[Extra] Working on the Hive! (Pixiv Fanbox)

Another day working on the game! Today, I focused on drawing faces for Ms. Melrose's "family" and integrating the sprites into the game engine. It's the exact same process as I did last month for Ms. Mack's and her Juvies. First, I drew different expressions for the characters. Then each part of the expression (eye position, mouth, eyebrows position, extra elements) was exported separately. It's pretty time-consuming and frustrating at times because resizing the sprites from the higher version to a smaller version for the game usually causes some artifacts to appear on the expressions and that needs to be dealt with manually. Before resizing the characters, I do some tests on a lineup to see how they look compared to other characters so they don't look too weird when they're side by side. Expressions and files export took the majority of the day, but I also had some time to start the integration of the sprites into the game. Also, a pretty time-consuming process, so I plan to continue tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, I will continue to work on the game and integrate the segment with Ms. Melrose and her Juvies. After that, and some flavor text and extra dialogues, we should finally be set for a new demo!
