Devlog 41: Heading Down the Runway
The biggest background in File 03 has been finished... and now it's all coming together very quickly!

Here's what I've done since the last devlog, where I finished all the sprites for File 03!
-
- Finished the largest background
- Coded the expressions for all 5 chapters
- Rendered backgrounds for Chapter 12
- Implemented backgrounds for Chapter 12
I've made a ton of progress since the last devlog. It really feels like the "File 03 plane" is heading down the runway, and now that all these pieces are in place, it won't be long before I'm able to finish it! This was one of the hardest backgrounds to make, perhaps the hardest (the Grouse Mountain's opening area was quite a difficult one...) The reason is that I needed to create many more unique textures, due to the nature of the mystery, and this background actually contains four separate spaces, all in one.
Because this background is the location of the entire mystery, the mystery chapters (12, 13 & 14) will be finished first. They are the hardest, so I'm giving them my priority. I'm currently rendering backgrounds as I write this.
Thanks for your patience, it'll be full steam ahead from here on out.
Until next time!
LockedOn.
