Progress Report - Cosplay Cafe (Patreon)

Still sick...but medicated enough that I feel at least a bit better. I've also chewed through the rest of the chats and all three of the dates, as well as knocking out all but one of the 'Minor UI' things that needed done. The remaining things to do are:

-----

Tutorial - Not really hard, it just had to wait until everything was in the game. Going to take an hour or three though.

Basic BG Music - I've got a couple free pieces to use already, but I need to hunt down a few more...as well as figure out how to make them loop in Ren'py. I can't imagine it's too hard, though. 

Credits/Attribution Menu - Should be simple. It's only waiting on me to finalize the background music, since it's really the one thing that needs attribution. I generally stayed away from stock images that require such, in the places I had to use such images.

 Playtest/Bugfix - The game has reached 9323 lines of code and there's still maybe another couple of hundred to add the the tutorial and such. Much of it was so interdependent that I couldn't test it until ALL of the stuff was in...which means I'm expecting a hell of a lot of bugs.

------

I'm planning to finalize the BG music I'm going to use before I crash for the night. I'm pretty sure putting it in and making the tutorial and Credits/Attribution Menu will get done later today(after I sleeeepppp). After that...I just don't know how long the playtest/bugfix will take. 

It's very possible that the release will happen sometime tonight (Saturday night). It's equally possible, however, that there will be enough game-breaking issues that I have to chase down that it might not happen until Sunday. Unless something bad happens or I find something major that I forgot to do when I do the playtesting pass, I can't see it being longer than that, though. So...yay...the end is in sight. Thank God for that. We're now right at about 3 weeks beyond what I thought the release day would be -_-. I can't wait to get out of death-march-of-doom zone and take a few days off.
