Hey everyone! The update will be a little short today as we're getting ready to go out for a while (for vaccination stuff. Not to like...have fun. We're still on lockdown LoL) so I've been trying to type it up quickly before we go. Let's jump in.

This Week's Summary:

• Finished sprites for Lance's route
  • Added additional sprites in
  • Made some minor adjustments to an existing character
• Put together Caleb's flowchart images
• Coded all of Caleb's flowchart screens
• Made a few small sprite additions (like a new outfit for Lance, some tweaks to Morgan's shirt in Lance's route since I didn't like how it cut off, etc).
• Added in a couple of new sprites for the end of Lance's route.

The Ramble:

I have more or less finished Lance's sprite expressions - I do have a few more bobs to code in but I have their entrances/exits coded and they show up during a fight sequence so their expressions are mostly stuck on >=( which means I really don't have to do much more than import their images for them to be done.

For the most part, his route is complete. Yay! 

I moved on to Caleb's flowcharts the last couple of days.

Caleb's route is mostly pretty linear compared to some of the others but he does have a few places of wacky branching. So...that was fun. LoL

As of typing this I have his flowcharts fully set up and imported and I have his flowchart screens set up as well. I still need to code the unlocking of the expressions though. This requires going through the route and putting a single line of code in every single scene or scenario or variation that is represented on the chart.

I will probably go ahead and get Magnus' and Lance's flowcharts done next just so I have them out of the way before I start spriting Caissa's route.

So yeah, that's really it. Finished sprite expressions for Lance's route, started Caleb's flowcharts.

Sneak Peeks and Previews:

Upcoming Week:

I don't think I'll be pushing out Caleb's route for testing by the end of the weekend or anything but possibly early next week or by mid-next week.

I have to get his flowcharts fully coded and then I want at least one play-test of it. I'll probably also finish going through all corrections for Ari's route so a corrected version is available for any new testers or anyone who wants to replay.

But my immediate focus will be flowcharts. Then I'll worry about other things. 

That's all for this update. I shall see you all next week! *zooms out*
