Methods: The Canada Files News

All the sprites for File 03 have been completed!



Here's what I've done since the last devlog, where I finished writing File 03!

• Worked on the largest background
  
• Finished the character sprites for File 03
  
• Worked on 4th Anniversary content
  

Getting the character sprites done is huge! Now I can finish blocking out all the scenes. I've made some progress on the big background, making lots of props and things. However, it's not yet "feature complete" (still missing the vital pieces of evidence which need to be there to solve the mystery). With the characters designed, I can create the suspect/victim dummies and finish the new casefile.

I also worked on features for Methods' 4th Anniversary, which is coming in April, so look forward to that!

Until next time!

File 03 has been written!



The last time I checked in with a devlog, I had just finished writing Chapter 14. Here's what I've done since then.

• Finished Chapter 14
  
• Finished Chapter 15
  

I'm really glad to finally be done with the writing process (though revisions will likely be made during development). Now everything's a lot clearer. Much more work ahead, but at least the creative heavy lifting is over. I have two very rough versions of the backgrounds I need, two finished sprites, and I commissioned a programming genius to write a python script for me which automatically adds in simple "idle" and "talk" expressions.

Though I'll still need to manually tweak them, getting a rough version of the expressions in so quickly is a huge time-saver. The next big hurdle is sprites and backgrounds!

Until next time!
