And so, we've come full circle!
It was gruelling to say the least, but all 6000~ expressions for Adrian are plugged in and ready to go! A huge thanks to Kronos and Slouch who are suffering through my marathon days once again to go through the expressions with a fine toothed comb and make sure everything is correct and displaying as it should! This is still a work in progress, but all going well they'll have everything checked by the end of the month so that I can apply the necessary fixes.
That pretty much completes work on the ingame UI. I've made a bunch of enhancements and optimizations today and will likely continue to tinker right up until it goes live, but as of right now, the UI works great and behaves well, especially considering the workarounds we had to employ to get certain things working... Ren'Py, man, I swear.
My next task will be to begin rolling out this UI design throughout the rest of the game. Currently, it's only the game window that's done, but that's also a good two thirds of the overall work. Implementing a similar interface throughout the rest of Sileo will be an easier and less time consuming task. It is my hope that the next update will be entirely rid of that old dinky UI we've been using until now! Here's hoping, anyway! Naturally, this will make the menus and other aspects of Sileo more mobile friendly, more consistent overall, and more aesthetically pleasing to boot.
I expect I'll make some good progress on this in the days to come, so I'll report back once I have some stuff to show off!
