Here's what I worked on since the last devlog.

I'm pleased to say that I've finally finished writing File 04: New Brunswick! Certainly a challenging mystery to write, and hopefully to solve as well. As always, I'll make the beta available on Patreon and Afdian as soon as I can. Now I'll begin creating the sprites, backgrounds, music, and coding everything. It's going to be a ton of work, but I'm looking forward to it.
Writing is definitely the hardest part of the process. I downloaded this app called Highland 2 that can keep track of how many words you write, and lets you set 30 minute timers, and word count goals to reach. I don't want this post to turn into an unintentional advertisement, but I really did find it helpful and less glitch-y than other writing software I've tried.
Another unexpected issue was that I hurt my back, largely due to switching the desk I was working at. My back has since recovered, fortunately.
I also contributed two music tracks to another Spooktober game jam entry — BABELOMANIA. I hope I'll have time to do a Spooktober entry myself someday. :)
Until next time!
