I hung out today at a friend’s apartment while I worked on the game, and explained how miraculous it feels when you manage to even get the bare minimum of a game working, enough that you can say “it’s actually a game.”

Anyway, the main mechanics for my fighting game visual novel are mostly working (minus a few bugs) and I have the character art in. Still needs lots more UI art, visual polish, and some script revisions, especially to make the mechanics easier to understand. Not sure I’ll have that all done by tomorrow at 6 for the Compo, but at least it’s actually a game.
