This week was very productive and I got a lot of work done.
Scene design is done for the alpha, though I will probably polish it more, especially my lava design.
Gameplay and puzzles are now at 95% and I also did some in-game animations and some sound design.
Next week I plan on finishing all the gameplay, working out the missing systems (ask NPCs questions as a secondary player and make the walkie talkie work both ways + questions asking) and start with the cutscenes.
Aside from that, I still need to write music demos and draw some additional in-game animations for special actions, but I'll probably release the alpha without those, so I can get some feedback and bug reports while I continue working on it.
The 10th of April, 2023, for the alpha release is still my goal and it feels very doable, but I'm not making any promises yet.
Meanwhile here is another sneak peak of another scene including a little not so subtle tribute to one of my all time favorite characters.
