Devlog 51: The Cast Has Been Cast
I've finished File 04's sprites!

Here's what I worked on since the last devlog.
- Finished the sprites for File 04
- Website updates
I'm happy to report that I've finished the sprites for File 04! I'm trying something new for the next phase of development instead of waiting to implement everything until I have the backgrounds, I'm going to try coding the entire File using placeholder backgrounds first. This means I'll end up testing the game more, since I will actually be able to play through it much earlier. Large adjustments are harder to make once the backgrounds are all rendered, so my theory is that this will speed up development, at least a little. Maybe my theory will end up being refuted, but it's worth a try. ;)
Until next time!
LockedOn.
