Hello.

Since reworking the narrative, my soft deadline is this Saturday (today is Wednesday) - or more accurately, this Friday before 5pm, so I still have time to build the project on campus. Anyway, on Friday we usually have table reads - where some narrative folks gather round to read each others’ texts - and I want to make it to that, so really, the deadline is Friday morning-ish.

For the sake of my sanity I have decided not to make the entire reworked game by this time, but rather, polished version of the first some scenes - McManus, Slessor, perhaps V&A, RRS Discovery, and Waterfront Gardens. Even this might be a bit much, but I’ll do what I can.

I’ve now rewritten all the scenes that I outlined in the previous post, except the last three.

I’ve visited all the early locations, and started ideating on riddles for McManus. I have an idea for the Waterfront Gardens Riddle.

I also started drawing some of the art, but it’s only sketch so far:

Since I’m wanting to make it relatively polished, I’m going to start keeping an art asset list here.

Art asset list

• [x] Elaine and Maria at McManus sprites
• [x] Elaine’s phone ringing effect (beep beep)
• [x] Elaine on the phone (in love!)
• [x] Elaine hurrying away
• [x] Crows assembling into a big crow (this might just need Unity work, to be honest)
• [x] Aurora piloting the RRS Discovery

That’s it for now!
