Dev Blog Witchmarsh: Daily Update #89

Just time for a quick update this week.

This week’s progress (so far):

• Auto-generate party code and player naming fixed (again). Game Maker was reading the external files incorrectly, so we decided to port them to an in-game database.
• 1 new readable book item added.
• More planning (it never ends).
• (Joe) 2 cutscenes polished with animations, camera functions, and effects. This took up most of our time, but it's definitely worth it.
• Added and tested some new placeholder sound effects.
• (Joe) Reduced the size of the Scribe’s gigantic head (in portrait pictures).
• (Joe) Improved cutscene functionality, adding camera zooming (!), shader effects, embers and glows. Some minor tweaks to the AI, minor bug-fixes and tidying up.
