Welcome to the dev logs for Al Dente!

Hello, I'm Malisa! I'm the programmer and project manager for Al Dente, a visual novel dating sim.  I'll be responsible for some concept art as well. Right now we are only a three person team so we wear many hats!

I don't have a lot of experience coding, and it's my first time learning Python and Ren'py, so I hope you can looking forward to seeing my (and the teams) growth throughout the updates.  We've just started so there is a lot to look forward to!

Dev Log #1

Heeeeeellooo!

I don't want to spoil anything visually until we are ready to show it, so here's some things of what we have done so far:

• Project has started!
• All the main sprites are lined, and being colored.
• The first characters prologue is working in renpy, complete with scene transitions and stand in character sprites.
• We're working on concepts for the UI.
• We have a stand in for the splash screen.
• We started using organizational tools to keep the project moving.

Things are slowly coming together.  The next things on my list of things to do is to rough the backgrounds that we need for the first scene, as well as finish making concepts for the UI.  Once there's more of the script done I can keep adding scenes to the game!

By the end of the month we should be able to post the roughs of our characters and UI.  Looking forward to hearing feedback. :)
