Devlog 23: Written!
It's been a while, French Canadians... but I'm back!

I was on a trip for the whole month of May, working remotely to write File 02. I'm very pleased to say that all five chapters in File 02 have now been written. This one was very difficult to write, and I'm eager to finally be able to focus on what I enjoy way more: creating and implementing all the sprites, music, backgrounds, etc.
My progress has been slower, partly due to taking on art commissions this year. So I will be pausing commissions from July onward, and hopefully that will let me invest more time and energy into progress on the game. It's definitely taking longer than I estimated what else is new?
This week, I have to get through my queue of commissions, but I will also be coding expressions and implementing what I can. Work on backgrounds will start very soon.
Until next time!
LockedOn.
