I had a four day weekend which has allowed me to make some progress on Homestead. I finished re-doing the building purchase menus. It took longer than I expected and the art isn’t 100% but it all works as intended. I still need to add the icons for the tabs and art for each building so that the player can see what the building they are purchasing will look like once placed.

Then I got a script for an item hotbar which helped tremendously. It is working correctly though I intend to change around some of the art for it. I haven’t decided which direction to go with that quite yet.

The final thing I have been working on are the characters within the game. I did a couple very rough sketches of characters as placeholders. I’m hoping to improve with time but I am definitely not good at portraits yet!

I am also working on backstories, motivations, likes and dislikes, etc. for various characters. I have thought out how I want the characters’ schedules to work so I need to have that sorted before I can implement it into the game. I previously decided the name and occupation of everyone that will appear so I am excited to dive deeper into who they are and what makes them tick!
