Developer's Journal 2:15
Added 2023-01-28 05:34:48 +0000 UTCHey everybody. Slow week for progress on the game. I'm transitioning to a new project at work, which has meant trying to wrap things up on my last project and getting trained on/acclimated to the new one, and it's been very stressful and draining. Adding in a couple of small personal dramas and I didn't have a lot of time to work on the game, and when I did have time I just didn't have the right mindset. Between my job and this game I've been working 16+ hour days seven days a week for over a year, so I allowed myself to take a few mental health days this week without working on the game to avoid burnout.
Tomorrow I'll be at a work conference all day so again will not be able to work on the game. But Sunday I'll be back on it full force.
The one thing I did get done earlier in the week was one FINAL revision of the blonde and her basketball court scene. I know, I keep redoing this. But I think all of the attention has paid off. I lightened her skin tone slightly, gave more depths to her cheeks, and changed her outfit.
Here's the last version I showed you:

And the new version:

The differences are subtle but significant.

I believe this character will have a lot of fans, once she gets her full introduction.
Alright guys. Thank you for your patience and thank you for your support.
