Sorry for not updating the past two days, I had a lot to do :) So I'll just update you on everything I did for that time.
I didn't do a whole lot the past two days cause I had a lot of shit to do Thursday and Friday I travelled for like 3-4 hours. I've actually been on vacation this week LMAO, so not the best time to do something like this but I will power through because FEESH! But I worked on the script a bit and added a credits section in my doc because without it I'd probably forget all the places I got my shit from LMAO. I also made some (shitty) assets and thought about mechanics for a fishing """"minigame""""*. Didn't actually put it into the game yet but should be a fairly simple process since I have the plan.
*does not deserve to be called a minigame.
I might not have done much yesterday, but to compensate I plan on finishing the script today! I'm about halfway done and I know where the story is heading. Getting that idea of where the story was going was really the biggest hurdle. I also started drawing a CG simply because I felt like drawing. It may or may not actually make it into the game by the deadline. I take a lot of time to draw. I might also start putting things into the game and proofreading my script today because god knows it needs that.

Ok so today I have managed to start putting what I have in my script into my engine. A very simple copy-paste process while adding all necessary visuals and stuff. I still need to write the rest of the script but the game itself is not experiencing any issues. Except the image gallery. Fuck the image gallery. (idk why its not working i did all the right steps there shouldn't be issues but for some reason the engine doesn't like me.) Lowkey wanna just abandon the gallery if it keeps not working. Also I installed a plugin that allows for quick time events, so that's fun. The plugin is japanese so I don't fully know how it works atp but it should be some simple gameplay to spice things up a little (lol). I feel like this game would benefit a lot from interactivity in some capacity but I don't know how to make like a fun minigame and don't have the time to find out so here we are.

UPDATE: I GOT THE GALLERY WORKING LETSGO

So if I'm late for this jam don't be surprised because I forgot that this was a week long jam and not a month long jam and I didn't do any work until like today LMAO
But yeah, I'm doing a visual novel. I have a rough outline of the plot and have started scripting. I also have two of the sprites download (using premade sprites cause f-ck that) and I'm gonna find all the backgrounds later. I probably don't need many just like a lake and maybe a school and maybe some other things that come up as I write. This won't be a very long game cause yk I have less than a week atp but :D Hopefully it's enjoyable. Honestly wanna add some gameplay but the engine I'm using is codeless and doesn't have that capability and I'm not about to learn ren'py or how to code minigames in a week so idk how that'd work. Maybe I can make something with the HTML embeds if I figure out how to make something with HTML? (I have before with the f-ckin app maker on code.org LMAO) But don't count on it.
