Come one, come all! The Forks Meter has filled, and it’s time for an update!
We’ve been running steady this past month, slowly grinding through content and checklists to get us that much closer to the new demo’s release. How much closer? Let’s ask the spreadsheet:
That’s looking a lot greener! As ever, FoxFire’s been a mad artist on a mission to finish these backgrounds. Some, like the gym, have been remastered inline with his new skills and experience. Here are a couple of others you may recognize:
He wanted to take a break from chairs after the classroom. I wonder why?
Others have given us the opportunity to reshape their direction, both visually and narratively. The Barstucks Alex visits early on? Enjoy it while you can, because the Kino Cafe’s back!
How about that, Morgan?
Righto!
Others still are brand new, for future scenes in the new demo:
Nice morning, sure would be a shame for a bunch of fatty shenanigans to spice it up.
In music news, Ars has finished yet another piece! It’s crazy to look inside the Forks music folder and already see eighteensongswhat?!
How many people actually unlocked the placeholder bad end in the first demo?
These guys are slaying milestones in their spare time! And I’ve got yet another surprise to share in this update. BEHOLD!
A working line graph! This, and many more additions and enhancements to Fork’s code and portraits are all possible thanks to the generous help of @e123b ! Within a month, he’s single-handedly solved the biggest programming hurdles, things my weak brain never would’ve figured out on its own. A fully realized texting system, optimized weight tracking, proper call histories, and more! People, this guy’s just popping these out like cheap magic tricks, it’s amazing! 
This game is going to release in a much smoother, feature complete state due to his help, and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks again, @e123b !
That about wraps it up for now, it’s slow, steady progress until the last of the backgrounds are all done. Then it’s on to the next step, and so much more thereafter! I’ll show you what I can once we get there
