Merry Christmas! πŸŽ„ Going into 2025!


Quick time, hammer time, kumquat update rapid fire! GO GO GO!!

  1. Most scripts are 100% done and implemented across the game, including gift giving, money, sleeping, working, breaking up with/dating other characters, a special curse mechanic, year limit, end credits, holidays/birthdays, etc.
  2. All sounds/ambience/voice lines/effects are done 100%.
  3. All graphics are 100% done, including UI, character sprites, backgrounds, etc.
  4. Story routes are 100% complete.
  5. Secret character scripts are 95% done. I need to check on my methods for finding secret characters, and that needs to be done via play testing and a few smaller changes.
  6. Game launch time needs work. The demo takes a long time to start up for almost everybody, and this needs to be improved, so I'm going to say that this is at 0%, because if it was bad with only 6 characters in the game, I can only imagine how bad it is now that there's a full 29 with their accompanying art, stories, music, etc.


I may take Christmas off. At least one day. Half a day. I don't know. I'll probably work on it here or there.


IMPORTANT LIFE UPDATE: 

Full disclosure, I've been evicted from my current property, and we have to vacate by Jan 1. On top of that, my fiancΓ© lost his job and we can't afford to find the 4K that we desperately need to get into the new house. We were planning to leave before it got to this point but our landlord beat us to it, the house we're in is too expensive and we've gone into 20K+ in debt trying to make rent payments on time.

We can only afford about half of what we need because of the timing. So if anyone knows how to make about $2500 before January 1 hit a sister up. 

That being said, I'm going to try and get as much done on this game before I have to pack up my computer after next weekend, and hopefully it's only a day or two before I can set back up.

I'm still aiming for Q2/Q3 for release, depending on life and play testing.


I'm watching Final Destination right now to feel something because the past 2 years have been absolutely awful.


Merry Christmas! πŸŽ„πŸŽπŸŽ…
