Hello all,

Although I am due to be on holiday (away from my desktop PC) in a couple of days until the start of August, I shall be taking my laptop and I shall be continuing to implement the script have discussions with my writer. Attached images show the Journal system working and Allegra urging Kamil to sit next to her (the dates are in competition with each other and they may each have their own ulterior motives for wanting Kamil as their boyfriend/husband, however altruistic those ulterior motives may be). Small spoiler there, of course.

Whilst I am on holiday, I expect to be able to the following:

1. implement all of the "tour boat segment" of the caving activity (in total the caving activity is almost 20,000 words in length), which comes with all of options screens, as a direct result of being able to decide who Kamil sits next to, and therefore, have a conversation with. There may be a couple of missing animations which I will have to make when I get back.
2. Most of the golfing activity will be scripted. I will need to pose the characters with a golf club when I get back, which is going to be a pain... since the golfing bundle I purchased does not have poses that work with the Genesis 8/8.1 models I am using (even though I used the "Genesis 3 to Genesis 8 pose converter script" from the official store).
3. Since the swimwear animations are going to be re-used for activity #3, this should make activity #3 be quite quick to turn into code in Ren'Py and I will just need to make any standalone images and the backgrounds.

To close, I must add that I like to remind myself of all the rejections Franklin Mars got when he first proposed his now famous Mars Bar. Even if we get rejected at first, that does not mean we necessarily have a bad idea. We may have to back and change things. For example, did you know: the original recipe for the Mars Bar is what ended up later becoming the Milky War Bar (in the U.S.A. anyway, from what I understood), since his original recipe had little success as the "Mars Bar". Finally, this is a fun project for me and if I make money from it, it's a bonus, but has to be primarily fun.
