Devlog 39: File 03 Written!
File 03 has been written!

The last time I checked in with a devlog, I had just finished writing Chapter 14. Here's what I've done since then.
- Finished Chapter 14
- Finished Chapter 15
I'm really glad to finally be done with the writing process (though revisions will likely be made during development). Now everything's a lot clearer. Much more work ahead, but at least the creative heavy lifting is over. I have two very rough versions of the backgrounds I need, two finished sprites, and I commissioned a programming genius to write a python script for me which automatically adds in simple "idle" and "talk" expressions.
Though I'll still need to manually tweak them, getting a rough version of the expressions in so quickly is a huge time-saver. The next big hurdle is sprites and backgrounds!
Until next time!
LockedOn.
