Steam Chronicle #31: Lotsa Random Stuff!

[h1]Updated GameMaker + Bugfixes[/h1] I did something I've been putting off for a while and updated our game development IDE to the newest version. This brought some new bugs with it I needed to fix which took some time. But I also took it as an opportunity to fix a lot of long-time bugs I never got around to dealing with. There's still a handful I haven't had time to get to, but it will really help out later having a big chunk of them out of the way. [h1]Cutscene Progress[/h1] Alan is almost done going through the entire script of the game and adding character expressions to the portraits throughout! He's reached chapter 20 out of 21, so there's only 2 remaining now! [h1]Dungeon and Map Progress[/h1] Postcat Jeff minigame is now mostly functional! Some aspects are still incomplete but this video should give you a pretty good idea of how it will work. You control Jeff the Postcat as he moves on a grid like old-school maze type games. You try to avoid the obstacles and get to the end, maybe collecting some things along the way to open up the path!

There's nothing new to show yet, but there most likely will be next update.

We have one more batch in the making right now, and then there will only be a few misc NPC's and extra pieces of art for them needed. Here's a small sample of the last batch of NPCs!

With some of this other work out of the way, next time around expect all the remaining boss AI to be completed. ๐Ÿ’ช Until next time, Joe
