Hello everybody! It’s time for the first April update! It’s been three weeks this time, since I pickthe dates based on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month and it turns out, March had an extra Saturday! And I’ve made good use of the additional time-
Let’s jump right into it with the last update’s goals:
Sketch remaining 4 backgrounds for Area 3 : Done!
Complete at least 2 of those Area 3 Backgrounds : Done!
Create a map for Tony’s Rides : Map is made (Pictured below- Worry not, the blurry edges are covered by the GUI) and Tony’s Rides are fully functional!
Implement all Objekt Reactions for Bea and Syoko in Area 2 : Done!
And the stretch goals for further in April, AKA this update’s goal list:
Complete Area 3 Backgrounds : Done!
Make travel throughout Area 3 Possible : Done!
Add characters into Area 3, if there’s still time: Also done!
That’s right, in a remarkable turn from the disappointments of March, I’ve actually already completed all of the goals I had laid out for the month of April~ It’s mostly good news, though part of the time I had to work on EF2 came about as a result of something unpleasant. On the etsy shop side of things, I was preparing to squeeze in one last order before the May 2nd Tariff date… Then they became even larger, and effective immediately, and I had to abandon those plans, and with them, several items on my to-do list! Here’s hoping that clears up at some point, but it’s great for EF fans at the moment, since it gives me no choice but to focus all my creativity here.
I have been advised to perhaps not make another list of goals for the rest of April and just take the early completion as a reward. But, I’ll still be trying to knock out a few other tasks by the 26th!
Finally generate progress bars to use in future updates
Check in with any Kickstarter backer commissions left in the pipe (All physical rewards were completed quite some time ago, so nothing to worry about in regards to the aforementioned tariffs, but there are a few digital ones left to square away!)
Draw a cute EF doodle for Easter
Make a fun little character themes video for the cast of the Beloved Ghost DLC
Add Objekt Reactions for Renfield, Maude, and Prim in Area 3
Basically, taking this opportunity to knock out some dev-adjacent stuff that’s fallen to the side while balancing my jobs, shop, and core game development… And yes, still making a little bit of progress on the game itself. Not as notable as usual, perhaps, but it has to be done sometime, may as well be while I’m ahead! And Area 4 can wait until June. Thank you, as always, for reading- And I’ll see you again on the 26th!
