Wow, all I've done today is endless amounts of admin and moving around image and video files...
Anyway, here's the big artwork I had to throw together for the store page because I think I forgot to share it here?? I don't know, it's all been a blur.

Really jazzed up this random sign with this detail.
It happened to be on a stream of old UK TV I was watching while drawing.

As well as lots and lots of bug fixing, I threw together a little animation effect for when this type of menu closes.
Also been working on an alternate, and more comfortable, interaction method for the 2D areas.

After some useful feedback, I made slight modifications to the note book!
One of the changes was having the check-list tabs stack to make it clear there's more than one. Something I intended to do a while ago (but forgot).

This screen transition might not look very interesting. And that's the point. All the other 2D transitions are swapping sprites within the same GameMaker room. This transition however is a room change. It was such a minor detail that I kept forgetting to fix it. For 4 years!...

I really wanted to write 'DISGUSTANG' in this text but couldn't break character.
I'm so so so tired now though. Worked through the night to get as much stuff done so I could hit that 'release' button. Still some placeholder things here and there that I'll sort over the weekend.

Working on a last couple of 3D models (WIP texture). I didn't realise how unsettling this was going to look. It's cute.

Made a few versions of this bit of music in various levels of displeasure. This is the slightly annoyed one.
All the soundtrack music for ACT I is now done! I can't believe how much work 25~ mins worth of music would be...

More audio work done today. Hopefully can share some of that tomorrow!
For now, please enjoy these standard issue theme park mascots.
I based them on some real 90's shows, and you get bonus points if you know which ones.

Been busy with audio work today. So here's a small area that I think looks quite nice with one of the recently added dead trees.
And gosh, 7 days now until ACT I is available on Steam and Itch! I'd be nervous if I wasn't so tired.

The closest thing to a gacha mechanic in my game.
Little plastic toy capsules mostly full of maybe pointless tat to clutter your inventory with. At no extra cost!!! wow

Almost all of today was taken up with rearranging the notebook entries into their final places. It's been pretty much all spoiler heavy material.
I can share this new, and very important, initial objective the player is given:

It's not looking very pretty right now but it'll get there later this week.
