Alright, I have several things I want to talk about, so I will break this update into increments... 1. I am working on the tittle illustration. (pic above). It feels strangely exciting to be drawing again. I didn't realize it's been so long since I drew something significant. I don't think I am spoiling to much by showing you this one. Also I spent yesterday's evening and today's entire morning working on some (super secret) feature that I previously gave up on because of the lack of time. But yesterday I for some reason felt a strong urge to work on the thing... and I gave in to the urge. Simply could not resist. And I am glad I decided to work on it, because it didn't take me nearly as long as I thought it would and now the game has another little (AWESOME) feature in it's arsenal. I am torn between my desire to brag about that new feature but at the same time I want you guys to discover it on your own... I think I will stick with the later. 2. My internet connection is back up. I was stealing internet from my neighbor's unprotected wi-fi up until now, and it was barely working... It;s good to have a decent connection again. 3. We had another little (FUCKING) fire few hours ago. I really need to move... Seriously. Here is THE VIDEO: http://youtu.be/sTcGecekz48 4. Xaljio... I mentioned this guy many times before. He is my personal Ren'Py consultant and now he has a patreon page. So if you have a buck to spare, throw it his way. Feel free to take it from me... Seriously. Now, I always write the scripts myself, but I have no talent for programming. Also I have no patience to learn things, to be a Ren'Py forum rat and read tutorials and stuff. I were to look for a needle in a hay stag, I would not waste time analyzing which part of the stag is most likely to contain the needle or which method of search to use. Instead I would start looking for the thing right away. Meticulously, one straw after another. It can't be helped, that's just how my mind works. I hate to waste time when I can be doing actual work (even if I do it in a not efficient way). Thanks to Xaljio I don't have to bother with things like that though. Every time I stumble on a problem I just send the entire "stag" to him and he finds the "needle" for me and then explains to me in detail how I should look for that needle properly myself next time. "Princess Trainer" is a pretty damn simple game but without Xaljio's help it would probably be just a click-click-click visual novel. Also back when I started all this there was NO MONEY in making these games. And he was helping me without asking for anything in return, so now if he can get at least something back, it would make me feel happy. In any case here is his page, whenever you feel like it - you know what to do. http://www.patreon.com/xaljio Also in "Princess Trainer" I will be using a clever code that will allow you to play dress up with Lola (or Iris) and they will be keeping their outfits throughout all the cut-scenes now. This is something I ALWAYS (!!!) wanted to have in the game and now I can do it easily. Would never happen without Xaljio's help. Alright, alright that's enough I think. Like I said - working on the title illustration. Done with all the Snape related crap. Next thing will be two short events. Then I think gallery and extras. After that a million of small things that are still missing: (Some item descriptions, proper item prices, ect.) And after that either a first actual testing of everything (by me) or maybe those short side-quests. Also the game is shaping out to be really good. I say this because I wasn't always sure about the choices I made with this one. But now I see that there are so many things that even if some ideas won't really work the rest will. And it does :) Alright, all I had to say. Thank you for everything. Can't wait to leave this ghetto behind, can't wait to release "HT" and can't wait to get to working on "Princess Trainer GE"... Now it is time for my dayly back up. Better hurry up before another gas explosion or something.
