I sincerely hoped to get more stuff done in 15 hours. I&#8217;m kinda behind on a few things, most importantly the script! But at least the basic engine works well.<\/p>\n <p>(I&#8217;m still wondering why some buttons have white font and others don&#8217;t)<\/p>\n <p>My biggest waste of time was trying to do drawings with the mouse in GIMP. I probably lost a couple of hours on that alone. I was messing around, trying to make a good image, but that didn&#8217;t work as I wanted. I dropped everything in the bin and started from scratch with Inkscape. First time using it, and I&#8217;m already in love! Easy to use and extremely powerful.<\/p>\n <p>I ditched the initial &#8220;save the princess&#8221; theme for something probably more\u00a0misterious: a secret agent story. I won&#8217;t spoil the story much but I&#8217;ll tell that I have a few interesting ideas to put on paper.<\/p>\n <p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2013\/04\/26\/some-basic-concept-done-i-present-you-the-mission\/\" target=\"_blank\">my last update<\/a> I talked about making a different image for each choice made. I&#8217;m sincerely not sure I&#8217;ll be able to do that, especially considering I still have the whole script to do (though that won&#8217;t take much, couple of hours tops).<\/p>\n <p>Aside from that, everything went rather smoothly. No major bug encountered (still). The good news is that, differently from what I predicted, I&#8217;ll probably be able to drop a (kinda) finished game before the 48 hours end. It won&#8217;t be as good and pretty as I hoped but still, it&#8217;s at least something in the plate.<\/p>\n <p>Other goodies: I worked on music to detach from coding a bit and make my brain breath a little, and it came out rather cool sounding. I love synth1, that stuff really is golden (and it&#8217;s free! It feels like jackpot).<\/p>\n <p>This is a screenshot of my desktop at the end of the day.<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screenshot17.png\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-239150 aligncenter\" alt=\"screenshot1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screenshot17-300x168.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screenshot17-300x168.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/screenshot17-550x309.png 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>FreePlane really saved my life, it is a godsend for organizing stuff out. Highly reccomended.<\/p>\n <p>Ok that&#8217;s enough for today. Now a Saturday evening out and some sleep and tomorrow we&#8217;ll start again at 6AM (ugh). Good luck to everyone!<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/renpy-python-mission-update\/\" rel=\"tag\">renpy python mission update<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 27th, 2013 1:10 pm","title":"First day of work is over!
