Added clothing accessories + some lighting effects at sunrise/sunset
Received idle anims for the various creatures, and updated the DD25 build with a few bugfixes.
Made a spellcard effect, and gained a new appreciation for Touhou's graphics, never mind the art.
Accidentally implemented wavedashing.
Released v1.1 of Demo Day build and re-registered for the rolling recap
+ Finished chapter 1 dungeon
+ Received the default ground/grass tiles from artist
+ Did a bit of UI work on the Equipment radial menu
- Not sure how many things are broken for Demo Day
+ Finished 4 out of 5 rooms in the first dungeon
+ Improved projectile code to make my level design workflow easier
- Won't have time to finish the first boss before Demo Day, but the rest of the level should be complete
+ Bug-free DD release, as far as I can tell
+ Received first draft of idle animation from the artist
+ Fixed some obscure bugs with the day/night cycle

+ VN-style sprites for MC and first NPC are finished
+ Replaced some shitty sounds with better sounds
+ Added BGM fading/ducking for certain situations
- Missed recap for a few weeks, but progress was made nonetheless
- Art delays
- Not quite done with QA for DD22
+ Done with DD21 bugs
+ Added some UI polish
- Lost some time to mundane save/load issues
- UI/UX design is still difficult

+ Wrote a chara design doc for the artist
+ Made an NPC tanuki and slime that walk back and forth

- Got writer's block'd right at the start
- Power/internet outage this morning due to April snowstorm
+ Made a simple text scrambler for certain NPCs (you'll see)
+ New, less annoying death animation
+ Started fixing projectile system
- Realized projectile system was poorly coded and doesn't cater to too many use cases
- Also realized that bullet hell patterns are complicated, so I'll probably leave that 'til later
+ Started fixing up text message system
+ Created NPC controller, so I can now move NPCs via script for cutscenes
+ Made title screen and intro cutscene
- Still don't have an elegant solution for the tutorial so I'm just using the generic floating key prompts
- Haven't stress tested NPC movement at all, so there are probably edge cases I haven't noticed yet
+ Made decision prompts and a simple branching dialogue system
+ Cleaned up my save/load code so that it's not entangled with anything else
+ Made stage select screen
+ Found a bunch of image effects I can use instead of re-implementing the wheel

+ Finished debugging dialogue boxes
