Game Update

So, due to a family emergency, I'm a little behind schedule. This week I was able to complete all the descriptions for all the rooms in the game. This actually went incredibly smooth, though it was pretty time consuming. All the areas of interest in every room are now clickable and help to give the player an idea of what has happened.

I also was able to finish the key puzzle. So now the player has to go upstairs and grab the gloves, before they can shove their hand into a gross dead body to get the key. It's basically the same idea of the locked door as far as coding goes, but it went much much smoother. I also made it so if the player tries to grab the key without the gloves, the character will refuse because it's freaking gross. He does say that he needs to find something which is a hint to the gloves. 

I wasn't able to get the final puzzle completed this week. There was an issue with the ring in the freezer and due to personal issues, I didn't have the time to work through it this week. It will be fixed and finished by next week though. I went back and looked at what I have scheduled for next week, which is sounds, a pause menu, and a short open and end screen. The pause menu is already done and I have some of the sounds, so next weeks work is fairly light so the puzzle shouldn't have an issue getting done. 

There were also a few minor tweaks that were done this week. The character speed has FINALLY been increased. It took me a ridiculous amount of time to figure it out and it really was embarrassingly simple. The player is now faster and so is his animation speed. Another thing is I figured out how to get the character to say something when he enters a room for the first time. This happens when the game starts up, to let the player know kind of why he is there. It also happens when he enters the kitchen. He doesn't appear to be just totally cool with all the blood and everything now, so that's an improvement.

That's this weeks update! Hopefully next week's will come a little bit earlier.

P.S. 
I'm really sick this week and also out of town and having to use my laptop instead of my normal pc, so both my voice and the sound in general on the video suck.
