Progress log 6 (v0.4)

Added 2019-12-16 04:38:31 +0000 UTC

Alright, this should be the last progress log for v0.4, let's get right into it!

For starters, the town rework has been finally completed for v0.4. There's a lot more things that will be added to the town in the future, but it's done as far as v0.4 goes.

All of the new POI building related stuff has wrapped up as well.

The dialogue of v0.4 events has been in the engine for quite a while, but they were still missing their CGs. In past updates assigning expressions, names, bodies, clothes, etc to each line of dialogue didn't take more than a couple of days, but due to the sheer amount of events in v0.4 that process took a lot longer. It took a while, but the good news is that that process wrapped up as well.

So, now that the events and buildings are done, what's left? Well, code.

Really hadn't touched the code after making the save system up until a couple days ago, so as you can expect there's a still a few things to code. Said thing are mainly Mei, and the logic for the new POI's service and work system. Most of Mei's code (about 90%) has been done in the past couple of days, so really all that's missing is the new POI's logic.

There's also a new event that is a bit more complex than the rest of the events, and will need it's own script, so that's something else that needs to be done.

Once the code of that one event, the new POI's code and the remaining minor code related things (changing level caps and minor stuff like that) are done, I'll be moving on to testing and getting rid of as many bugs as possible before releasing it.

So yeah, lots of things were done since the last progress log and as long as nothing goes terribly wrong, the next post should be v0.4's beta access with the final version's early access coming up a few days later!
