty well for anything artsy I do, the ol' draw'n'run and then I come back with fresh eyes. Works wonders for writing, song composition, and lots of others.

It'll be cool to see all this come together. I haven't worked with a deadline this strict since I was in school, so hopefully I'm not cramming stuff in at the last second. I seem to be managing my time fairly well despite having 2 visual novels on the go in combination with a full-time job, an upcoming camping trip, and a 4 piece family to tend to.

I hope everyone else participating in the jam is doing well! :)
