So, what's our progress status this week? We are confidently moving forward. I have written one more random event and even have found some time and inspiration to get back to finishing the last few parts of the Halloween event that have not been finished until now. As many have rightfully stated, the game does lack the events that would visibly gauge the players' growing stats (aside from the exams which every single player wants to pass first try). So that's what I set out to do. There were a couple of recurring events before, and more were planned for later. But I decided to move that "later" a bit closer to "today". One such event was written a while ago, but it makes little sense without Shady Two's artwork, so it’s waiting until she has time to attend to it. But this new Spell Practice event doesn’t need one, so players will have something to test their skills repeatedly throughout the game.

On top of that, Mitsuki’s school uniform sprite is finished, and I’ve already coded all the necessary elements into the game, so she’s good to go. She still needs her casual outfit before I can include her in one of the three story events I wrote for her. However, I’ve already added her to the other two story events and a side event that’s been in the game for a while but didn’t previously include Mitsuki’s sprite. Consider it a small teaser of what's to come.

So she still has a bit of work needed to be put into her. A couple more expressions. An aforementioned casual outfit. And a "nightgown", so I can put her into the Halloween event which is completely finished aside from the scantily dressed girl sprites which Shady Two will hopefully finish soon.

For now, though, Shady Two is busy with other artwork that is almost complete. One is for the knocked-out pixie in the Spell Practice event, and another is for a knocked-out Violet in her fifth event. Shady Two is fine, she is not trying to send you all a message.

Well, let me just go check if the locks on the cellar door are holding firm, before going back to writing random events and, finally, the second Trial.

I'll see you next week!
Shady Character One, out!
