​What I got done this week:

• Achievement integration for non-steam versions (there is now a menu in the options and main menu for checking achievements and an in-game notification will pop-up when unlocking achievements if steam is not connected)
  
• Transitions between checkpoints are 100% done
  
• Checkpoint 4 is nearly done (I just need to finish the dialogue)

That's about it for what I got done. I had a lot happen this week and wasn't able to work on the demo as much as I would've hoped.​ I gonna try to fully finish the demo by the end of next week. But, I may have to make the story more linear to reach the deadline for GDWC. Even if I can't finish the demo in the way I want it to be for GDWC, I will continue to work on it until it's in a state I am happy with.

Now, this is what I hope to get done by next week:

• Checkpoint 4 completed
  
• All ending cutscenes completed
  
• Radio voice lines completed and integrated
  
• All music finalized
  
• Credits finalized

What I've got done this week:

• I finished checkpoint 3
  
• started working out an idea for checkpoint 3's cutscene
  
• worked out an idea for relaying story information to the player in a realistic way
  
• have checkpoint 4 roughly 1/3 of the way done
  
• added NPCs an animations for said NPCs (this will mostly be used for the later stories, but there is one NPC in the demo)
  
• added a checkpoint/chapter select thing (you press the forward button to go foward a checkpoint and the backward button to back a checkpoint and then press the play button to start the level from that checkpoint. See attached image to get what I mean).
  
• added the base for steam achievement functionality
  
• added a cutscene for checkpoint 1 (not finished yet)
  
• and added 2 more achievements to the demo

I got quite a bit done this week and am getting ready to finalize my demo for the Game Developer World Championship (it's really just a small time game awards thing). I will update this page when I've finished the demo and submitted my game for GDWC. Now, for what I hope to get done by the end of next week:

• checkpoint 1's cutscene fully finished (with sound)
  
• checkpoint 4 mostly or fully finished
  
• The beginnings of full steam achievement integration
  
• checkpoint 3's cutscene started (and maybe mostly finished)
  
• checkpint 4's cutscenes started (there are roughly 3 cutscene I need to make. So I hope to have 1 done, 1 mostly done and 1 started)
  
• and the start of an undated options menu (I have something planned for it, it's just about making sure it actually works)

that's it for this update. I think the game is looking promising but I do have my doubts in terms of enjoy-ability when it comes to the actual gameplay (since this is heavily story-driven, making interesting gameplay that goes along with it is difficult).
