I'm hoping in the future to make another nearby section with even more!

After tiring of my own ineptitude for long enough, I've been upgrading the scrolling text entry UI to look like the regular kind of low budget.
With the powerfully nostalgic forces of dot-matrix printer paper!

Working on a small frivolous office drama inspired by an equally bizarre reddit thread I saw recently.
It was just the sort of nonsense that felt at home in this game and it amused greatly.

Another of these delicious memories.
I spend an embarrassing amount of time trying to track down year specific reference images of old food wrappers.
And to what end? idk but it's fun.

The difference 5 years can make if you keep at it.
One small challenge at a time.

Spot the difference!...
One of the places getting more details patched in this week.
There are many things that need improvements, and an unacceptably empty area like this is one of them!

Finished some inventory icons that I 'forgot' about until now.
A neatly folded bag.
A bottle that flaunts the rules of perspective.
A key that looks outraged.
An aged character keyring.

Another old pic of my game from 6 years ago while I was teaching myself GML.
I'm such an unapologetically cringe UNDERTALE fan that this mystery birb showed up to keep my spirits up. It was fun!

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.

Slowly working on simple gameplay footage videos to go with the background music tracks. While also trying to get used to DaVinci Resolve.
It's nice having video editing software that works.

LOOK
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.

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.
