Hello there!

My apologies, I'm really late with this progress report!

It's a bit crazy here: it's the vacations, and that means my child is at home... And of course, it's not easy :p

So I've also given myself some time off. A family weekend, for example. We saw kangaroos! :D

Development : I've got all the music for Amy and Aurora, and I'm starting to work on Celeste's with the composer. But it's getting expensive, so I'm not sure I'll be able to do all the characters for the next release. :(

For the game itself: I've started work on the graphical interface. The aim is to make it more neonpunk than oldschool. I mean, everything looks really amateur contemporary... But then, I don't spend much time on it, mainly when the PC is rendering :)

Story-wise: the whole chapter is planned out, so I know what's going to happen in detail, in what order, and with whom. By the way, thanks to all the bosses who took part in the latest survey! The winner is Whisper, neck and neck with Amy. But don't be sad, all the characters will have at least one little scene in this new chapter!

As for the numbers, I'm at :

- 105 renders

- 330 frames of animation for the first animation of the chapter

- 525 lines of script

- 150 lines of story waiting to be scripted

The next week will be devoted to a bit of work on the interface, posing everything that's already been written, and writing the sequel if I manage to get enough quiet time alone for that.

On the other hand, my wife is having surgery tomorrow, and won't be able to use her hand for at least 2 weeks. I'm going to have to do a lot more around the house... She's been very supportive up to now, but now it's my turn to support her!

If I see that it's taking up too much of my GS work, I might put the billing on hold for a month, until she recovers enough. But we'll have to see how it all goes and if the surgery goes well tomorrow.

That's all for today!
