#progress reports: programming

programming/general update hey, everyone!! i don't think actually showing you the code itself would actually be all that interesting 😭 so i'll just give you a quick rundown! i've finished programming all the dialogue for the intro scene into the game, and also customized the gui! we're going for a warmer colour scheme, and i think it turned out real cute :D an image gallery and the classic ace attorney text beeps have also been added! we also TECHNICALLY have one route completely programmed! @veysa-loser made this incredible art for the ending, and i decided immediately that it was shitpost material. what is the route?? you'll have to play and see, silly got the .midi file for a cruel angel's thesis from bitmidi! used a combination of the aai1 and aa:pw soundfonts, shared by iteachvader and sunfunblue on musical artifacts! i put both into musescore and reassigned the instruments to parts myself. ALSO you can use the tag #tp1 if you want to create fan stuff for us in the future

the last progress report was NOT 3 months ago you are INSANE. anyway,

seriously though, apologies for the lack of formal updates on this project. we seem to have accidentally left you in the dark a little...

so, what's going on?

we are making slow but sure progress on the vn; it's been a little hard because a lot of us have started work, school, etc - but we're definitely still here!

most of the current progress has been on character concepts!! our lovely artists have been working hard to design some incredible new outfits for our beloved characters :-)

this is not to say that nothing is going on in the other areas, though! our writers have been coming up with really cool ideas for routes and decisions you'll have to make throughout the visual novel, too, and our programmer and co. have been brainstorming ui, controls, and other small but crucial details that make the game flow as they should ^_^

i think that's it for the general update, there may be art and programming specific updates coming soon(?)
