AoA Weekly #17 - Cleanup work and Cutscenes

Not the most productive week, as the Corren household continues to be a madhouse. We unfortunately had to settle into a completely new routine. Although difficult, it's also a great test of our adaptability.

Although difficult, it's also a great test of our adaptability. So we managed to start the cutscenes for Chapter 2 (and even sneakily edited the ending of chapter 1 to flow better).
changedBeyond all that, work on the animated portraits went extremely well, and you might be seeing them in the demo coming up. :)
addedHopefully next week will be a solid routine integrating the new craziness interrupting everything, and work will become smooth again. Sorry, it's a quick update this time.
addedImplemented the Stormbarrow Chapter 2 puzzles Finally finished adding all the puzzle elements to the chapter, and they're a lot of fun.
changedBoss spawn/death animations Finished all the boss spawn and death animations for the different dreams you'll be entering. Prepare for some tough fights!
changedFinished demo main character sprites The demo stars a character that is long forgotten by the events of the real Ancients of Arkar, and he needed a complete set of unique sprites. They're finally done!

Not only that, work has concluded on ALL sprites for our demo main character. Our demo will be a completely unique experience, separate from the main game and act as a prequel. Yes, you'll want to play this demo for extra, juicy lore tidbits - and don't you worry, it will go over the basic flow of our entire game, so it's a great teaser, too.
