I finally finished coding everything! So the entire script is now fully implemented! Right now it’s sitting at almost 4,000 lines of code and dialogue!
Next, I’ll start running tests to make sure all the lines and choices work as they should....

I got a bunch of feedback on the beta version and I still haven’t managed to fix all the little details. Honestly, I hadn’t even noticed so many mistakes myself, haha.

Meanwhile, I also spotted a small issue in the script with a very specific route...
#tfc #thefreakcircus

This week, only two new sprites were added to the list I need to finish. But that’s because this scene doesn’t require many new sprites, so a lot of dialogue still got coded.
But again... Harlequin is giving me trouble. For some reason, his scenes always cause...

This week was a bit tougher several scenes I coded didn’t work as expected. That happens sometimes, so I ended up stuck on two specific scenes for quite a while. They finally started working, but they still need some tweaking, which I can do after the beta version is out.

Lore!
There are still more snippets that I’m not sure if I’ll turn into comics (because it’s a lot of work), whether to just leave the written bits, or maybe make a simpler comic to illustrate them. These include:

Weekly update
This week I managed to finish some sprites that are now ready to be added to the game!
Several others are still in the painting phase, and many sketches are already being used as placeholders in simpler scenes, which allows me to code a good portion of the dialogue

Weekly update + sneak peak
So just to keep you updated, here’s a bit about how the process works:

I start by sketching some placeholders and coding part of the dialogue for that scene.

Jester and the fifth one already have concept art and a full design, but I’m still making some adjustments to their outfits so for now, I just wanted to reveal a little sneak peek.

Now, about this week’s update:

I've been working on the opening scenes this week, so the beginning of the game is already coded up to a certain point in the dialogue.

The main menu is also getting a brand-new image! I think you’ll like it!

...

It’s been one month since my game was released! 🎉

Thank you all so much for the support!
I’ve been working consistently, and I’m excited to show you everything I have planned!

These are colored sketches I had to make to help me with the new sprites.
A lot of people asked to see the full outfit so here it is!

This image almost became the game's main screen. I gave up on it when it was nearly finished because I planned to make the image change as you progressed through the game, but I'm still learning how to make something like that work!

I made a small update, just added the pronouns option now!

And so back to planning for day 2!
