Been making one song a day this week. I'll spend maybe an hour
on each one.
So far, they've all been kind of slow and atmospheric. When I
get around to making the battle music, I'll bring some more
intensity.

Up to 9 songs now, in addition to the ones I already had sitting
around beforehand, which, I'm uncertain exactly how many I have.
Will probably end up needing about 30 songs in total, so, won't
be able to get it done by Friday unfortunately >_<
Still, it's all generally going well :3

Made about 17 of them now :3
I feel like I started off quite strong, but some of the recent
ones have been kind of samey and uninspired, all grim and
threatening. That can be a good thing for battle themes, but I'm
going to try to change it up and be a bit more cheerful for the
remaining battle themes.

I can understand the feeling, well kind of. I suppose these
samey battle themes don't really fit the tone of the fights
you're using them for? For my mod, some of the songs are created
from sampling other songs to create a new track; suffice to say,
I've been having difficulties trying to create a fitting battle
theme but seem to have little problem with stage themes.

More or less done with the music I guess! I have 33 in total --
26 of them made in the past several weeks, and a few more left
over from the demo which I've decided to keep.
Now I just need to bugtest the damn thing :D

So we will get to listen to music from the demo...?
That sounds great...
Progress is awesome...
(Hugs a lot...)

Yep! *hugs back tight*
The first demo -- Phase One or 0.1.0 -- which contained only
Poison's Lair and which I gave to like 2 people, didn't have any
music at all.
The 0.2.0 demo, which included everything up to Backwoods, had
random music stolen from various sources. I only gave that
version to a few people as well.
The Phase Three demo contained everything up to Underpath.
Because that version is public, I took out all the copyrighted
music and replaced it with music I have the rights to -- SS2
music, random cover/remixes I made years ago which I had lying
around, and a couple of original ones.
I decided that I would replace all the SS2 music (although there
will be a couple of new versions of SS2 songs -- I made a new
version of "FQ3", although I'm not particularly happy with it,
and a really cool new version of "Destiny Defeated Dreams" which
is going to be awesome), but would keep most of the rest of the
music from 0.3.0.
It turned out that I didn't have enough music, and needed to
make at least five more. Out of those five, I've already done
three, bringing the total up to 36 out of 38. I hope to finish
the other two tonight.
Coincidentally, 38 is one of the numbers with a special meaning
in the Misery of Magic universe, so, that's a good number to
have~

All the music is in the project file now, and should work!
I've built a simple debug feature, where I can enter a 16-digit
code, and the game will crack open a save file and overwrite a
small piece of it with whatever number I like. Should be able to
do a lot of cool bugtesting with that, but also very easily
destroy my save files. Good thing I don't care about any of my
save files >;3
Also gave the title screen a nice looking background.

Lot of progress tonight! Went from version 0.4.2 all the way to
version 0.4.5.
-- Updated the credits.
-- Fixed bug where Ending 15 couldn't be triggered at all and
you'd just get Ending 1 instead.
-- Fixed separate bug where the credits would scroll 8 times as
fast as normal in Ending 15.
-- Fixed at least one cause of what I call the "antechamber
bug", which is actually a string of related bugs where some
properties of one area could sometimes carry over into a
different one. This is like the third time I've had to squash
this thing, wouldn't be surprised if there were yet another
version of it out there.
-- Fixed bug where entering the room where Ending 7 happens
would crash the game.
-- Made the Ending 7 object's "softspeaker" into a generic
"speaker" and made it visible -- I've mostly phased out
"softspeakers" because they're a nuisance and if I make them
visible they break.
-- Fixed two minor bugs relating to a minor character -- one
associated with having more subimages than strictly necessary,
another associated with having more than 16 textboxes.
-- Completion percentage of a save file now updates immediately
when the file is saved over -- it would only previously update
after going to the title screen, because for whatever reason the
percentage was being written to the file immediately after being
calculated without being stored internally in the proper place,
so it wouldn't be visible in the game until it been read from
the savefile at a later point.
