Progress so far:
- Continued to tweak character sprites.
- Did an editing pass on the completed script (it's ~5k, so pretty manageable)
- Got 2/4 chapters into ren'py with placeholder assets.
- Gave the Dark Wizard a haircut.
- Designed the flashback costume for the MC.
Sketches of sprites for a visual novel. In the center is the MC. He is an light-complexioned elven man who stole link's haircut and is wearing a skintight black turtleneck with a loose-fitting cardigan. He has bright blue eyes. He is wearing a sunburst-inspired crown and necklace. On the left is a human scholar with a dark complexion, red eyes and loose curly hair. He's also wearing a turtleneck. On the right is a dark-elf with a blue-ish complexion and yellow eyes with pale white hair. He looks nervously at the camera. He's carrying a robe that looks like a blankie, and is wearing a strappy black crop top and loose-fitting pants. The drawing uses muted, almost monochrome inspired colors, with the exception of bright pops for the character's eyes. It's a sketch, so it's not entirely refined.

I've gotten general designs for my MC plus my two LIs - we have the Dark Lord on the left and the Scholar on the right. This design is the "past" version of the Dark Lord - whether he gets an alt sprite will depend on time in the jam.
A screenshot from a renpy game. The character speaking is a elven man in a tatty green wizard's outfit with an eyepatch and brownish-red hair. The textbox looks like parchment, it has a yellow name banner labeled "The Traveler". In the back are sketchy versions of two characters, one of which is another elf with many pierced ears. His color palette is pale, with moonlight colored skin and hair, his eyes are purple. The human wizard is on the right. He's wearing a simple black robe. He has medium-dark skin and dark curly hair. I tried to give him a little bit of scruff, but his babyface makes this look a little odd.

I only got so far as creating the script last year before I succumbed to scope creep. I ruthlessly cut the project down to its core parts and gave my MC a new look. Working title is "The Dark Lord Must Die"
Screenshot of a WIP visual novel showing a rough placeholder background that is 5 textures slapped on top of each other, a textbox with a paper texture that includes a yellow scroll with the character name ("The Traveler") and the text "it doesn't matter". The character sprite is a bust-up picture of an elven man who's occupation is hobo wizard. He wears a tattered green coat, a floppy green hat, and an emotional security yellow scarf. He has brownish redish hair and a notch has been taken out of his ear. You can see the edge of the renpy placeholder sprite (a silhouette of an anime girl) in the right.

Oh hey. I should probably post some content here. Claude from Fire Emblem in his post time skip outfit!
