Day 1-15-18 - 4 days remain!
Got a LOT of art done this weekend and it wasn't nearly enough but I'm still really proud of it.
Character face art for three characters - left to right here are Ineni, Vaughn, and a generic ghost sprite. I've got two more done as well. I wanted to have 8 done before I uploaded the art into the game, but I honestly can't think of three other characters I'll need art for, and I really need to get back to coding.
For the sprites I'm basically just gonna be editing the pre-made game sprites, for now. I did some sprite coloring today, and tomorrow I'll start actually adjusting the pixels to change hair/clothes etc. Since the face art is pretty much done, sprites will be my focus for the next couple days - I'll be using all the pre-made sprites for everyone except my main four characters, for now, so that I'm not putting too much on my plate.
I have my temporary win condition set, so all I need to do for coding is write the scene that gives the quest to the player, and write the quest's end 'boss' battle. I also have several maps to make, but at this point the rest of the maps are just filler - interior scenes that I set up to exist, or places I knew I wanted ghost encounters to happen, or so forth. I've got four days, which should hopefully be less busy than this weekend was, so I should be able to get everything done in a reasonable timeframe. And if by tomorrow night I'm not significantly further along in sprite editing, I'll just abandon it to the last minute improvements column!
