The stats!

For those of you that just want to see how close the second demo is to finishing, here it is!

Programming: 95%

Art: 80%

Writing: 90%

Music: 20%

About the programming:

The new interrogation system is complete, along with its needed assets! The only issue is a minor bug, but it's something that shouldn't affect gameplay too much. Because of this, all the programming that's left to do is to implement new assets! (I'll also add a glitch warning to ensure y'all know what it is ahead of time)

About the art:

Backgrounds haven't been completed yet, but almost all animations are complete! There's only three more animation sets I have to complete, which will include a new animation for Sammy, Johnny, and a new character!

About the writing:

I've decided to extend the demo out a few more scenes, just so you can learn more about your coworkers and someone new! It will also give you a small taste of the dating elements in the game, although it's very light currently. Almost all the writing is complete, I just have to do some small edits and such.

About the music:

This is the biggest addition! I've brought in the wonderful help of VariableGR for music and backupsound for sound effects. They've been an amazing help so far and I'm really happy they're helping me! Please look forward to the demo, their work is amazing!!

How soon will the demo come out?

At this point, I'm still estimating a release sometime very early next year. Although I have made good progress on my part of the game, I don't want to rush VariableGR or backupsound. I'm also in the thick of college right now, meaning a lot of my work on the game is second to my homework. Either way, there's good progress being made all the time, and depending on how things go the release may be even earlier!

and finally...

Thank you for reading so far!!! I'm really happy with all the support the first demo got, so I'm hoping that the second demo will be everything y'all are asking for!
