Hello, Itch, and welcome to Bright Oak!

I've been slacking off on posting, but now that everything seems to be proceeding at a decent clip, it feels like a good time to finally set up Bright Oak's main page here on Itch. Going forward, I'll keep semi-regular updates on the game's progress and new developments here (I have been posting updates on the Bright Oak Tumblr for some time now, too, where I also include my more longform musings). 

For now, this is where things presently stand: 

• First: the script is entirely finished, prologue to epilogue
• Shoutout to the extraordinarily talented Wudgeous ( of Herotome fame ), who has swooped in to help with coding like the angel they are. Because of them, we’re now up through Chapter 3 rough coded; 
• Remnantation has finished lining all sprites, and is starting work on coloring;
• 9/15 music sketches done, as John continues to produce phenomenal work;
• 22/?? backgrounds complete

To do next:

• Continue work on the Chapter 3 backgrounds, and get them plugged in;
• Experiment with some of the ATL Wudge has proposed;
• Finish implementing coding to date, and push on to Chapter 4;
• Determine the demo length, and begin planning and preparation for (hopefully) January release of same!

Thank you all so much for taking an interest in this project of mine-- this story, and these characters, have been rattling around in my head for so long now, I can hardly wait to send them out into the world in hopes that they'll resonate with others, too. 💚

Take care, and be well--

B.
