Implemented smart crossfade today for #DaddyDatingGame... it'll now crossfade music and do nothing if the given track is already playing
This'll make music staging so much quicker; won't have to manually fadeout music, nor conditional everywhere to see if the music needs to change

All the music for #DaddyDatingGame is staged and... the character settings screen is nicer!
Obviously needs more UI polish and cleanup, but you can now toggle the guys' settings with a visual indication of what's changing
(Also the screen is generated automatically per guy!)

Bob is slightly regretting having 12 separate routes in #DaddyDatingGame because it's creating slightly ridiculous branching every time I even start a new game day
But, uh... finally finished day 13, and we're now at 118,778 words (9107 dialogue blocks) so... progress?

I've been making some slow progress on #DaddyDatingGame, mostly just filling in random new scenes as they come to mind without really trying to put them in the right place(s) yet
Now at 42,214 words (and on in-game day 7 😬 )

Oh my god
After over a year, day 7 of #DaddyDatingGame is finally done being written
And it is 2012 lines long (four times the length of the previous game Saturday)
Jesus what I have I done to myself?
Game is now 50,595 words and 3,991 dialogue blocks 😶

A small #IndieGameDev update:
#DaddyDatingGame progress continues. I've been adding three (!) additional routes to the game and generally fleshing out those scenes and tying them into the current game flow... this'll make 10 total game routes
The game is now at 98,290 words (7534 dialogue blocks)

It occurs to me I haven't posted a #DaddyDatingGame update in a long time
The day job has been too busy to make serious progress, but I've been knocking out scenes (and scene-bits), and sprite progress has continued
The game is currently 38,348 words, and here's a WIP headshot of Gabe #GameDev

Text messaging is done for #DaddyDatingGame
It uses NVL mode but has a "memory" of previous conversations (by person/group) and shows a hint of who you're talking to in the background so it's less confusing when the game switches between convos

Oh, I don't think I ever shared the finished sprite for #MTRGame (CW: Shirtless man)
Here's Jason
He's gonna get reused for #DaddyDatingGame as well, and I'm still figuring out what else I'll commission for #BaraJam (given my artist's time constraints)
